Bristolded1987 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 If we win our game in hand , we are only 7 points off . Now I know this is a big ask but I believe with the way we are playing , and the belief in the team , this is possible . Anyone else think we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolded1987 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Don’t get me wrong I would be very very happy to get in the play offs . But I just have this feeling we shouldn’t write us off , as I don’t believe I have seen any team better than us , with the way we are playing over the last few games . I do still believe I will win the lottery one day though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the way BCFC have quietly climbed into top six, under the radar, without the exposure that the rest of the top teams have been getting.

weepywall Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 No, but even I'm beginning to think top 6 is possible, we were class today against a decent side in form, we are looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Well a few months ago being in the bottom 6 looked a lot more likely than in the top 6. So however unlikely it appears, it can't be completely ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Just got to take 1 game at a time, we know teams can fall out of form but apart from when we play them we can't influence how they do, just got to focus on our own form, if its enough to make automatic or play offs then great if its not then so be it.

And even though we might not have all these well known have been players , I honestly think we bought young players who are now actually as good or better than the names that are branded around in the championship. I think now we have a team which are as good as anyone in this division. I just hope we don’t have to many injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Everything is still possible, it would be an incredible achievement to make the top two. A lot of luck, minimum injuries and players on form but we can but dream. Would be happy with play offs at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Me The Money! Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Not wanting to be Mr doom and gloom but do people actually believe with the bigger teams we are now amongst that we can stay in the play offs? I would love to believe we can but the fact recent history tells us for every good run there is a bad one not far away, I fear this great run we are on currently will turn into a losing run as we have done in the past. Really hoping I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Visiting Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I really hope so, always good to see new clubs get into the Prem. I can't handle Leeds and the pigs both going up. That'd be awful. I don't have anything against Norwich but they've had enough spells up there recently and don't seem to last very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Stoke, £65m and they are crap! we just keep chipping away picking up points, grinding teams down and you never know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 All we can do is maintain our own form. And even today, there was evidence that we could play better than we actually did, particularly up front. Get more clinical in front of goal, and we really could be onto something this season, and not just the play offs. However LJ needs to play our strongest team, and that might mean not starting one or two of his favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell Hodge, let's see a bit of passion! Do you stay sat down when we score?! You're right if you mean the players should just focus on one game at a time, but us fans should be dreaming, speculating, following other teams results, heart pumping at the prospect of finally realising the long-term, long-thwarted aspiration of celebrating in the May sunshine at Ashton Gate, thousands singing and dancing, as we reach the promised land of the big boys of football, a glorious moment in the history of this great club. Having said that, no, I don't think we'll get anywhere near automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping I'm wrong Don't really think we should be worried about the so called BIG teams. My worry is people looking at fixtures and thinking oh we should beat this team and that team. never works out. All about form. Steve Bruce Sheff Wed got a 90th min winner today could now go on a winning streak. Look at Hull when they came down to the gate looked like a home banker. We were very lucky to come out of that game with 3 points. Look at them since. Makes our run even more amazing. Have Leeds or Norwich gone a longer unbeaten run or won more games in a row? I ask because I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I was looking at this earlier, if we maintain our form over the last 5 games (which will be almost impossible) and Norwich and Leeds maintain their form from the last 5 then I think we will be 1 point behind Leeds but I would imagine we wouldn't be 3rd.

Malago Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 We'd need to win at least 10 or 11 (87-90 points) of our remaining games to be in with in reasonable shout. Big ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
