fabio Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 For a bit of fun and as we are still top I thought we could do our predictions for the 3 biggest games of the season coming up If we are still unbeaten after these then surely we will be well set to continue to Christmas with Crawley crew and Yeovil up after that. My predictions are as follows Swindon - city win Preston - draw Pbourgh - city win on sky scoring a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabio Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Would anyone take 3 draws if it was offered now? I would and I wouldn't only because although the best teams 5 draws out of six is not good enough for top of the league. Or is that harsh???

Malago Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 These 3 games aren't that make or break. To win automatic promotion 85 points is normally enough. That means that we need about 49 points from 30 games; 14 wins, 7 draws and 9 defeats should see across the line. We could lose all three of these games and still comfortably be promoted.

brad blit Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I would happily take 1 win and 2 draws now to stay undefeated, but have a funny feeling it will be 1 win (posh), 1 draw (Swindon) and 1 loss (Preston) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'd take 5 pts from the next 9 as a good return, reckon we could do it to - Win at Swindon, Draws against Preston & Posh - which btw would mean we would have beaten the all-time unbeaten run of 1905-6 stretching to 25 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Can you honestly see us being beat NINE times????? I've seen us beat at least NINETY times The point about three draws is that we're playing our main competitors. A defeat for us is a gain for them. In those circumstances a draw isn't a bad result.

Fair enough :laugh: I don't think we will draw all 3 though but we will see as long as were still top that's what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Swindon has score draw written all over it. Preston has a narrow win City win written all over it to. Posh has a comfortable City away win written all over as well. Don't know what some forum users are worried about.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bissellredhead Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Would anyone take 3 draws if it was offered now? Would prefer a win, a draw & a loss - promotion is the aim not seeing how long we can go unbeaten for (however nice it is) so the more points we get the better (obviously) 3 wins it is then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yesterday was a big game imho. We haven't been playing particularly well recently but getting points. Pre game, everyone I was with agreed that we thought City would lose to Oldham...we seemed to be going slightly backwards. How much did that team prove us wrong with yesterdays performance. They dug in...as if they knew they hadn't been playing to the best of there ability. I'm going for 2 draws and a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkz 76 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 not to loose any of these three games I will be amazed. Think Swindon away will be the toughest game. It's nice being unbeaten but half the people on this forum live in a fantasy world. We will get couple of results but I feel we will loose one of the three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswoodactor Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Why would some people be happy with a point at home to Preston? Rochdale just smashed them 3-0 so we should be looking to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
