Nuno Gomes Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Can't make up my mind what's the best outcome for us. All three permutations have merit. On balance I think a Birmingham win would be best as it leaves Burton further adrift and may mean Brum are home and hosed by the time we play them.

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 In one of these situations I usually say draw as only two of the three points get used up but I really don`t know this time since we still have to play Brum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS2 Red Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just now, BRISTOL86 said: If we win today I don't care! This. If we win today then we go 7 points clear of Blackburn and hopefully that means Burton/Brum results don't matter to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bristolcity Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Draw, 1 less point awarded. But doesn't really matter, if we win to-day, it's all over really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 No question for me, a Bham win. Burton have Leeds next, and whilst understanding the desire to keep as many teams in it as possible, if it comes down to us needing something off the last game, would much rather Bham were on the beach.

OldlandReddies Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Not even worth thinking about as we wont know until the last games what result would have been best ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 It's surely quite obviously a Brum win we'd prefer if only for the reason that we don't want to be playing them on the last day of the season with both sides needing a result.

Alex_BCFC Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 If we don't win then a draw has to be the best result as it keeps both nicely in there. Wouldn't want Birmingham getting more than 3 points ahead of us before the final day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Fred Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Blackburn,Burton & Forest all on 46 points tonight is not that unlikely....though I'm hoping not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Draw would be ideal but I think Burton will win. I think Clough has it in him to get his players up for this one, more so than Zola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman85 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 If we lose today we are in a difficult situation as we still have Brighton away to play. It really is crucial to at least get a point today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've got a feeling Burton will win. Brum seem to be in total meltdown at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'm one of those who prefer as many teams as poss in the mix as opposed to immediate safety as I reckon City will be safe. The higher up the table City finish, the more money they receive and it also makes us look a better attraction to potential signings. Until Ipswich got their 2nd goal on Friday, I thought it would be feasible for City to finish higher than QPR & Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I am having a small wager on 0-0 and 0-1. Birmingham bound to be a bit cagey plus lack of confidence after recent results/in fighting etc. Burton will surely go to try and frustrate them and get the crowd on their backs and try and nick a 1-0. Granted if there is an early goal the game could open up as both will have to chase it as neither can really afford to lose it. I would prefer a Brum win to effectively get them out of it but if we manage to win I would love a Burton win to keep Brum right in the mix.

TV Tom Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 One of the betting "trade'" papers have tipped Blackburn to win 1-0 because their last 7 wins have all been by that score and what's more all those games were 0-0 at halftime, Burton to win 1-0 at B'ham was also tipped, let's hope they're wrong on all counts!!!!

If we get the points the other results don't matter much. Failing this, then a draw would be good, preferably 0-0. tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
