Collis Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 City wins: 34Rovers wins: 24Draws: 30Tomorrow nights game is massive for us. Anyone who doesn't care about the game is hard for me to believe, the consequences of losing are unthinkable but the potential rewards are huge;Dayout in Cardiff, wooooo!The chance of a trophy.Bragging rights.By all means it is not going to be easy for us tomorrow night. But I do think that we have the upper hand. Our away support is fantastic, our current away form is exceptional. (Wins at Blackpool and Brighton were unthinkable this time last season)I think Rovers will find it hard to break us down. Their best chance is IMO to use pace and keep the ball on the deck rather then long balls. I can't see them getting much luck from set pieces, as an in form JMC will clear 95% of crosses.I'm thinking as they are at home they will try to put more men forward and maintain possession. This will mean our best chances will probably come from counter attacks. If our players perform like we all know they can, our quality should be enough to break them down.Believe me, their players are going to be up for this one. Can GJ motivate our players? We know he can, all we need to do is believe and get behind the team.Collis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6396379.stmRubbish article from the BBC about the match. Patronising opening, and apparently we'll take 25,000-30,000 to Cardiff if we win. Ward should know better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by saying what I said GB, I haven't set myself up for a fall, I said I HOPED we would beat them soundly, Just like they will say the same. I have supported the City for over 40 years, and I was brought up and live on the blue side of town, so 90% of my mates are sags, and I took enough stick off of them this weekend alone because they managed a 0-0 draw, and have had that all my life, so Yes I really want to beat them soundly tomorrow just for bragging rights alone, just as they will.

This time last season was our big comeback period. Dec 17th - March 10th. Away form as follows. P9 W3 D4 L2 F11 A7 PTS 13. The two teams we lost to were Col'U's and Barnsley, both promoted. During that period we beat S****horpe and Port Vale away. In the run home we won 3 and lost 2, one of those was to Southend who were promoted. Our current away form is indeed better than pre Christmas, better but not exceptional, and no better than our great revival form this time last year. We were also playing better football this time last year, as mentioned by many others. Of course both teams will be up for it, they are paid to be up for it. I do agree that in this type of game, tactics, selections and formation will be hugely importent in the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
