Super Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Villa - Home, Reading - Away, Wolves - Away, Derby - Home, Norwich - Away Guess this will be a good indication of where we are, Can't honestly see too many points from those 5 though.

wendyredredrobin Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Could't disagree with that, but on the other hand, we always raise our game for the big matches and look what we did to Watford in the second half last night. Bobby is still on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I cant either im afraid, Villa - Draw Reading - Loss Wolves - Loss Derby - Draw Norwich - Win I going for 5 points, with our only victory at Carrow Road. Hope its more. Johnson has got a dilemma on his hands, first 11 draw to Millwall, 9 changes and beat Watford away. Whatever he does isnt going to be right to some people.

The Gasbuster Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 We need 4 points minimum from the two home games. The three away games are going to be grim, we never get anything at any of them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 They're all big name clubs - but to be honest, only Wolves have started the season particularly well. The rest are inconsistent and will be no more confident than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's worrying that Villa seem to have got their act together in the last couple of games, but then I suppose we did last night. Its going to be tough. But it wouldn't be Bristol City if it weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Tough group of games but it's an unpredictable league and we seem to raise our game against bigger sides. I predict at least 2 surprise wins in that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 4 points upwards and we'll have done well. But if we don't it won't stop the Johnson out campaign from having a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Norwich - an ex-premier league 'outfit' with big budget and star players. This would be great to put on the managers CV. Well done Lee. We won't mention the (alleged) two defeats and two draws, as these will be against well motivated, clever, and high energy teams.

Wanderingred Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 1 hour ago, Major Isewater said: Could you show me an easier set of fixtures in this league ? For sure. You look at games like Barnsley, Millwall and Burton at home and think they are a great chance to get 3 points. Our next five have no such fixtures and look much tougher in terms of where our opponents are expected to be come May. I appreciate it doesn't always work out that way though. If we get a similar points return from the next four, as we've got ao far, I will be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 @Taxi for Johnson ...you appear to have 'lost it' slightly m8, popping up everywhere with ever more bizarre posts... Maybe a little rest would do you good?.. sorta help you regain a little of your lost mojo. I suggest getting out of your cab and hopping on a bus, get yourself a dayrider ticket £4 and ride around all day hopping on and off of numerous buses spend some time just staring out of the windows & relaxing into a serene dreamtime for a day... spend time with joyriding pensioners people watching and earwigging or just allowing yourself to drift away oblivious of everything for a few hours... when you get home have a nice cup of Ovaltine and an early night... things will hopefully seem clearer in the morning. See you again soon, when you're feeling better, let go of the steering wheel for a while and let 'cheer's drive' take over you can sit upstairs, downstairs at the front or at the back, enjoy the freedom of just wandering around, and ffs leave your internet connected devices at home... To be honest ... I think we ALL need the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonsRed Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 If we get 5 points from next 5 I'll be ecstatic. Surely all 5, if not 4/5 will be top 7 this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Less than 4pts = poor 4pts = acceptable. 5pts = not too bad 6pts = pleased 7pts = very pleased 8/9pts = Delighted 9+ pts = Give LJ another contract extension! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 2-5 points tbh. I forsee given what happened last year win or draw at home to Villa, draw v Derby. Perhaps we can get a point at Norwich also. Our record in the 3 away games is not good however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on City's league position over the last two seasons, most teams are going to be difficult opponents. Even three from four of our opening fixtures this season, against average / poor teams, have been difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
