Set myself up for a slight fall?
Usually I'm not confident in City's prospects at all and we duly lose, so this mild optimism isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Don't forget this is 2 hours+ before KO 'slight confidence', what little there is may well have evaporated by 3 o'clock!
If we play well, no one goes off injured, or gets sent off, and the ref doesn't award them a dodgy pen., etc and Baldock whacks home a few his chances I've got a feeling it could be a good day.
