wendyredredrobin Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 We have Preston tomorrow and Burton on Saturday. 4 points would be great, but 6 fantastic. Equally, there is a full program of fixtures tomorrow. Notably Fulham v Sheff U tomorrow and Preston v Fulham on Saturday, so these wiill be taking a few points from each other. The other top teams are playing too, so a couple of good results could see us comfortably back in a playoff spot. Looking positive for a great week ahead.

Would take four points right now..and three wouldn't be a disastrous outcome. Think we will lose at Preston & beat Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Reckon we'll pump PNE and then put in a ponderous, shitey performance against Burton in proper City fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 A big opportunity to get 6 points, following 3 from Saturday, and that would drastically change the complexion of things. If we could get our run of 12 massive games up and running early then the pressure shifts a bit to the chasing pack. Sheff U results obviously important too. Two tough games but realistically it’s a very good chance to get things back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Will be 2 tough games, Our performances away from home in the league have been terrible for a while now. Need to win one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I am a little nervous about the upcoming fixtures. I would love to be proved wrong but could see us coming away with a point on Tuesday and little return next Saturday. We never have much luck against Preston and Burton seem to be pretty unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take that now. Preston is a “6 pointer” Burton isn’t. If we are to win one and lose one, I’d certainly prefer the win over Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red84 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 After we were robbed at home to Burton I hope we get something there. Preston looked good against us so a tough game. Hugill has gone now but Maguire is back fit for them in time for the run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I seem to remember that everyone complained that we didn't beat either Preston or Burton at home because they came and played negatively and looked for a point or a smash and grab win. We struggled to break them down and they duly took points from us. Would it be right to assume that in these return legs both of these teams will play more on the front foot, more aggressively, more open? Especially as both need to win every game they have if they've a hope of the play-offs and survival respectively. The general theme all season has been "We play better against more open teams". Therefore, prevailing wisdom presumed, we should be more hopeful of taking points in these next two games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon uk Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 We were always going to hit a blib with the injuries, cup run, high press game and crap January window. What the baker and pack suspensions dud do was force us to rest them, which might yet benefit us? with pisano back, oneill available, and also odowda back soon, coinciding with no midweek cup distractions, and the weather getting better, the team ought to be capable of getting what they need from the last run of games and staying in the playoffs. this of course is based on reid, smith, flint and several others staying clear of injuries and suspensions, otherwise we are stuffed.

Wasn’t that last season? Ref was awful against Burton this season. We had just beat Cardiff going long to Djuric. Tried again against Preston but Neil mentioned they prepared for us to go long getting their midfielders closer to the defenders to win any loose balls.

Werent preston in the middle of a horrible run of form and a massive defensive injury crisis (something like 7 defenders out). Probably felt they just needed to get something out of the game however that came about... It's something i certainly wish we were better at as a club.
