man in the middle Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 One game to many after a fantastic start to the Christmas period, we need more bodies to push for a playoff spot come the end of the season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Yes that's all it is. How come Wolves get an extra day off? These plucky few can't maintain the required intensify on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelksRed Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I don't think that anyone should be criticising this team. I agree that it was one game too many over this short period in part hampered by injuries. I think a level headed approach is needed. Once we rest our team, have a few returns from injury and maybe strengthen with a couple of key players, we will still be heading towards a play off spot. Slight bump in a rather long and up until now road. #Believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engvall's Splinter Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Not a bang down to earth for me. I, like many, remain grounded. A comfortable top half finish I’d be happy with. Play offs would be a bonus, despite where we sit currently. Onwards we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect to be in the top six pre-season and tbh I still don't. Yes we have a five point cushion but that's nothing over 20 games. Unless we bring in some seriously quality reinforcements I reckon we will end up mid-table. Disappointing I guess from where we've been, but still a very good season given our resources relative to the bigger spending clubs in this division.

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Nor me. I`d have settled for a top ten finish with no relegation worries so to be well inside the top six and in the semi final of a major cup having beaten four premier league sides to get there is more than adequate for me thanks.

man in the middle Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Are you all serious after the start we’ve had you’d be happy with top ten and so forth :laugh:, Little old Bristol City, no wonder we’re a lagging stock, no ambition from too many followers.

Not too sure what a ‘lagging stock’ is but not everyone is desperate to get to the premier league....ex-Prem clubs Blackpool, Pompey, Bradford, Coventry, Oldham etc etc demonstrate that it isn’t the Holy Grail that many seem to believe it is....I’d be very happy with progress this season....so a top ten finish would be brill....

I'd have taken a Top 10 finish at the start of the season, no question about that. Of course I'd love City to win the big prize of promotion, but I seriously think that the Man City double header may seriously put the skids under the season if we don't stay sensible and level headed about the tasks ahead. We need loan signings, and quick. Jon Walters and Charlie Adam could be useful as loans, but suspect we need rather more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Put it this way, if at the start of the season you'd offered me a semi final place in the league cup, 4th place in the league and only 2 points of automatic promotion but btw we'd have to suffer a 5-0 drubbing on NYD, I'd have taken your hand off and so would 99% of other City fans.

Andy082005 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 No bump for me. 6 games in about 2 weeks with a depleted squad? It was clear to see within the first 15 minutes of that game tonight it was one to many We have to rest players v Watford. Bryan, Baker, Paterson especially. I dont think ive ever seen us lose 5-0 and not have it phase my attitude towards the team before. And im a moany negative bastard!

shelts Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 We’re in a great position still . If LJ is shrewd in the window he might do the impossible and get us a play off place . The bubble was always gonna burst and it has. Footballs a funny game and I think our owner will back the manager with funds even though he’s stated no silly money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshRobin Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 It was going to happen sometime but if we can quickly recover and start racking up more points hopefully it will be no more than a speed bump on the way to promotion. We are miles in front of where we were this time 12 months ago, anything in the top half was going to be good at the start of the season. What I am afraid of happening is if we don't get promoted is that a lot of focus will be gone from the fact that it's been a much better season (provided with finish top half) and all we will hear is about how we 'lost' promotion. It's Bristol City, so it's never going to be easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
