INCRED Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 So Derby play at Preston and Boro at WBA, two tough games for the two clubs directly above us. Beat Swansea and we are in the top 6 if both Derby & Boro lose. Can we stay there and push on towards the top 2 and put pressure on others in the promotion hunt? Can we continue the 6 game winning run, at what point do we start to really believe and enjoy the chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allwaysred Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Swansea scored late tonight drawing 3.3 with Brum so decent for us heading into the weekends clash but really fancy us to give them a tonking...... Looking at fixtures in February they really are massive and looking at Flints mob I think there the ones will be chasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you are right, however the amount of chances we have missed lately suggest we just might tonk someone soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely we could and the upcoming set of fixtures are just one more round of the Championship schedule when the different results effect the entire league table. Personally I try not to put o much emphasis on one set of weekly results. Nothing is won in late February. That said, just like every other City fan I really want City to win against the Jacks.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 No chance of top two. Top 6 tough as we are bound to go on a bad run at some point. All about if LJ can turn it around quick when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on a great run and I am enjoying it. I feel we have a decent chance of finishing top 6. Also, I will accept that we will probably finish around 11th. But it is fun at the moment.

Exactly, Boro are the team to chase because they have a torrid run of fixtures in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 It’s completely irrelevant where we are after Saturday. In many ways it would be better to stay out of the top 6 until nearer May. Keep picking up points and see where we finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly the last time we played Wolves in the FA cup they got to the semifinals and we finished 8th in our division. That would be a more ‘ City ‘ season but let’s hope we smash it . City double FA Cup and Division winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, sadly history tells us LJ is more likely to takes us on another winless run, so best keep the current winning run going as long as possible!

spudski Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 The mind set has to be to aim for second spot. It's not impossible. Fall short and you end up hopefully in the play offs. Set up to sneak into the play off spots and you are more than likely to fall short. Aim high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They scored 3 last night too so have goals in them, but of course they let in just as many too. All we can do is go out to win every game and not worry about other teams. The points are there for us to win and by doing so will put pressure on the others, we have to better or match their results, so just keep doing that and what will be will be.

Bristol Oil Services Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I was more than happy with a quiet, leisurely, steady, low-stress, low-tension midtable snooze - with maybe a nice little cup run - for a change, and Lee blinkin' Johnson is making a complete bloody mess of that, currently.

Its gonna happen eventually....and they are not a bad side Swansea. I just hope we don't have another Wolves-esque style game that completely knocks the wind out of our sails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Swansea have the fourth best away record in the division, whereas we have the twentieth best home record. I love the confidence but this is a long way off being an easy fixture. Very tough and I wouldn't be disappointed with a point at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Championship fixtures are easy games - we saw that against Rotherham and Bolton which on paper looked ‘easy’ but neither were. The Jacks will be just another tough AG game. Hopefully they’ll come and play in an attacking style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
