Nuno Gomes Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well at least that what the EP says. And if we win we'll be out of the bottom three. I think Wolves and Blackburn may have something to say about that! "City dropped into the relegation zone last weekend, but can exit the bottom three if they defeat Wigan at the DW Stadium tomorrow."

Taz Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 What you don't know is that in order to stop the negativity from the supporters, we've somehow managed to persuade Wigan to bring the game forward and play it behind closed doors. Won't be any booing then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTBLUE Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 So according to LJ we've now gone from two must win home games,to the Wigan,mustn't lose game,so that's one up front again,go one or two nil down and then change it to two up front and have a go when the horse has already bolted.

It really is a strange thought process. At what ever level of football. I played for 20 years. (At what level doesn't matter) But I never ever played in a side that the manager was relining on his subs to win the game. In any level of football your best players start the game? Or am I so out of touch with the MODERN game,that now I don't know **** all!!!! Sorry it should say know **** all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sets the team up incorrectly every week and chases the game by making these subs and eventually getting to a better set up. Agreed I haven't seen a manager have to chopand change and utilise subs to get the desired result weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I haven't seen a manager have to chopand change and utilise subs to get the desired result weekly. He sets up to not go behind and hope that we might grab a goal, he then relies on his subs to win the game. He has mentioned it a couple of times, that is his actual tactic. To just not let the opposition score, and who knows get lucky with a goal or two until the later stages of the game where he has confidence in the bench to go out and win a game. That's why we are so damned awful to watch for large periods of matches, and why we don't conceded to many. It's worked a couple of times, but overall it's a awful tactic but one he seems wedded too.

Hampshire reds Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I always want city to win. But I fear the worse sadly. Wigan had a good result against birmingham. Got some decent players. But don't worry if we do get beat Johnson will say players gave everything the pitch was poor and we still have games to get us out of this mess. Usual crap.

BCFC J Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 How many we expecting up there tomorrow? Simple train journey, relegation clash, got to be a decent number hasn't it, even despite all the ongoings currently. I'm going to stick my neck out and say we'll get a result up there as well, they've won three home games all season (we've only won two away, but let's ignore that for now...). Probably a 5-5 after being 5-0 up at HT if I'm being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
