lost black rat Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Do we go for it and boost are goal difference? Or just go for the win so say we go 1 - 0 up on Wednesday do we try to boost are goal difference or just go for the win . I think we need 3 minimum just to put some more pressure on the likes of Cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 We need a swing of about +10 goals to make GD a factor. We aint getting 6th on GD, its points and points only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I think Holden has set the team up to go for it, something LJ talked about but never really did. With that in mind I think they will just keep pressing for goals. We have a goal scorer who wants to add to his tally and a midfield player in some of the best form, and an apparent eagerness to shoot that was missing before.

ollywhyte Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Last time I remember seeing a team do that was Liverpool v Palace when they were 3-0 up, we all know what happened next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did it against Sunderland when he brought on Diony at 3-0 up (well, if it wasn’t to boost GD, it was to boost Diony’s confidence). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 It was noticeable late on Saturday we accepted 3-1 with probably 10 minutes left. Up to that point we played the same way and with the same intensity. Just do the same on Wednesday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Maybe... If Cardiff win tonight I think City have no choice but to just throw the kitchen sink v Stoke and hope for a 5-0! Chances are that Cardiff will win at least one from their last two games so GD would be very likely necessary if they beat Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlesh*t Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I don't see the issue with GD we need to win all 3 games so GD I would imagine is going to end up around 0 and we need the other to lose games so they will also end up with around a 0 GD. Obviously all depends on scores but I cant imagine we will win all by 1 goal and they lose all by 1 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Barnsley away this season. 2-0 up and cruising, brings on Semenyo for a confidence boost, and in the blink of an eye, 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose all three games to bring the GD down to zero then it'll come down to points for us, not goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just win the last three games and leave others to their results. Don’t worry about goal difference - keep winning and it will improve anyway. If it comes down to goal difference, it won’t have been the last 5 games that undid the season. Looking at the fixtures, you would suggest that Cardiff will get more than 4 points from their last 3 games, but there are also a lot of teams vying for 6th, who are playing each other, so there could still be 5 or more teams in the mix come the final game.

cityexile Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Win our games and see what happens. If we do that we are above Swans and PNE whatever. Millwall we then cannot tie on gd as they cannot get 8 points from three games. They either win their last three or they don’t. If we win our three, then the only teams we can even mathematically tie with are Cardiff or Derby, and that assumes Derby win at Leeds. Key game has to be Cardiff v Derby for me. If Cardiff win that it is pretty much over. If it is a draw neither team can finish on exactly 70 points anyway. Derby you would think have to play for the win. In short, even if we win our three, it is very unlikely we will end up losing out on gd. Most likely would be to Cardiff. The late defeat to them just seemed to be confirmation rather than important at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking cardiff only on plus 4 so lose all 3 and would be about 0 or less but then GD wouldn't come into it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
