reddogkev Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 To even think of City winning 4 in a row this season sounds incredible, especially after previously winning just 1 game a month. I'd fancy us to score a couple Tuesday, and I wouldn't be surprised if we pick up a 2-1 win. If we do, LJ is going to think this Championship malarkey is a piece of cake.

samo II Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 The benefit of picking up nine points the last three games is that when we come to face a team like Brighton we can afford to look at the match and consider a point a decent return. Obviously, don't imagine we'll be looking to do anything other than win, but with the bottom three all away from home that night, I think staying unbeaten this week (even if that is two draws) would be very good; five points from MK, Brighton and Forest would be a great return.

Ivorguy Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 For most of the game at Brighton we looked the better team, and if we had been better set up we could have won. So I remain positive that 3 points are more than possible on Tuesday, especially as Brighton have gone off the boil since the earlier match Bounce Bounce Bounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonwurzel Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Agreed that 2 points from the next 2 games would be a decent return. Brighton are poor at the moment though and this is a great time to be playing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 It'll be tight, very tight... oooooh. we might just nicker it though... arghhhhhh. 2-1 ? With Florist in a previous free fall and a future, potentially upcoming free fall as well we should rip off a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 After the exceptional run we've had, the pressure is off a little I think. A draw will be considered a good result, but we absolutely have what it takes to make it 4 from 4 and keep piling the pressure on those below us! Confidence is high, and the side seem to have that belief back that has been missing. Can't help but think two goals at MK for Jimmy will be the catalyst for him getting his mojo back! Going for an optimistic City 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Brighton are still high up in the league and also the form table so would expect it will be a tight game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I hope we beat them. I still haven't forgiven them for beating us in that horrendous play-off final in Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Considering Brighton were running away with it when we played there- I thought we did really well and I witnessed the worst penalty decision this season which resulted in LF being booked. We were near the bottom , Albion were top and unbeaten in ages -we came close to a draw and certainly not outplayed. This is a game we could now win in style but nobody ever reads the script.

Jack Dawe Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 We have to believe that Brighton will be smarting from yesterday, and that we can expect a reaction to that result. It's unlikely they will be so poor again, unless they are about to do a "Derby." Tough evening coming up but it's what we're in this league for, fixtures like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Offcause can we win. Confidense, defence, strikers, sellout. More than 50-50 I Think. COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Put it this way; the motivation for our boys is to potentially put up a ten points gap between ourselves the relegation spots, while for Brighton it is getting back into the automatic promotion spots, so I firmly believe both sides will be out to win. In context, a draw for us is better than for them, so expect them to come at us, and based on how we've been playing across recent games, I see that suiting us.

lenred Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 They looked pretty ordinary against our friends across the bridge yesterday (as did Cardiff I thought, even though the score line says differently) so I don't see why we shouldn't win what with confidence surely sky high in the camp now.......2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 They are on the same points in the form table in the last 6 games . So it will not be a easy game and will want to erase the 4-1 defeat from there minds. I'd be happy with a draw but If we stay tight in defence as we have done recently no reason why we can't have a good go at Brighton for the win.

Alex_BCFC Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 It is a winnable game but I won't go getting too excited. We got to where we are in the table quickly but things can change around the other way quickly too. A win could put us to within 1 point of safety going on average points per game of the bottom 3.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Much as I`d love us to win it I`m just thankful it`s not the `must win` game that it might have been. I`d be happy with a point TBH and keep the unbeaten run going and if we were to lose, at least it won`t be against one of our rivals. I think I see it as a bit of a free hit really as I suspect most outsiders would expect Brighton to win. With Rotherham, Charlton and Bolton all with difficult away trips that night I can`t see them picking up too many points so it could easily end up as you were with one more game gone if we did lose.

I still hold a bit of a grudge against Brighton, though. As others have said it won't necessarily be an easy game, but at least we can go into matches now feeling more confident and without the fear of defeat putting us in the bottom three. If we win - fantastic. If we draw it will be a useful point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 They were horrendous against the Welsh so i am sure Hughton will be looking for a reaction. Will be a tough un but on current form we can beat anyone IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRed Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 As we all know football has an acute ability to kick you in the teeth when you least expect it.Tonight is a free hit in many ways but it would not be beyond the bounds for two of the three in the drop zone pick up something and we get nothing. I actually fancy us tonight mainly because we have tightened up so much at the back and we have a keeper that inspires confidence BUT, I would settle for a point.
