samo II Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Just saw Blackburn lost to Ipswich tonight; leaves them just three point (although with a massively better goal difference) ahead of us. The form they've been in, and pretty much always having a game in hand on us, I'd written off finishing even close to them, but with that extra match now gone it perhaps underlines what a decent win that one against Fulham may prove to be, as has really pulled more clubs close to the fight. Also see Blackburn play away to Brentford next weekend, a team I would really fancy them to beat, if I'm honest. But with both clubs just three points better off that us victory against Bolton, and either one of them losing, we end up drawing another team into the fray. What this all helps to highlight is how massive the game against Bolton is, make no mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattjtsmith Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think I feel more comfortable about finishing above those two than I do Fulham or Rotherham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was LJ I'd send the players out with a give everything you've got attitude and hit them fast and hard from the first whistle. Play like their life's depended on it. If we can win this one I think the confidence (for the remaining home games!) it will give the players should ensure we stay up, lose it, and depending on the other results we could be right back in the brown stuff.

I read on here that Bolton haven't won away all season, they haven't got a manager and they look odds on to go down as well. So.....anyone who has followed City for any length of time knows what's going to happen on Saturday..................... 1-0 to Bolton it is then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Would be an incredible end to the season to finish higher than Blackburn. I'm still desperate that we finish above Leeds, but this requires quite a bit of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Bolton are quite capable of beating anyone in this division , they have quality players but seem to have been undone by all the uncertainty over their future .

City are 17/1 against. Pressure off both to some degree. They were so lucky to get a point at their place, The ref might as well have had a white shirt on. I thought they were worse than charlton who were pants and should have got nothing at the gate. Bolton are league 1 standard and since Cotts left we are near play-off form. given they now have a new owner their game should be raised, but even so I expect a city win.

redfieldred Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 All these people who think Bolton are so great and we are so poor. Bet on them to stay up and us to go down. You'll make a fortune. Oh no forgot. That's not actually going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
