Mihai Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hi guys. Today is a big day for us like all 5 remaining fixtures. Boro has a pretty easy game and we can not lose points against bottom teams like we did with Ipswich and Wigan. Those points are crucial. I don't know if I can find a stream but i will be around here all game. Hoping for a clean first half with one or two goals. I really want an easy final game, my heart can not take it anymore. Good luck to our lads and let's make it !!! Love from Bucharest !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneyrubble Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Feel today is an absolute must win game.Appreciate there are no easy games in this league but if I was to rate all the games we have left this would be the easiest. Would love to see us go at them from the start and have confidence in our own ability rather than worry about what they have. 3 points today would set us up nicely and who knows others may drop points. Just hope we're not the ones who lose to a lower team. Should be a great atmosphere if the fans get in the game early. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Zod Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I’m pretty nervous about today’s game. They all feel like ‘must wins’ at this stage of the season. Here’s hoping for a few early City goals and a strong performance. One thing I’ve learnt with City this season is that easier games on paper don’t always turn out that way. I think the next 8 days will make or break the playoffs dreams of us, boro and Derby. It’s in our hands guys so 90 minutes of support needed today no matter how the game is going.

Padlad Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 We need the first goal I feel or at least be level at half time - Up the City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I think this could be another draw, will be swung by any events such as poor refereeing, red cards or injuries. Our season is going down to the final game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Team will be interesting to see, didn't really work having both Taylor and Wiemann on from the start against Villa. Like to see Weimann start up front central with Fammy, m/f of Pack, Brownhill, Eliasson and either Korey (if fit), Kelly or Palmer - definitely not Pato! For once at home against a lower half team we need to be at them from the off and move the ball quickly. I know the term is overused but this really is MUST WIN.

Dr Balls Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Reading are not in bad form and still need points to avoid dropping into the bottom 3. We need to really go at them from the start like we did against West Brom and get an early goal. Our home record against teams scrapping against relegation is not great, so a draw wouldn't be a shock, but at this stage of the season, it could be extremely damaging to our playoff hopes.

No, Derby is "must win", or at least "must not lose" None of the other games will be "must win" unless our playoff hopes depends on it. Failure to win today wouldn't end the playoff chances for us.

robin_unreliant Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hoping to see Korey Smith back today as I think he makes a huge difference. Will be interesting to see what formation LJ goes with. Weimann needs to be up front not out wide imo. Not sure how we'll set up so I doubt Reading are either, which can't be bad.

BanburyRed Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Potential banana skin today, Reading picked up of late, wins against Preston & Brentford, a 97th min equaliser away @ Norwich. We need the grit and determination of the wins against Sheff Utd and Boro, fast start required, particularly as own recent home form hasn't been the best, certainly for a team in our position. Win and we put pressure on teams below us to match our result, a draw or loss and we hand impetus to others. Still in our hands!! 3-1 City. #COYR # OTIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Multumiri @Mihai Home form is terrible and I hate playing lower sides as they will throw the kitchen sink at us. 1-1. We have to be super careful today. COYRs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failure to win today wouldn't end the playoff chances for us. I think you're taking the phrase way too literally. Try thinking about what people are saying when they say 'must win'. It's an empirical statement not a theoretical one. It's loaded with context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
