22A Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 At the start of the day I saw it was possible for City to go 7th. I also realised that would require not just a City win, but four other teams to draw or lose. But it came to pass! Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can manage not to lose next Saturday then this unbeaten run will start to look really impressive ( not saying 10 unbeaten is not) and like you say forest seem to be having a mini wobble. Knowing our luck they get a new manager and 3 points ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that defines the next half of the season? was just thinking the number of times we have squandered this kind of opportunity to leap up the league . Really thought it was gonna be another case of " if only we had bagged the points, everyone else slipped up today" Strikes me that we have been playing mediocre and looking over our shoulder until this moment , we are now touching distance from the play offs . lets hope we are more motivated by the carrot than the stick and the players start to believe in themselves because even after ten games undefeated , I cannot sense this just yet , too much fear in our play?? A crucial victory in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 7 League results lost at home to Preston, drew at Derby, lost at home to QPR, threw away a 3 goal lead to draw at Norwich, lost at Millwall, yes beat Leeds 4-2 but not easily and v a Leeds with 10 men for 50 mins and then lose at Reading today. 1 win in 7, not exactly watertight or prolific and 2 red cards today suggests discipline issues?

Still a pretty big gap- let's just wait and see. Teams will take points off each other- we saw that today, gaps can narrow quite quickly but 9 points plus GD quite a big one.

For sure...it's a bigger gap, but doable if others keep taking points off one another. Aim for top 2 and you are more likely to make the play offs...look for 6th and imo, it's less likely. Us and Hull are on the up...hope we don't end up meeting one another again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Think we look good as a team and are hard to beat. Today was a tricky game vs a defensive Bolton. 0-1 and then 2-1 shows we got confidence. A good squad we have with many options and way of playing, as I said earlier, we are getting better and better. Palmer the player that we misded, Taylor a real snake for the opponents. Many games left but it sure is getting Interesting. One or 3 points in Nottingham should be great. We are well prepared for the rest of the season. COYR!!!

I see where you're going with it- aim high and maybe undershoot by a bit but still in playoffs, rather than aim for the base and finish 10th say. Hull's form is out of nowhere really- a bit like the season which was great but ended in heartbreak at Wembley, they were lower mid-table around Christmas or November that season I'm sure.

chucky Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Maybe we could be the team this season that makes the climb from mid table to knock on the doors at the teams at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I thought we were a bit better than them myself, but they had their chances for sure- a tough test and a good win for us ultimately. Could easily have finished a draw.

We could even do it before the end of the season. Because it could easily be a multi-team scrap for the playoffs in April/May. Who do we play on last day of season...why Hull away! Could be getting ahead of myself but what a game that has the potential to be- a winner takes all in that sense- and if we win that would exorcise a ghost to a point!
