From a positive perspective, City could easily have gained 6 points with the breaks going City’s way. So, in other words, it could be anything from 0 to 9 points, which highlights the current problem. What is the best team, and what are the best tactics? Best team/tactics - having two players who can play at right and left back would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 3 fixtures where we usually struggle to get anything, so I'm feeling a bit pessimistic about these games. We have to get something away at Leeds and Cardiff at some point, though, so hopefully this season will be it. 13 hours ago, Davefevs said: I think it probably is....certainly the bulk of the side that went toe to toe with "Manchester’s Finest" and strung impressive league results together. Assuming form and fitness I don’t think I’d look much beyond this group. Impossible to pick an eleven that everyone will agree with, but something like this: Fielding Pisano (Wright) / Flint / Baker / Bryan (Magnússon) Brownhill (Kent) / Smith / Pack / O’Dowda (Bryan) Reid / Diedhiou (Paterson / Diony for either) The players in brackets are my sub options, but I might mix n match game by game. I’m really torn between Magnússon and Bryan at LB, as I like Bryan on LM, O’Dowda could easily swap to RM/RW. Completely agree with this group of players. We need to get back to the things we were getting right before Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayRed Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Not as drastic as last year but it does kind of feel that the league has found us out a little following a great start, we either adapt or fade away this year as playing the way we have done doesn't seem effective now. Need to start demonstrating some resilience and start grinding our results, 4 pts for me 1pt Leeds and 3pts Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks 1969 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 in this league who knows how many points? more chance of picking the correct lotto numbers next sat!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshRobin Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Knowing us, following two poor results against bottom of the league clubs we'll probably get all 9!! We always seem to get poor results in games against clubs lower down the league. In reality I would think that based on recent form, 4 would be about right.

Loosey Boy Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Unbeaten in the next three games and all is good! Come on City, don't let this opportunity go! May take another 10 years to get here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I can see a loss on Sunday coming an absolute mile off. A place where we've lost on our last six visits, Leeds out to impress their new manager and us smarting from one of the most spineless, gutless capitulations in living memory. A point there would be an unbelievable result, but it's one of those games where the script is just so so predictable. I should probably stop posting for a while as I hate being negative but Saturday just absolutely crushed my belief in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be such a Bristol City thing to do to get 7 points or something. Because of that that’s what I’ll predict. Win at Leeds, Win against Fulham, Draw against Cardiff. I was thinking the same. Especially since the last 11 league games v Leeds has been w1, d1, lost 9.... That form is going to change. I think we will be outside the top 6 though on saturday evening for the first time since?... Oct is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedNight Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Be happy with 4... delighted with 5/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underhanded Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Think Leeds will be a poor game yet we'll nick a win. Fulham will be a barnstormer and we'll look back to our best and win it Back down to earth with a loss to Cardiff, controversy and a red card. 6 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonPark Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Genuinely think we will be lucky with a point from all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'd be happy with 3 points over those 3 which to me is an indication that we're not going to be a top 6 team at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
