Dastardly and Muttley Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Blooming tight. They're saying 3 from the current bottom 4, basically. Not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea - but they are betting serious money. I hope they are right for all concerned - but if those on here are sure that we are doomed, they could simply place their bets and clean up. I would never bet against City - but seeing as my bets normally lose, I might make an exception in this case. Difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham Romanovich Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 5 minutes ago, pillred said: how many of those bookies have actually seen us play? Quite a few judging by how the odds are shifting towards relegation, a couple of weeks ago we were 7-1 ,last week we were 10-3 and now Paddy Power are 13-8. So in all respects they are fairly confident we will be relegated.Lose to Wigan and I would suggest we will be odds on Sad,sad times and all the more galling as we should never be in this position with the players at our disposal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the ten games left, the first time around we got 7 points from those 10. Wigan Athletic V Bristol City 1-2 3pts Bristol City V Huddersfield Town 1-2 0pts Brentford V Bristol City 1-0 0pts Preston North End V Bristol City 2-1 0pts Bristol City V Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-3 0pts Bristol City V Queens Park Rangers 0-1 0pts Blackburn Rovers V Bristol City 0-1 3pts Bristol City V Barnsley 2-2 1pts Brighton & Hove Albion V Bristol City 2-0 0pts Bristol City V Birmingham City 0-1 0pts Which would give us 42 points if we were to replicate those results. Which would mean we're going down. In order to reach 48 points we're going to have to (realistically) reverse two of those losses. Right now I'd suggest that the games against Wolves and Brum look the most 'winnable' in that scenario. Beating Wigan would give us a vital shot in the arm and at least set us up to have a real go at avoiding relegation. However, as this is BCFC we're talking about we're just as likely to lose to Wigan and then beat Huddersfield. So I guess we'll just have to hold on tight to the rollercoaster.
