Ivorguy Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 A proper bench, save for goalkeeper. This is as good as we can expect at the level we are at. COYR. First match for 5th generation City supporter on his 6th birthday. 73 years since his grandfather first saw City play. Something like a century and a quarter and more since his great great grandfather saw his first game. Covering three centuries and we have been, and will be, CTWD. He has travelled from West Sussex to Ashton Gate. If you see an excited little boy in City shorts and shirt that will be him. Hope, and expect, he will see City win 6 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob k Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 33 minutes ago, ChippenhamRed said: How about with stop artificially trying to frame groups of results, and just say every game is an opportunity for three points, and the more we win the better of chances of finishing in the play offs? Obviously each game is an opportunity for 3 points but realistically that’s not going to happen so you do end up framing games, if I’d have asked most city Fans would you have taken 6 out of 9 from these 3 then most would have bitten your hand off.

The Fat Controller Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1 hour ago, Ska Junkie said: We are screwed and it's my fault as I've put City to win on my accy. I apologise unreservedly for my confidence and will lock myself in a darkened room after the game. I think a darkened room is insufficient. If we fail to win you should be forced to watch repeat after repeat of the game until you have well and truly learned your lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get a good cash out before then either because 2 of the games only went how I wanted after we went 2 up. Still, City winning more than made up for it. Me too, I had Southampton to win, 7 wins and one loss...cost me £490 from a £5 bet...I wasn't unhappy tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was splitting the tiniest of hairs, a wee bit lopsided to midfield and attack and not so strong in the dedicated CB area, but strongest for ages.

Lived in The Rhondda but had an uncle living on Coronation Road and so his Dad would bring him over to Howells on the paddle steamers. If City were at home, all the males went to watch; the females stayed where they should be, in the kitchen! Only joking about the last comment, I think it's brilliant that so many females come to watch us. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1 hour ago, Rob k said: Not sure about that as I’d have taken 6/9 points from Boro, Southampton and QPR - todays points are extras 6 from 6 against 'Boro and Saints was the bonus. Maximising points from games against the likes of QPR and Wednesday is where we've blown it too often in the past and make the difference between mid-table and genuinely challenging for a top 6 spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I can't help but think that this afternoon is going to be a slog. We can safely say that we play far better when teams come at us and want to attack. We have an ability to win the ball and exploit the gaps. QPR will be a team who will be desperate not to lose so will have everyone behind the ball. We should win this but it isn't going to be a thriller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we would but that doesn’t suddenly mean the points today are “extra” or the Southampton points become meaningless if we don’t win today. I just don’t get that narrative. If we lose today and end up in the play offs by a point, the Southampton result still mattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
