WTFiGO!?! Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Christmas? That time when you have to unnaturally sit around with the family and no ones got the balls to express what a farce the whole bollox is? Boxing Day games are always coveted in stupid turkey cliches and lethargic football? The "C" word should be reserved for one day and one day only : 25/12.

fka dagest Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I expect us to win in the next three games, but it's the form shown afterwards that will be more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 We'll be comfortably top half by christmas imho. The first win will spark a good run of form that will give us hope of a playoff spot then we'll dash those dreams by going back to being shite in around february-march.

slartibartfast Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Our first season in the basement (note to gappers, we only had TWO) we were bottom at Xmas and at the end very nearly got promotion ,would have been in the play-offs, but not been invented then !

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Our first season in the basement (note to gappers, we only had TWO) we were bottom at Xmas and at the end very nearly got promotion ,would have been in the play-offs, but not been invented then ! Even more recently, in Sept 2000 we were second from bottom, we beat bottom side Oxford Utd at the Manor Ground with a scrappy 1-0 win and by 23rd December had moved up to 5th in the table after beating the woeful, silent Gas on a Friday night. I think that was Wilsons first full season in charge and one win changed the confidence within the team and the fans. I'm really hoping for something similar to happen this season.

CHIPLEY RED Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 To keep SOD happy i don't expect us to win but i'm sure we will win before Xmas. I don't share to optimism or pessimism of some i just hope we can be clear of the relegation zone come the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_s Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Under John Wards promotion winning side we were in the following positions: 04/10/97 Position played pts 19th 9 11 26/12/97 Position played pts 2nd 24 52 Yes the points on the 04/10/97 are double that of now but it just goes to show what can be done. Ward's team surprised me as I didn't think they were that good but belief was huge and Sean Taylor was massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 In our first season in the old division 4 ( 1982-83)we hit bottom place after a 1-0 defeat at Rochdale on 4 December, a identical defeat at chester kept us their, but a 2-2 draw with table topping bury the following week lifted us off the bottom, so we did not spend Christmas bottom, we eventually finished 14 th with 56 points, if the play offs had been in operation and the 7th placed team had taken that place as nowadays that team was York who finished a whole 33 points above us, so a credible second half of the season for us, but we were not bottom at Christmas and we would not just have missed out on the play offs if they had existed. these are 2 preety commonly held myths, the point being that somebody (starbart flast in this case saying something with great authority on this forum doesn't nessxesarily make it true! BTW the last automatically promoted side-S****horpe finished 27 points above us ! (Source Bristol city the modern era by David woods) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Source Bristol city the modern era by David woods) Thank you, I'm not an arbiter on the history of BCFC, but also I always speak from memory of games attended etc. I can't be bothered to dig into books and the like to check facts, it's just the way I remember it. I may not be correct on every single fact, BUT I do think I'm more right than wrong on the general gist of things I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 S****horpe (last automatic promotion place) finished on 83 points, 37 more than us, York who finished 7th had 79 points,33 more than us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opeth67 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I am a slightly pessimistic person, but I like the way the team is starting to shape up. Better footie than I have seen at the gate for sometime. Just the results are disappointing (and I don't use the word "just" lightly either!). But I am also feeling a bit more optimistic because as a starter we are out of the drop zone. I think a few wins are on the cards between now and the festive season, starting with a 2-0 victory this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 In answer, I don't know, it's truly not guaranteed based on playing since August and it being October now, still without that win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
