Lew-T Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 They’ve got very good players, much better than ours and I can only see a heavy defeat here. Thought I’d bring us back down to earth after a recent thread. 0-3 Norwich. *I was wrong, incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 We've just lost 4 in a row. They're unbeaten in 4.... I think we have a good chance but whoever said we'd batter them is potentially underestimating them a tad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Fleuriot Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Definitely underestimating them. Need all the fans behind the team today. Will not be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 This is an absolutely massive match for the team. Four straight defeats and an utter thumping at Villa so it's vital we take the points today. Whilst some fans may think this one should be easy, I have no doubt that LJ thinks otherwise and I'm expecting to see similar heroic efforts as we did on Tuesday but hopefully with a better result . Should be a really good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitchurch1966 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 They beat Brum and Milwall at home, drew away at Burton and a 00 against Chelsea reserves in the FA cup, other than Chelsea not exactly results agaInst form teams is it? Pritchard and Wildshut gone, fire sale underway, I reckon they will be a lot more worried about us than we need be about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjay Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I believe that the mental tiredness will be far greater than the physical tiredness. We have fresh legs and minds to bring on (or start) in Walsh and Kent. The mental strain of putting up such a brilliant and intense performance on Tuesday against arguably the best team in Europe, is bound to have an effect. Even Lee Johnson, who has surely confounded his most noisy critics this season, appeared mesmerised by the enormity of what he and the team where about to achieve. His failure to use the two substitutions available to him to twice break up the rhythm of Man City in those last few minutes, was surely down to mental fatigue. Normal thought processes were lost in the tension of the moment but he will surely learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliftonCliff Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Well, to my intense frustration, I’ve got to sit this one out due to a galloping bout of seasonal lurgy that seems to be working its way through my entire social circle. Grrr. So it’s the usual lifeless Radio Bristol commentary, propped up in bed with the headphones on, and regular monitoring of the OTIB match day thread. Keep the updates coming guys. Very significant game today for all the reasons others have stated. One of those where the result takes precedence over the performance. (Well, doesn’t it always in the end, but you know what I mean.) I’m the world’s worst predictor of scores, but my hunch is that it will be a poor but close game, with City scraping an uneasy, narrow but important win, so maybe a tense 1-0? Cue goal-fest.

Loco Rojo Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 In all seriousness, we do need to ensure there is no complacency today and start the game with the same energy, passion and focus we are easily capable of - closing them down quickly. Energy levels will be key today. Some of the posts on OTIB at the moment in all this euphoria suggests people think we could beat Barcelona and Real Madrid at the same time. Whilst its a great time to be a City fan, we shouldn't get over confident. I'm going for 1-1 today, don't think we'll get battered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would I have brought on the extra subs as we were doing brilliantly and to change players could have cost us the game when it looked we would see it out.

Arrogant? I said with exception of the Chelsea result the other results are nothing to write home about, just trying to be a bit more positive than the doom merchants on here.

robin_unreliant Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Wonder how many will be at AG today? With the Man C games and the financial hangover from xmas maybe a low crowd? We may need the fans to give us a lift today so hope there won't be too many gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
