cityexile Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yep, all very losable as well. They will all, like Colchester, view it as a bit of a free hit, with in some ways the pressure off them in this one. The teams down there are fighting very hard, and picking up points, Orient also finding a little bit of form. No need to be scared of any of them, but a couple of wins would be nice.

Alex_BCFC Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 We looked tired today. Perhaps time to freshen things up for Tuesday with Saville, Elliott, Bryan, JET etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Orient won today, Crawley held a Sheffield United team that beat us comfortably. Yeovil will be scrapping for their lives. Infact, having teams in the bottom 4 is probably harder than mid table teams playing for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Should be 9 points really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Should be 9 points really Games played since Jan 1 Orient - 9 Crawley - 10 Yeovil - 11 Bristol City 15 Not worried as such, but would take 6 points right now. Equally, in that time Crawley oddly have drawn against MK and beaten Preston and Swindon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 No game is easy. Each of the 3 away games we can win. If we take 6 or 7 points from those games I think its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Should be 9 but you know it won't be. Hopefully none of the managers listened to Tony Humes interview last Saturday about copying the way Sheffield United tore us apart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I would take two points from our next game. Two points a game apparently gets you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 6 points would do nicely. If we start off with a win that becomes quite an easy task! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 All 3 fighting to stay up, won't be easy, Orient and Crawley showing good form recently, for me... 5 points - good 6 points - excellent 7 points - fantastic 9 points - absolutely wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 We won't win all 3 - well I doubt we will. In fact 5 points would not be a bad return ahead of 3 home games. It would leave us needing 5 wins from last 10 games I reckon which is very do-able. As some have pointed out, MK Dons, Preston, Sheff Utd etc have failed to win at Crawley. Add that Leyton Orient seemed to have picked up lately - these will be tough games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yeovil will but a tough 3 points, the other two I'm more worried about no easy games in this little run, we only just scraped past creepy at AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 My take is:- 0-2 points - very disappointing 3 points - minimum return (could get that and be unbreaten in the three games) 4 points - acceptable 5 points - decent, would probably take that now if it was offered free of charge 6 -7 points - get in 9 points - start the parade bus - using Cotterill's logic we would be down to a five or six game season with ten to play ourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Orient is a funny one; on paper still have the core of what was a very decent side last year, and are in okay form (compared to their dire run before) so could be a real test. But then we've sometimes performed our best when clashing with sides on excellent runs this season, and I get the feeling that if teams who perhaps lack the quality of the likes of Sheffield United or MK Dons come out and attack us, rather than dig in, then we enjoy responding to that. Crawley... Saunders has such an awful record in management I'm skeptical of any team he manages being much cop, in all honesty. But their form is okay, and teams in the relegation fight are always hard to predict; can be awful or do a Colchester and surprise you. Yeovil; well, didn't roll over when they played down the Gate, and don't expect them to away either. Add in the a.west derby element and get a bad feeling about it, to be honest with you.

ciderbeans Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Can't afford to drop many points. Preston win their game in hand and they are only 5 behind us. The form they are in, things could turn around very quickly. These three games are vital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Preston win their game in hand and they are only 5 behind us.If you were discussing two teams in another division, with neither of which you have any affiliation, you'd think that a five point gap would be pretty significant and decisive. It's only because it's City that you're taking a less rational approach. An eight point lead at this moment in time is massive. A five point lead will still be. We mustn't get cocky and think it's all over. But those below us will be thinking that it almost is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, should we win our next three games, then in ten days time we will be a minimum of twelve points clear of third, as the other teams only play twice each, and MK play Preston. That is a big ask, but within the realms of possability. Even I would start to feel then it was at least fifty fifty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
