Home Leicester L Blackburn D Huddersfield W Rotherham W Away Plymouth D Sunderland L Norwich L Stoke L I’d take 8 points tbf!! we all know we wont be able to beat the team everyone beats ( Rotherham ). And we’ll also probably win a game we shouldnt (Sunderland). But i’d snap your hands off for 8 points. But i’d settle for 3, 18th place and a new manager in Summer. Although, if they are going to keep Bernard Manning, then they have to seriously back him (£10m min) in the summer. Do i trust him with that, probably not. Do i think £10m will buy us enough to be better than we are, no. Do i think he can get most of these players playing better than they are now, no. No idea on budgets but Tinman saying we cant compare to Coventry spending £23m having made £25m for Gyokeres, when weve made c£35m on our sales to Bournemouth, is a joke. Will they give him £10m? I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) You have to hope for 7 minimum for. the 3 Home Games vs Blackburn, Huddersfield, Rotherham. In theory it isn't an awful Fixture List as a whole but I dunno..confidence and morale feels low, momentum is heading one way only.

Ironically we might get more from the Sunderland away game than we do from any of our home games. I would target that game and the Rotherham game to win but I don’t think we will better last season’s points total or get more than 15 wins.

Harvey86 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 We’ve recently lost to Sheff weds and QPR, so I really don’t think there’s any team in this division that you can hand on heart say we’d beat with confidence. Rotherham as close as a sure bet I guess, but I 100% wouldn’t bet on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Since it was pointed out we look good against good sides, then lost an entertaining game at Ipswich, Manning has found pragmatism, and we are now as dull as dishwater. I think he will try and stay in games , which means a borefest . It also means we will probably only try and win when behind . I predict boredom interspersed by anger when we concede and shock when we score. Honestly can't see a win other than a scrappy 1-0 . From really getting the taste for away games back earlier in the season , not only has that been knocked out of me, if it wasn't for habit and the social side I'd think twice about home games. It's been a hard few years watching City, but I thought we were past that , and then we get this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams that are doomed to relegation suddenly play relaxed football, hence City to lose at home to Rotherham on the last day of the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It’s a favourable run of fixtures and we should be getting at least 12 points from the 24 available.

A team who had arguably their best ever season in League One last year, over 100 points and back in the Championshup after 15 years away… New manager only 8 games in and they’re already onto their owner and demanding he’s sacked. Goes to show exactly how passive we are as a fan base. If people truely wanted change they would demand it, I sometimes wonder is OTIB simply the minority because it never translates to Ashton Gate.

Numero Uno Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) 29 minutes ago, Davefevs said: That’s quite a reversal of posting “form”??? To be fair I think @Bat Fastard is consistent in defending Tinnion more than anything. I don't agree but it is subjective to a degree and that's what forums are for. Liam Manning is a piece of cake to judge - you just look at our record before and our record since and that's enough for many - all the subjective stuff like the performance standards does is add jam. As for Jon Lansdown, he is the Chairman and if he wasn't the Owner's Son we would all be calling for his head. But he IS the Owner's Son and therefore we don't have that luxury so we can only judge Tinnion and Manning on it in reality. I must admit, as childish as you think it might be, I'm enjoying observing the absolute desperation of the "Nige Out" lot, and that includes the Evening Post/Radio Bristol club fanboy, who are now advising me that judging results and the patently pitiful number of goals scored since Boxing Day (three months ago more or less) is "Cherry Picking". Oh, and a squad that had 35 points after 24 games was always useless so how could he possibly avoid the absolutely nailed on relegation form since? It's great to see you lot squirming now cos your ridiculous impatience, that was taken by the idiots upstairs as validation and vindication of their decision to sack Nige, 100% started this whole chain of events (that has turned into a royal **** up) right off. Your "progressive young new boy coaching thing" is really ruining things for you - to the point where Steve is now starting to consider whether he needs to intervene - it's gotta hurt!!
