Guest KingswoodRed Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I'd be interested to gauge if anyone who thought that City were nailed on for automatic promotion before a ball was kicked this season, have changed their minds after the first 2 games? Bearing in mind that is a valuable 4 points dropped already, are we to rely on another 14 games unbeaten, or 11 straight winning streak to get City closing in on promotion again this season? Paul Hart is on record as saying Barnsley HAD to win tonight if they are to be considering promotion this season, as it is teams like City that had to be beaten for this reason. Are Barnsley & Torquay the types of teams City HAD to beat to be considered as serious promotion hopefuls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesco Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 It a long long way tp go yet and just because after two games we aren't looking good and only have 1 point I don't think it is quite time to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylus Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 i still have hope, i think we'll do it as runners up. But it'll be close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 To answer your question, my opinion after 2 games is that we will definately not go up. however I think if Tinns ditches this awful formation and goes back to using width then we definately have the players to do the business.

Guest claloudav Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I'm sorry to say this but as far as things are going at the moment I will say no. If we get our act together and start winning the games then maybe a top 6th spot. We just have to remember that every point counts, last year we missed out on automatic promotion by 2 points. We need to start getting the points now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewsham Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Like every other season, I hoped we'd do well, though with new faces in key positions (including Tinnion), I believed that automatic promotion was always going to be an optimistic shout. Here's a bold prediction. We'll win only once in August! We'll pick up in September! If Tinnion thinks that pressure is growing - he's right...and it aint going to get any better 'til we string together back to back victories.

If we take a few games to get things right then obtain the 90 odd points we need it doesnt matter to me although 30 straight wins at the start of the season would be better!!

Show Me The Money! Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Maybe this will be our year sneak into 6th spot and then go all the way through the playoffs. Last 2 years we should of gone up and didn't Maybe this year we won't deserve to go up and win the playoffs I'd take that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monster red Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Here we go, less than a week in to the season and everyone is doom & gloom!! Who cares what we think lets deal with facts!! :Costumed89: If I remember correctly Plymouth started last season with 1 point from the opening couple of games!! and look at them now, Nothing is decided after 4 days of a football season, although Iwould agree it hasnt been the best of starts!! Lets look at it after 10,12 games then we can all make a more balanced assesment for what this season holds. I have complete faith in Tinman and know he will get it right!
