reddogkev Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just wondered your thoughts. I am very serious, when I say that I anticipate a city win tomorrow, irrespective of the league positions. We all know about the upturn in our recent form - but even looking at our two squads as they now stand on paper, I feel we have the better of the two groups of players. Does any of this make me crazy? And I've not even mentioned the impact of our new gaffer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 P.S - Before you say it, don't worry, I can categorically state I do not have the influence to 'jinx' the possible outcome of the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 No your not crazy your an optimistic City fan like most of us. Two things in our favour - the "honeymoon" effect that a new manager has and the fact that Ipswich are racked by injuries. City have a great chance of 3 points tomorrow.

With Pemberton having done so well and still at the club, I would hope that changes to formation and personnel are kept to a minimum. Johnson strikes me as clever enough not to undo the good work of the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redapple Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm very confident about tomorrow . 2-0 , Tomlin to score first goal . First time since about September I've felt brave enough to have a bet on the outcome . It's the MK game a week on I'm concerned about . At the moment thinking 0-0 might be a good bet and good result . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I suspect logic will tell you Town will win, but when did that ever account for anything at City. 2-0 to the Super Reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southend Blue Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 To be honest we're a very average side right now and the wins we have picked up this season have for the most part been fortunate. We will be without a number of key players for the trip over tomorrow including many midfield casualties and as for the forward line, on paper they could be one of the best in the league but simply don't perform as regularly as they should. We have relied on late goals in recent weeks to see us get a result or avoid defeat and if your attackers can really get at us from the start and put our defence under pressure you'll have a very good chance of getting points for your relegation (no offence) battle. (Or to pull up away from the lower reaches of the league if you like) I don't know who your new manager is with some embarrassment but it's a pity you couldn't take McCarthy off our hands instead.

Wanderingred Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I've learned not to "expect" anything when it comes to this football club... I'll never forget making arrangements for a trip to Cardiff in the LDV Vans trophy final when all we had to do was beat a truly terrible Cambridge side at home! An offside goal and a game of a lifetime goalkeeping performance from Llionel Perez later and we'd lost! On the flip side, remember Southampton away on New Years eve? Ending their year long unbeaten home run! We have a great chance of winning today. U REDS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is when he scored those nine though, he shouldn't be living off that all season, he really should have scored many more by now My concern, he's a young guy who is not used to playing so many competitive matches and is being run into the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I expect a good preformancelike most of the matches this season. There have only a couple of matches this season when we have played badly, a combination of poor finishing , poor refs and a slice of bad luck as been are undoing. The effort and comittment by the players has always been there, hopfully that won't change. The team is not a basket case, the foundations are there, Pembo and Wade made a couple of small changes and got results , I fully expect us to continue in this vain. Over to LJ .

Where do you think your lot will finish this season? Looking at the way your results are going, I'd say you'll suffer a bit of a slump and end up about 10th. Any guess for the score today?

Any "fatigue" with JK is between his ears and a goal - any goal - is the remedy for this. That's how I see it, anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that same season we drew with them away too, meaning it's two draws and a win for us in the last three. More pertinently; they've not won away from home since the end of December, so I hope the team take the game to them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm fairly confident about today. We've looked more solid of late and like others have said Ipswich have got some injuries. Back to back wins would really help to breed confidence. My main concern is whether we'll be clinical enough in the final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Be happy with a fighting draw, though would be nice to score (and ideally more than just one for once). Staying unbeaten going into next week's game against MK Dons, and ideally with them below us (go Derby today), is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I went to Portman Road earlier in the season and left disappointed at only one point. One nil down, two one up, but then the team appeared to lack self belief and fell back allowing Ipswich back into the game. A fellow fan sat near me summed it all up; "OK City are winning, trouble is there's twenty minutes left to play". I like to think the team is now more mentally up for it than it was five months ago.
