Conway looks some player for you, hopefully Bernard keeps him quiet, if Poveda or Musaba are on form we have half a chance. Mental to realise its nigh on 20 years since you had 4.5k up here in League One. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I fancy us more away from home. I’m sure they see us as an opportunity to get points, and hopefully that plays into our hands: BTTS and City win. 1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This is a game where I just want to see City show they can play and impose their style on an opponent to create chances…and hopefully goals.

Alessandro Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I think lessons will be learned from QPR and we will up our game today. Away from home might suit us - if Wednesday have a go, which they need to, we have the ability to punish them and win well. If we're dragged into another scrappy game, it's coming down to that one moment where someone on either team takes a chance for 1-0 either way. As others have said, would be good to see us control more of the game today too. Edited February 24 by Alessandro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) A shame really that we lost last week as I noticed the fixtures. Hull v WBA, Coventry v Preston Next week, Preston v Hull, WBA v Coventry. Norwich v Sunderland even, not sure who either have today mind you. Had we won last week we could have built a bit of momentum and seen where it took us. May also have put added pressure on Hull at Southampton and maybe even West Brom at Plymouth.

And yet as it stands right now at HT in the Hull v WBA game we'd still be 5 off 6th place even if we'd won last week, and win today, ie even if we'd put together a 4 game winning run, 12 from 12. Norwich are away to Blackburn and Sunderland at home to Millwall. One of them will win, quite possibly both will win today. This is why it was wrong to talk of the play offs even after Southampton. At this stage it's not in our hands and is so unlikely that we make up those points. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the pleasure of dreaming. I think it's an interesting demonstration of the maths of a league table though. It shows that when asking the question "can we close this gap" it's just as, if not more, important to consider the number of teams between you and the spot you want to be in, rather than just how many points away you are. That we could have gone on a 4 game winning run and barely closed the gap at all. It's a useful reminder of the harshness of the system.

Let alone mid December when the top 2 were not just well ahead but setting records. I should caveat my original post with it needs 5 wins,6 in a row to enter the picture..maybe 5 and a draw.

We're chasing about 7. Much easier to hunt one target down than cope with 7 others all collecting points. Anyway, team news is out so let's make way for the no doubt incredibly positive and optimistic discussions of 5 changes and Twine's absence.
