Guest RedwardsV1 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 We have lost a game and lost our Winning Streak, but we are second in the league 5 points ahead of QPR (Though they have a goal in hand) and 2 points behind Plymouth Arglye, A Few weeks back we were no where near catching them 2 up and we did, I think we just have 2 w8 4 one of the teams 2 slip up even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spike Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Thats what I'm thinking too, there was a point when most of us were hoping we could get into a play off position.... the winning streak seems to have made us think we deserve the title beyond all arguments... I'll be happy if we get promoted and I'll be over the moon if we win the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tully Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 agreed. we don't beat almost half the division (admittedly Brentford twice) in successive games, then become a team with no hope just because of an unfortunate loss at Sheff W. 2 home games and a visit to the 2nd bottom team should ensure we are back on track again!

fct Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 The whole thing is that we had a lot of unreasonably over optimistic people spouting unrealistic tripe about going up because we had a winning streak. I tried yesterday and friday to warn people that it wasn't a formality against Wednesday. There is no divine right a team on top of the table to win matches (Plymouth have found this out also). Similarly a team down at the bottom, I give you as an example WYCOMBE (take heed everyone), doesn't necessarily lose every game. City have to roll their sleeves up and s#### now for every point. I will not say City are going on a long non-winning run now but you cannot disregard the possibility. Only by sheer hard graft and determination will City win on Tuesday. If they turn up with the attitude some forum people here have, in that we will turn up and win easily, then Wycombe will get the three points. I want a reality check by people.

Guest bemmyred Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Tuesdays performance will say alot about the run in to the end of the season, Citys luck ran out yesteday, any realistic fan will know that we havent been dominant in the majority of games lately, against to be honest mainly mediocre sides. We couldnt go on relying on last minute goals forever, we have to start taking a more positive approach from now on , take the game to these sides and have the game won early. We have the squad to do this , its up to Wilson to utilize the players to the best of their ability, namely letting Goodfellow loose on the left for a couple of games to see his so called qualities that have yet to be realized sufficiently. Tinnion needs a break so revert Wilkshire to the middle with Roberts on the right to at least give the team a more balanced look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTauntonian Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 i am not worrying yet, because the winning steak had to end some time, and could be a good thing that it has ended. Now we just have to pick up the pieces on tuesday. But in the back of my mind, i am thinking, please not again, i think you all know what i mean! Please don't let it happen again, it has happened to many times in the last few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City have to roll their sleeves up and s#### now for every point Argyle too have their fair share of supporters who think that automatic promotion is in the bag..............well it aint! This divisions top two automatic promotion places are going right to the wire. I even think one of the present playoff teams could put together a run (like you did) and make some ground up on the top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cider gliders Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 As the Plymouth fan said, it aint over yet! There`s still a lot of football to be played and we will ole drop points before the season is over! It hurts, but forget the defeat at Sheffield an push on to Division One! We still think it will be us an Plymouth, but we aint puttin` any money on it! We`ll only start to panic if we don`t beat Wycombe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpaul Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Now is the time to see how good we are. Last season we went 19 or so games without defeat, but once we'd lost it was another 2 months before our next win. A team with promotion ambitions must have the mental strength to go on and win the next game after defeat ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
