Lanterne Rouge Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Luton, PNE & Blackpool all away. Three of the four sides immediately above us. Would we be happy with three points or should we expect more? Luton looks like we might have a bit of a scratch side out and the other two are horrible long trips so I think I would be happy with three.

CheddarReds Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 It's nice to be looking up the table. In previous seasons our results against the bottom handful of teams has let us down but this season we've got a great record. Hope it continues. Luton next which will be a tough one.

We're on 1.22 ppg over the season. So that's 3.66 over 4 games. Round up to 4. One win, one loss, one draw. No idea which will be which. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They`re all much of a muchness, mid-table fodder. If one was Hull or Reading we`d prefer to win that one out of the three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get you'd like to beat teams below you. Honestly if we keep going at 1.2ish ppg then we'll be fine. Next three games I'd say Luton away is the toughest. If I had to pick then there's the loss. Maybe a draw with PNE and then nick a win against Blackpool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 These are average teams, but so is City, so a draw away to any of them would be a good result. For me, three points from these three games would be ok. Five points (two draws and a win) would be excellent 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 3 or above would be acceptable, why not more eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be, why would you? they are 3 teams in or around us with similar points we are also showing signs of improvement 5 points would be my hope and expectation though being city a WDL is most likely in any order.

Davefevs Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Just need to win every 3 or 4 games and we are fine. I don’t see us going on a 7/8 winless run of games. I actually see us hitting 50+ fairly easily. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) 3 points from 3 away games is about what you might normally expect, but I sense that despite our injury issues, the team’s confidence is on the up. You only have to look at our attacking intent with Semenyo, Martin and Weimann. None of these away games are particularly happy hunting grounds for us, but I think we have finally broken the voodoo that Preston had over us for so many years. Luton will be probably the toughest game, and it would be good to right the wrong of that last minute equaliser from Blackpool on the first day of the season. So I am going for draws against Luton and Preston, plus a win against Blackpool, so a total of 5 points from 3 games. The really important game is the one after these against Reading at home, which we definitely need to win to put a clear space between ourselves in mid table and the teams in the relegation scrap.

I always think we can win. I see nine points from our next three games and a late play off run! Pubs open!
