City Cat Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Forest v Ipswich and Hull v Sheffield W It would be good if they both win this Saturday against mediocre opposition to confirm their safety before we face them. Especially as Forest have got Cardiff away the week before we go to Nottingham. Last thing we need as opposition is a fired up relegation battler...like we were this time last year.

1960maaan Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I think Hull's form is ok, 10 points clear of the drop and draws against Villa and Wolves and put a combined 9 past Burton and QPR. I'd be worried about our chances against them. As for Forest. 9 points clear of Barnsley in 22nd. 3 defeats and a draw in their last 4, but those 9 points should be enough. Again, I worry about our chances , although our recent form up there isn't to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 There is another way of looking at this. Sometimes teams that have escaped from the threat of relegation start to play better as the players relax and play without fear. Birmingham showed on Tuesday that City’s defence is a bit open at times, and if Hull and Forest play an attacking game I’m sure they’ll create a few chances. Just got to hope their finishing is as poor as Birmingham’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Neither game will be easy. Hull particularly have improved lately... Draws with Villa and Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the City and their fans solely focus on winning all their remaining fixtures and simply don’t consider anything else, including other’s results.

cityred exile Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I was thinking the same Forest not even scored for 6 matches ! they also got Barnsley at home on the Tuesday before we go up there , Yes Hull who score goals for fun will not be easy , but we should win as we always seem to in league games against them Reckon it will go to the final match And we always beat Sheff utd at home don't we !

Spot on....Hull wisely appointed a proven championship manager in December 2017 and they’ve done ok since...beating Brentford, Sheff Utd, Norwich, Ipswich, QPR, Burton, Forest and drawing with Villa and Wolves...scoring loads of goals recently too....11 in their last 3 games....

Let’s hope they don’t start scoring again vs us in a couple of weeks time. It’ll be my 3rd trip to Forest and I’ve not seen us win there. The last game there was so dire I wanted to cry.

Wise words Jersey but you know full well that most of us, including you, will be looking closely at the other results......it's impossible not to!

Nigel Adkins is an excellent manager. My saints mate wants a statue of him for the two promotions and development of outstanding players now at the top of the English game. If only we had him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly the worst and most gutless performance I`ve ever seen from a City side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
