Fat Cigar Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 3 hours ago, old_eastender said: We lose each of our next 3 games by a single goal, MKD (who have Brentford H, Ipswich A, Forest H) win each of theirs by a single goal. We finish on 48 pts with -23 GD, they finish on 48 pts with -22 GD. We are relegated and ko next season with Accrington Stanley at AG with stadium not even half full. Meanwhile the Gas make automatic promotion and the pi55 taking is unbearable. Yikes! If this happens (it won't), but if it does, I will be miserable and angry for a very long time. Anyway, we're going to win at Blackburn on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Let's face it, while it is not impossible, it certainly can't be dismissed. Of course it's unlikely that MKDons will win their last three, but if they win on Saturday they will believe that they can do it. Similarly, if we lose on Saturday (which frankly would not be a great surprise if we replicate last night's second half) then we will be feeling very nervous indeed. MK Dons six points behind with two games to play and potentially a better goal difference, and with two final matches against teams with nothing to play for, is not a scenario which would make me feel comfortable. I would certainly not want to go to QPR on the final day needing a point, so the Blackburn match is now a lot more important than we might have imagined before last Saturday. MK Dons fans are rallying on their forums. They know that they are not dead and buried yet. That goal difference could do for us yet, damn it.

I think you also have to factor in Blackburn will want to win so they stay above us. The longer it goes on the more twitchy we will get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I don't consider myself a "forum villain" at all. Outspoken maybe which means that people don't necessarily agree with me particularly regarding Gary Johnson but as time has passed more forum users are coming around to my opinion on him.

oldstandrobin Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 after getting home last night from the match, I went to bed and had a terrible nightmare, woke up and realised it was a bad dream and then dreamed of how it really will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they are.. He's just won another league. Your opinion on him is based on getting caught out and an unhealthy grudge you've harboured for a decade.

Absolutely spot on. Although I'd say that most of the game Derby looked a different class there's no way we set up to go for a point. Unless that's what we did at Brentford too. Two good goals for last night, two shaky ones against and a classy move and finish from Ince. No way will we not get a point/MK Dons get 9 and an improved goal difference. Absolute nonsense. Stay off the Natch, Natch. Enjoy your summer and look forward to the ride in August... A Bristol Derby next season? Not a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One up front....ball came back over and over again. Koj did brilliantly all by himself at times. Still can't understand why he signed Wingie but just put's him on the bench. Still can't see any pattern of play from LJ. Massive summer for him. None of you agree, but hey that's the point of a forum, if we agreed it would be pretty boring. City to loose at Blackburn and QPR, but will beat Huddersfield, thats a prediction. But would like this season over on Saturday. What was it about? Probably because we were playing one of the best attacking sides in the league and neither centre half is comfortable with the ball at feet. But to say we were defensive/negative overall last night is well wide of the mark IMO It is a big summer - he hasn't had much chance to shape the squad into 'his squad' and deserves the time to do so before being criticised too heaviliy - you can only work with what you have and we have an imbalanced squad lacking depth at this point.

BRISTOL86 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 2 minutes ago, Thatch35 said: I didn't say we were defensive or negative. I see you noticed it too regarding Pack and Smith. Having both that far back means even less of an option to move out with a pass. I think Smith was struggling and wasn't even fit, this may of been the reason he dropped so deep. Let's hope LJ has his shopping list written already with championship experience throughout. So the below was accusing us of being defensive/negative(!) : 5 hours ago, Thatch35 said: LJ playing 'safe' last night cost us a point. One up front.....waste of time. Invited pressure. Nice one LJ. It certainly reads that way. LJ has already alluded to setting plans for recruitment in place once we're officially safe. Let's all hope lessons were learned from last summer and we can get some business done early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Wilbraham had a clause in his contract that gave him another year based on games played this season - a contract negotiated long before LJ's arrival. I suspect you know that already and are choosing to gloss over that detail. Bit even if he did have a say - he's an experienced pro in a threadbare squad and unless we're pulling strikers out of our arseholes, no-one should be leaving without suitable replacements AND cover being signed.

Yes, it was written in to the contract, but why play him to trigger the clause. A waste of wages which could of been used on someone else. Not good business on City's part. Because, wether you like it or not, he's one of only two options upfront. He's going to get played no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
