Lawlor, Kpakio, Davies, Joel & Rubin - homegrown first team regulars and broken into the Welsh squad.

Bagan, Ashford another two homegrown talents regulars in the side and doing well with others including Mafico, Nyakuhwah, Giles all looking like good prospects and in and around the first team.

Articulate, knowledgeable and well connected manager, passionate about the club, engaged with the fans, implementing a philosophy and style across the club not just first team.

Go through a bit of a rough patch for a few games, including playing two sides going through a new manager bounce and the sky is suddenly falling in.

Honestly, feel embarrassed to be a City fan reading this thread.


Everything is fantastic at the moment isn't it?

How dare anybody say anything critical as they must be wrong.

And we've got the best owner in the league too!

I hope they put some of those clacky things on the seats at the next home game so we can all show our appreciation for everything and how happy we all are, even if we lose.

Pointing out things aren't going great at the moment is fine.

But the total out of proportion responses are way over the top and agree with the comment about being embarrassed of our fans.

People need to get some perspective, the people who are turning on BBM seriously need to get s grip. Just look at the table.

Yeah, we've hit a blip in the road but it's really not as bad as some are trying to make out.

My suspicion is it has nothing to do with BBM but because they're blinded by their hatred of Tan. Either that or they've got nothing going on between their ears.

I want Tan to go as much as the next man but it doesn't make me lose perspective on the football side of things.

So I wholeheartedly agree with Ealing's comments.

Sadly some on here probably wish we were where Plymouth are. Then they would have something to really moan about.

Turning on BBM is crazy after how he's turned us around.

Years we’ve been moaning that we have no style of play, we don't attack enough etc, BBM has given us that.

We hit a bad run (like most teams do) and now some clowns want him gone. Very fickle fans on this board.

I agree our form is not where it needs to be, and we need to be finding space on the edge of the box to get more shots off at times, not just try to pass our way into the box, when teams are putting 11 players behind the ball.

I 100% want BBM here for as long as possible and I’m sure he will turn it around AGAIN.

It’s all about putting the ball in the net , we are not direct enough around the box . Our shooting is rubbish . Too soft in midfield . We are always looking to walk the ball into the net and once it breaks down we are WIDE OPEN for the counter attack - teams have worked this out in my opinion. We look great at times but no teeth .

100% agree and couldn’t have put it better. :notworthy:

Whatever you do though, for Christ’s sake don’t have a meltdown. :laughing6:

The ghosts of the past are haunting us; our defence is struggling again.

We look fantastic building up play, holding possession, and moving the ball into dangerous areas. But the second we reach the final third, everything falls apart. That crucial final pass? Missing. The shooting? Non-existent.

The relentless injuries and rotation at the back are killing us. Losing Lawler, Fish, Kpacio, and NG has constantly destabilised everything.

We need to stop the experiments and get back to basics. The team needs consistency: Trott, Kpacio, Fish, Lawler, Bargan, with Wintle sitting right in front of them. Let's build stability from there.
