Guest Donnie Darko Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I think the problem with the last 3 seasons, is when we've got into a great position (ie top of the league for about a week in Jan or Feb), the players have all panicked as they're now being chased and not doing the chasing - so in a sense when they reached the peak, promotion was in their control - meaning that that was more to lose from each game than there was to win. This time however we've entered Feb with nothing to lose, we aren't top of the league, we aren't in the playoff spots. Therefore the players really should now be able to go out there without any fear and give it everything they've got. Maybe that's how it worked for Palace last year, as once they were clear from the relegation zone, the fear factor stopped thus allowing them to play a lot more freely thus leading to success. Hopefully the same now applies to city - if they play without fear, they are certainly one of the best teams (top 3 at least) in the division.

Robbored Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 The fear will be that of losing another game which would surely make reaching the play-offs even less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex1089 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 good post hope this becomes reality but cant see this happening but we should really get 5-6th place as we have a easy run of games and teams above us don't so we should nip in!
