Robbored Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 With 24 points available from the remaining 8 games City need another twelve points to almost guarantee an automatic spot.Currently City have 71 and another 12 with give a healthy 83. That means that City could 'afford' to drop another 12 points or in other words lose another 4 games.So....Wins against Forest,Swansea,Yeovil and Rotherham at AG and draw the away games will give City 87 points.See? Its easy........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 City are more likely to win their away games than their home ones at the moment. I would take 4 points from the Forest and Yeovil games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_for_life Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 IF we beat Forest, I'll be putting numbers to those chickens..IF we draw, I'll be happy but no chicken counting.IF we lose, I'll be bereft and selling the chickens.How much do you want for the chickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_man_terry Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 think 5 wins from 8 would make sure that we are up.think wins at Doncaster & Gillingham are very possible and last day if needed against Rotherham I fancy us to win, which means we need to find 2 wins fromCarlise & Millwal away.......Millwall will be tough, and really don't fancy Carlise at all, not many teams do well up there, but will be delighted with 2 points from those gameswhich leavesForest, Swansea & YeovilForest - as long as we have beaten Donny, a draw will be a bloody good result as it keeps them away from us, tough game against Swansea which I really can't predict, though I fully believe we will take Yeovil apart at home.fancy us to get 16 points in total from those games. 87 points should be enough to secure 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_for_life Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 A 1-1 draw would be acceptable.I'd take a draw if you were to get beaten or draw at Donny with us beating Cheltenham. If both of us win then we have to win at Ashton Gate. Looking at the stats you haven't beaten us since 1974 and our last five at AG is WWDWD. The omens are good .

Donny have different focus at the moment with Cardiff in a couple of weeks. Whatever happens over the next few weeks its going to be tight all the way till May.

Robbored Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I fancy a draw at Donny next week and Forest should beat Cheltenham - but then so should have City.That means there will be just two points between City and Forest when they come to AG on the 31st.What a crucial game that will be. It will be a question of who holds their nerve best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Do you think you will beat Donny? They'll be desperate for a win to boost their play off hopes. Same as Cheltenham will be desperate when they come to us.We really have nothing to lose at Donny even a loss can be accepted if you don't beat Chelt.Then All down to the game at our place could go either way lose and its play offs for you, we lose and its not over.I will be surprised if we lose at Donny, who knows could be 7points clear by the time we meet or just one; Still waiting for our 2 main men to return Brooker and Murray but we are managing alright without them so far.Any justice and us you and Scunny will go up but who knows.

Dear Mr Robbored, given all the things that GJ (and by implication what the players) have said can you please give us a profile of the ideal conditions of support and encouragement from the fans that would help us get maximum points at home. In other words where does our home advantage lie?UP THE CITY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two flaws with that argument.1.83 won't be enough and I reckon second spot, this term will be a minimum of 84, but more likely 85, unless one of the top three blows up.2.We're more likely to win the four away games than the four home games.Apart from that it's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leadman Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 i should imagine that gj will be happy with a point if were still at least 4 ahead, we will be down to 5 games left and lets face it, we would of took that at the start of the season, if brooker can be available for the remaining games we should go up.

Jamie Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yep, I think that 4 Wins and 1 Draw will be enough as long as we don't lose to Forest meaning we will have 84 Pts, that leaves 3 other games, and I'm hoping that we can get more than 84 Pts and don't have to wait to the final day of the season, so we can party at home with out having to worry!

We don't have one.What is it?Getting people together who want to create an atmosphere and get behind the team is a great start.What can you do to help this situation come about?

REDOXO Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 For the golden oldies among us I remember Forest coming to us when they won the league in 78 they won 3-1 and I believe Archie Gemill got at least one...Please correct me any one...I was at Forest for the 82 (I think) FA cup tie:We were hurtling down the league but played out of our skins Mabbutt put us a goal up but a bent ref gave them an appalling pen with 7 mins left and Wallace scored one of his few to beat us89 League Cup Semi-Final... enough saidEarly 90s lost 5th rnd FA cup tie lost 4-1 in Nottingham OG by And Lew I think....My Point...We OWE Them them big time...It is our turn to stuff it right up them...So lets just go do it...Positive thoughts boys please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the draw is at home to Forest they'd have to win all their other games bar one, hardly likely is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
