I forgot the rule that every result is decided entirely based on what we do. The other team are in the bottom 3. We were in front and chucked it. Would have been safe pretty much if we had won today, but we can't defend a lead. At least we didn't lose. Didn't need to go to the last game but it still might yet. #JohnsonOut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show that selling out to a foreign owner doesn`t always turn out like Man City. Forest, Blackburn and Brum all below us and all with mad foreign owners.

Hopefully we will crawl over the line. Pressure? I hope we have little pressure yet total professionalism. Just take a step back; 4 points (5 with gd) clear; 9 points available... we play Barnsley and the team trying their hardest to get relegated last at home. In the middle we have a game on sky when we know our sky record is actually quite good. Compare our situation to Blackburn, Forest, Brum. Their pressure levels should be exponentially higher and indeed their belief and confidence exponentially lower. I know we are not mathematically safe, but I do think we probably already have enough points on the board.

Not clinical enough and then like a knife through butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been avoided had we won today but we couldn't defend a lead against a team in the bottom 3 from a winning position. Typical City.

Not clinical enough and then like a knife through butter. Agree with everything. But away from home that's how it goes. We are going to do extremely well not to concede on a day like today. I don't think this reflects on our defence that much. As soon as we scored the goal we knew a storm was coming in them going gung-ho at some point; that was a certainty. There is going to be an individual or collective error facing that onslaught. We weren't clinical enough by the sounds of things to take it to 2-0. Again, can't be too damning - we've scored 4, 3 and 2 in our last three home games. It's disappointing today, but recent form players still in credit. 7pts from 9, including an away draw at our rivals preventing them from gaining any ground, and gaining on Wigan, Forest and Brum on the same afternoon... gotta be happy, gotta be. It's like being disappointed with an A because it's not an A+ when you're predicted an F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHAGa Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Brilliant spirit shown from all yet again. Could have been more clinical at 1-0 and would deservedly had taken all 3 points, but to hold on after Blackburn equalised with a fair old way to go was good going. Blackburn needed the win and would have been chucking absolutely everything they had at us, it would have been easy to cave in. Point gained on Forest and Birmingham. Still not over the line but leaves us in a positive position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think we go to Brighton who are in rampant mood, we could and most probably will take a beating there. Have to win at home on saturday for me, if we don't it's going to get very uncomfortable. We could quite possibly be safe now........ I think 48 will be enough personally!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QI Red Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yeah, with Zola resigning, the Barnsley game on Saturday is looking big. Don't like the thought of us needing something from the Birmingham game now he's gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely Blackburn. Would be happy with Forest or Brum as well though. To be honest, anybody but Burton for me. I want them to survive. I would hate for the status Quo to be maintained with the big sides who have been crap scraping through while the little side who have performed admirably against the odds just fail at the final hurdle.
