Langford Red Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Is the plummet happening again? The last 2 seasons we started well then plummeted Is this the 3rd time? If it is then there are more problems than just one This has to be monitored, as this can not happen every season Your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Villa next a tough game no doubt. After that looks like a bit of a easier run of games though no game is easy in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack Bladder Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 This is exactly why I hate the ' Where are the Johnson haters now?' and 'Johnson out' threads because over the past few seasons it's been either feast or famine and one always fuels the other.

marmite Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 We are a mid table squad. At this early stage 3 points gained or lost can move you a long way up or down. I think we will settle around mid table. No way I can see this group going up or down come May. Just my opinion but I've watched City for 65 years. I'm used to this pattern.

Just my opinion but I've watched City for 65 years. I'm used to this pattern. Pretty much my assessment. The mini-run of four games has catapulted us up the table in a way it wouldn’t have done later in the season, and it’s increased expectations again. It has shown that we are good enough to be competitive, but over the course of the season I’d expect us to end up somewhere in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental fatigue? thats for LJ to address but I’d be more concerned about a “plummet” if it had been several bad games.

What’s fickle is when people extend the criticism to the whole team or the whole season, ignoring previous good results. I’m not saying you do, but many do. Are people so bipolar they can’t take a helicopter view and accept that most teams will have some good and some bad performances? Unless we expect to be runaway champions, there will be bad days.

To play so well and come away with a result that almost looks like you were battered must be a bit demoralising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilRascal Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Plummet??! Plummeting?! We’re currently in 8th place in the 2nd tier - in my lifetime we’ve only finished the season higher than that once! (2007/08). Last season we plummeted to the 4th highest league finish in my lifetime. We’re not Real Madrid - anything mid-table or higher is punching above our weight. But having said that, our trajectory is definitely up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicester Red isnt fickle, he just disappears when he can't moan. He was posting bunch of "Johnson out" stuff, then we beat QPR and he disappears completely, bar 2 posts (one criticising LJ, one the emergency loan system) and doesnt say a thing until we put in a bad performance and lose.

Absolutely spot on. It seems people like to use the most recent result to extrapolate results for the rest of the season. Anything that’s come previously seems irrelevant.
