Lanterne Rouge Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think it`s more a game we need to win as it`s one of the `easier` games that we have left - not that any Championship game could ever be described as easy though.

Pezo Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 It depends on what we want, if we think automatic is possible then yes, if we want playoffs then it would certainly help, if we just want to stay in this league then we don't need to worry about it. I think we should be going for the playoffs so it would help but not a must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 If we talk up the potential for a bad run it creates a tension amongst supporters and it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. I really think that. We've lost two games narrowly against superior opposition while continuing to play well. There is no reason to think this is the start of a bad run and every reason to think we can beat Birmingham on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 If we lose to Brum, it will be 3 on the bounce. Well into the sort of run we don't want, especially when we are now trying to sell season tickets for next year. I will be really disappointed if we don't start with a right back.

I'd hardly say losing at home to a top-half PL side and away at the league leaders can be fairly summarised as a "bad run". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's more of a not lose than a must win, what with a bang in form Preston coming up after. With no points from the next two the doom and gloom would set in. But I fancy us against Brum, game under the lights always make for a good atmosphere the players and crowd will be right up for it. City 2/0 Brum.

But IF Derby lose to Forest and we beat Brum, we’ll be in the top six and five points clear of seventh. Why speculate about a negative that may not happen? Hard to believe fans are already talking about a bad run after one league defeat, away, to the league leaders, 3-2 after being 2-1 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 We’ve put ourselves in a really good position. Cliche time but every game is a cup final and home form so important. Tuesday represents a chance to bounce back early against a tidy Brum side . Hope it’s not racked with tension and we play with no fear roared on by the City faithful .

The next 3 fixtures are less must win than mustn't lose, especially the game against Preston, who are the form side of the chasing pack. And each of them will bring different challenges. Brum have the best striker in Che Adams, Preston will be dirty, sorry "physical" and Leeds will be Leeds - in other words even dirtier than Preston. We just need big performances from all of our players. And a proper right back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Brum wont be easy. Away from home Monk sits 2 banks of 4 just outside the box with the onus on the home side to break them down. They will be niggly , time wasting , and looking for a 0-0. It will be a tough night but I expect a narrow 1-0 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One defeat to a top 8 premier league team, one to the top team in our division. Hardly desperate times. Why dramatise something that is hardly worthy of it?

McNasty Filth Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hoping for a bit of good fortune at the start which will make brum come out and have to attack us. Our home form in terms of creating chances against teams that sit in is not the best, so can’t see us winning at a canter, so 1-0 or 2-1 for me.

That’s why avoiding defeat on Tuesday night will be so important. Im sure LJ and the players are very aware of it as well and hopefully that’ll be added motivation on Tuesday at AG.

DT The Optimist Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Carry on what we have been doing and all will be fine. Two tricky games particularly an in form Preston who always beat us but still fancy 4 points from these games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
