22A Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 OK, still infused with yesterday's euphoria, let's look ahead to Friday's games and ideal results. Obviously a City win which would give us 47 points. Forest (45 points) v Blackburn an away win or at worst a draw there please. Rotherham v Brum (46 points) - a Rotherham win or again at worst a draw as Brum have a far worse goal diff than City. Burton (45 points) v Ipswich (47 points). I'd prefer a draw as (provided City win) Burton will be below us and Ipswich only one above us by one point. Dreamer - maybe, but mid table obscurity is still achievable which, given City's position just a few weeks ago, will be satisfactory. One other ideal set of results for Friday; Somerset Rebels speedway play Poole H&A, so a league double will be the icing on the cake if the above results occur. The match at Poole starts at 11.00am and the home match at Oakhill at 7.30pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore a Blackburn loss and à City win leaves them needing promotion form to overtake us , Not impossible but improbable. See my thread of today .

The Blackburn game is absolutely key. We have 4 more points then them atm (it'd just as well be 5 with Goal Difference). Blackburn will be a nervy affair and has got "do not lose" plastered all over it. The pressure from the crowd at Ewood Park may make them crack....they need to win. We don't. All we need to do is match their results and we'll be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Our destiny is still in our hands. A win against QPR on Good Friday and a away win at Blackburn which we are capable of could see us safe. What worries me is just how unpredictable with been all season. I didn't think we would get anything out of yesterday game against an inform Wolves. Now heading into the QPR I like others have renewed confidence but every time we have expected City to deliver they have come up well short.

cidered abroad Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 We certainly do not want Blackburn to win at Forest. A win for us v. QPR and a Forest win would put us SEVEN points above Blackburn. That could be enough to ensure our safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 We beat QPR and Blackburn lose and it's pretty much game over. With our goal difference Blackburn would need a minimum of 8 pts (2 wins 2 draws) from their remaining 5 games which looks highly improbable.

Get in and knock that if you can!! Here she goes again A very very valuable 3 points yesterday and coupled with a bad reverse for Blackburn an open door to survival - excellent Sensible people might still wonder why the season has been a car crash and whether it was a bizarre freak or something a bit more so we don't suffer a repeat all season And you think a %65 renewal if season tickets is a roaring triumph do you ?

Your quite right, If we go could into Monday game with a seven point lead over Blackburn and then beat them , the lead would be 10 points and Championships football next season... easy said than done.

Great result yesterday but it was far from a great performance , don't count your chickens against QPR . That vile piece of shit Holloway will have them right up for it.

cidercity1987 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Lets worry first about survival then look to finish as high as possible. Therefore City and Forest win on Friday then a win on Easter Monday and we'll be mathematically safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I think id rather Forest hammer blackburn to be honest. The main issue is us staying as far away from the bottom 3 as possible.

JoeAman08 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I won't assume we beat QPR so a Forest win still leaves us 4 points clear at worst going into the Blackburn game. A draw there means a 4 point gap with 3 to go. It would be nervy the last 3 but it's not the worst scenario either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that Rotherham are so unlikely to get anything from Birmingham as well. Been a while since I got to see some speedway. Last time I went was 2014 at Eastborune. Somerset moved up to top division this year which will be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 You can't possibly want a Blackburn win Friday! Forest will survive with Warburton in charge. So them beating Blackburn plus us beating QPR essentially would mean we are almost safe. Avoid defeat at Blackburn and that will be that I reckon.

BS2 Red Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 While finishing mid-table would be nice, at the moment we need to ensure survival. I am writing of Wigan as I don't think there's a hope in hell that they'll catch us and so our easiest route to survival is for Blackburn to lose all their remaining games.
