I still feel partly responsible for the play off final, and i was at the fulham match on boxing day that heralded the end of this season's good times....

jagerbob Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Think we should play our strongest XI until the last game of the season, just like we did 2 seasons ago. And Billy Davies' Preston did this against us, fielded a weakened team, lost the game to us, conceded the home leg first, but they still beat us over the 2 legs. I can imagine the 3-6th being settled before the end of the season so when hull derby and wednesday rest some players on the final day..... Brighton and Boro and Burnley will have full strength XIs out trying to secure top 2. Whoever comes 3rd will probably then be knackered and heads down for the playoff campaign they werent banking on.

Change of manager to the much-travelled, ex-Ram loanee, Lee Johnson, son of Gary Johnson. Started his managerial career three years ago at the age of 31! Highly thought of. Likes a brand of fast, high-tempo, expansive football. The Derby way? Johnson in. What are his odds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Tough one this. In half decent home form and fighting for their lives. Walk away with 3 points from this and the beliebers will be out in force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Barnsley, they allowed him to speak to Bristol City, even though he was much admired by the club and supporters atBarnsley. I think Britol City have got a bit of a gem, but time will tell.

We can secure play-offs with a win, they can secure safety with a win. Should be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might make a great manager. Since I have noticed many of the best managers were really crap players. I think Johnson falls into this category.

He's come across very well on the occasions I've heard him speak. They're independently minded the folk of Bristol.

From what I've heard from the Barnsley fans I've spoken to, they weren't too fussed that he left, put their position more down to the players than the manager. He must be doing something right at Bristol though - that or Cotterill is worse than everyone thinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
