Time to stand up and be counted…..

Cheers.

But you're conflating support for City with critical analysis of City.

I'm 100% a City fan - but I separate support from analysis.

At present our team need support. Let Pep do the analysis, that’s what he gets paid megabucks for, I’m here to support my team. Sorry. When we lose one match I might analyse because that’s fine but after more than that Pep and the team have earned my respect and my loyalty. Sorry.

This is just MY HUMBLE OPINION. Others will, and do, see it differently!! ;-)

Us older fans have seen far, far worse than we’re seeing right now.
But we’ve been spoilt beyond our wildest dreams.
So, now’s the time,
The players,
The manager,
The coaches,
The fans,
To get our shoulders back, chest out and to bloody stand up and be counted.
Today needs to be our 1998 York City result and Tuesday needs to be our Wrexham result. The start of something special.
We can do it. We’re going through a tough patch but we can definitely do it.
Win, lose or draw, we’ll be with you.
We fight to the end and now is the time we really need to fight.
Come on you blue boys.

I remember my first beer.
 
Get through until January, couple of good purchases to give us a boost, ensure we finish top 4, buy wisely in the summer and we go again next season with a reinvigorated squad.

Great sportsmen and coaches never rest on their laurels and spend their time being happy with what they have achieved in the past.

With some fans mentality we would have won very little over the last few years.

But we’re fans,not players,not coaches,not DOFs, not CEO or chairmen. Luckily we have the best in the business for those positions. Leaving supporting the team on the pitch all we need to worry about for supportors.

If you're in the stands on game day and not cheering for City with all your might - then yes - shame on you! City needs your support. The emotional, loud, boisterous support from fans in attendance on game day makes a huge difference.

But if the game is over and you're on Bluemoon, posting about how well (or not) the team performed in your opinion - then, well, it has no effect one way or another on the team's performance. Might as well take a long, hard sober look at the side - and its performance - and engage in debate based on what you saw happen on the field - free of emotional bias toward City.
 
We won four leagues in a row. We also did the treble. We have made records and then shattered those records. As fans we have been truly blessed, because I can tell you for free we won't witness this kind of domination again.

We are in a crisis, yes, but it's only a crisis because of the standard we have set over the last four seasons. I'm at peace with it; the squad needs a rebuild, we have the best manager in the world to facilitate that.
 
Things will probably get worse before they get better, but as I said to one giddy rag last night, long as we finish above them alls good in the world.

We all know what's coming today, a Jesus like resurrection of the scum with associated fawning across all media outlets,

Time to buckle up blues, we,ll come good just a matter of when.

I imagine Peps hurting as much if not moreso than any of us, time for some faith in the man to come up with a solution - I,m going with - Haaland at CB and play with a false 9.

Well it must be shame on me on Tuesday as my doctors won’t let me go (not that I would make it down all the stairs anyway) but I will have it on TV and be shouting and supporting. ;-)

As for being on BlueMoon and it having no effect you may be correct but I just can’t help defending the team. Sorry. I guess we just have to agree to disagree. :-) :-)

Yeah but we're on a forum, the players do get supported on the pitch.

People need to realise our playing and coaching staff are at the top of the game, they're on the big bucks and part of that salary is dealing with pressure and criticism. They will see the media.
They ain't gonna fall apart because some poster on here is disappointed in the recent results. They will be disappointed themselves.

Pep and his staff will be trying to find answers, you can see that with team selections. Why on earth do people think fans won't be doing the same thing. Its part of being a supporter.

I think we need honest conversations about who’s fit and who’s not in the dressing room. If you’re not 100% put in someone who can run for 98 minutes. It’s clear the squad are putting themselves forward for minutes because we are in the midst of an injury crisis, Kyle is a prime example - so far off it, but it’s making the situation worse.

We look at the matchday starting 11 and think ‘that’s decent that’ and then 4 players are 60% fit and it goes to rat shit.

BUT in all the games we’ve lost maybe barring one we have done enough to win the game if keepers didn’t have worldies or a shot was an inch the other side of the post or bar. We are still in the race and we will be come May too

Sorry to hear that you won't be in attendance on Tuesday Eccles. I hope for a speedy recovery. You seem like just the sort of fan City needs in the stands :-)

Full disclosure - as you might have guessed from my name - I'm from the USA. One day I hope to fly to the UK and watch my favorite side - and if that happens, I plan to yell my voice hoarse!
