Pretty sure we'd still be 4 points clear with 9 to play IF we beat them.. and one of those games is Brighton away.

I honestly think five points now will do the job..if we can't achieve that with the remaining five fixtures then we deserve our fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 We will stay up now with no issue, Blackburn have been terrible for most of the season and our home form is very strong. We could collect maximum points from QPR, Barnsley and Birmingham. And I'd expect at least a point back from Ewood Park. God, things always look so much better after a decent win.

Dullmoan Tone Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'm not sure why everyone / anyone is so optimistic - we have managed 12 shots on target in 270 minutes of football, one win against a very poor Woves outfit, who clearly had little to play for, doesn't give me any hope we have turned a corner and can expect to beat QPR / Blackburn or Barnsley. We were an excellent Frank Fielding save away from going one down and probably losing yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston was a strange, surreal, embarrassing blip. But look at Reading yesterday, these things can happen. Blackburn are dreadful. We are not actually that bad a football team. And the point about FF is a strange one, he is our keeper, so he is there to make those excellent saves for us. That's his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Do you think Wolves would have beaten any team in this division if they played like that yesterday? Chatting to the Wolves fans afterwards, they agreed - said they have been so much better recently (didn't see that performance coming) and couldn't understand it except to say best player was missing.

cheesleywalksoncider Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Yep a win Friday and draw gainst Blackburn and it feels like job done. However knowing City it'll never be straightforward, before today I was pretty much accepting relegation after the last 2 performances, now I'm thinking we could be safe by Easter Monday. Funny old game I do question my sanity sometimes following City, it is meant to be for enjoyment, when Wolves got one back today it certainly wasn't enjoyable. I thought here we go again.

It was a brilliant save but you have to say you expect the striker to score - I'm more interested in how the chance was created, it was the usual dithering city midfield and out of position defence.

I've said for weeks that the run of games from Wolves h to Barnsley h will determine our fate. We have three very winnable home games left. I think if we win on Friday survival is pretty much a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were an excellent Frank Fielding save away from going one down and probably losing yesterday. Just as well we have games against poor QPR , Blackburn and Brum sides to feed any optimism then Seriously , the win has lifted spirits a little and if we drew all 5 games we could survive. We all know anyone could still have good or bad runs and any one of 4 or 5 teams could join Rovrum and Wigan (allowing for a miracle ) , but with every point dropped by Blackburn the job gets more achievable .

Nice one Kev, it is how a Bristol City supporter should feel, cos that is how it is following the Robins, I felt it in the the 60's 70's 80's 90's 00's and even now. Its a sunny sunday and we won yesterday.....................enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Has anyone noticed Brums run in? Burton. City. Rotherham. All below them. Also a derby game v Villa.... If they're not up for the fight they could be in trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm normally optimistic when it comes to city but Johnson has ruined that this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
