headhunter Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 It begins with a Bournemouth side who will want to regain top spot and maintain their unbeaten start and then Tuesday it is a resurgent under Steve Cooper Nottingham Forest who will provide a stern test. Even more daunting is a trip to the Hawthorns a week today where the home side will be looking to cement their position in the top two. 2 points from 9 and whilst I genuinely believe we won't be in a relegation scrap a 13th - 18th end of season position beckons. Anything above 5 points and do we dare to dream that 6th [you can predict a top 5] is achievable? We'll discuss the match action in our live FBC Podcast at 6.00 PM: https://www.podbean.com/lsw/voj3TKjf6G?lsid=NeD6LF0Kuk7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Boring as it sounds, I don’t think it’s the results in games against the likes of Bournemouth, Brom and Fulham that will define our season, but how we do against the likes of Forest, Coventry, Barnsley, Birmingham and Blackburn etc. I sense an entertaining game of football today….lots of battles to look out for. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillred Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Bournemouth are unbeaten this season and we haven't won at home since god knows when, there is only going to be one result today and it won't be the one the bookies are going to predict we are city after all, so I think we will get at least 4 points from the next 3 games which typical city will mean we could finish anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I’ve had a gut feeling all week that B’muff will lose their unbeaten status this afternoon with a City 2-1 win. No rationale behind it whatsoever……………. Lets hope I’m right. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, before the next break let's say it goes D-W-D-W-L-W that puts us on 27 points with 1/3 of the season gone - its the hope that kills! Wasn't it MA who said when we were riding high at the turn of the year in 17/18 that we "weren't ready for promotion" - showed that with an unimpressive January window, a squad that either wanted away or bought into that mantra of failure is acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think it's always a mistake to read too much into a run of 2 or 3 games. We could win our next three and still tail off dramatically after Christmas. Or we could lose all three and still make a play off push. I see it more as 8 days that could define the next 8 days...
