The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yes, you're right, but you wouldn't bet against us getting them given our recent form. The fewest points we have gained from a run of eight consecutive games this season is 5, and that was in the dark days. We are presently averaging around 14 points from every eight games.

wallaceboy Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Far from over,as we seen a fortnight ago when our 8point gap was reduced to 2 within 72hrs.although I would be satisfied with 50points.so another 2wins and a draw from 8games should be within our reach.and with our current form easily reached.

Phileas Fogg Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I think we'll finish above Brentford, which would be a good end result despite their horrible form in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 3 days we went from having an 8 point gap to a 2 point one. Things can and do change quickly. I'm optimistic don't get me wrong - but unless it's your first day supporting Bristol City, you'd be mad to say it's all over already! We have amazing form for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I don't want to sound too nonchalant and confident, but it's over. Those 2 wins against Fulham and Bolton have sealed the deal, the rest will be a formality. I'm so certain, I don't even need to consider the alternative.

You may not want to sound too nonchalant and confident, but you do. We could quite easily lose the next two games, without a doubt - then its back to squeaky bum time again.

Make no mistake it, we were certain to go down under Cotterill. Don't believe me, look at the points taken from his last ten and extrapolate. We were in serious trouble. I have nothing but respect for what he achieved for us in League One and the JPT but if it weren't for the change, we'd be surpassed by Burton next season!

If we do, then I'll just hold the entire Rotherham squad hostage until the season is over. I'm sure some of those old bunkers in Bedminster must still be around!

While I too am , lets say optimistic rather than confident (don't like tempting fate). But what do we have left? 3 promotion contenders , the surprise division form team , 2 tricky away games and Brentford who although they have been bad they will be at home. Even Huddersfield have had a couple of good wins lately so will be no push over. I don't see a sprinkling of guaranteed 3 points jumping out at me there. What I do see is potential to pick up enough points , but lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really our fixtures that concern me too much, I just don't see MK Dons developing the run of form to grab an additional 6 points to catch us, and then earn the extra points to finish above us. MK Dons simply aren't good enough to do that, so no need to worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 This Bristol City we are talking about. Just like the financial world our owner knows well, past performance is no guarantee of future returns. It ain't over till its over. The fat lady might have had a quick gargle but hasn't even got her ballgown oout of the wardrobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
