21. Marcham Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I know our recent run has been nothing short of sensational after the first half of the season. However, talk of Wembley is already growing. We still have very hard games coming up this season: Preston H C****ff H Swansea A Burnley A Reading A Brum A Ipswich H Derby A(There on a decent run) Aswell, we'll also play the relgation threatened teams fighting for their life. I think we're in for an exicting run in to the end of this campaign. ALWAYS BELIEVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taunton_City Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I said at start off season that i would be happy with a top 10 finish! And i stick by that even now!! How ever we are on a great run now so have to go for it!! Just take 1 game at a time, stay around here just off the play offs and see what happens!!! Enjoy the ride!!!

ciderhead_sumpter Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Agree i'd be happy with top10 but it's hard not to get excited with our current form And why not optimism is great! Unless we fail then it hurts even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson always talks about the groups of 10 games, we have had a steady improvement on those throughout this season. the most recent block of 10 brought us 21 points, which if you consider that part of that included some of the 8 games we went without a win, is pretty impressive. We need another block of 10 like that to even consider the playoffs. March will be the month that decides our season, but the average will be the important thing.

Robbored Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 It doesn't matter that much who City are playing. After four consequetive wins the confidence in the camp is sky high and the City players won't fear anyone. Games can't come quick enough and its a shame theres no mid week match coming up before the Southampton game. At the same time Johnson and Millen will keep them well grounded. Absolutely no chance of over confidence creeping in. As for the play offs. Usually around 70 points is enough to get into the top six. Thats another 23 points from 15 games. Roughly 8 wins in other words. 10 wins would better last seasons talley of 74 points. Thats why I won't be too concerned if City should get beat a couple of times. But its very true when managers say 'take one game at a time' and I've no doubt that Southampton are now very much in Johnsons thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I have a really good feeling about this season know, i would be delighted to finish in the top 10 but the play offs would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Interesting thread this suppose we could predict the overall points gained from these games? Preston H - Draw Cardiff H - Draw Swansea A - Win Burnley A - Win Reading A - Lose Brum A - Lose Ipswich H -Draw Derby A(There on a decent run) - Win Overall I predict we'd have 12 points from a possible 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 79 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 don't want to be pedantic but we got 18 points in the last block of 10 still 18 is better than any of our blocks last year (i think it went 17, 17, 17 .. ) so if we can get another block of 18+ then we can look on to the playoffs Indeed it was 3 lots of 17 cant remember the next block either. We are not many points behind where we were this stage last season. Got to remember we went through a poor finish to the season as well last season. We will struggle to get anything away to Reading and Birmingham. The rest of the games even though they are difficult we have every chance of taking points from could be an exciting end to the season again. Its great being a City supporter cant predict anything!! We often seem to go on these runs loads of games without a win - to load of games without defeat its weird but keeps you on your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading have won 2 out of 7 and Brum seem to draw all the time. If Preston and Burnley can get points at those two respectively I see no reason why we can't.
