Portishead Puffin Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I usually avoid speculating on future results and the "must win" "biggest game of the season" type posts, but I do think we have reached the part of the season where our destiny is decided.Although there are some different scenarios that have less effect there are two that can make or break us.Dream scenario: -24th March. A win for City against Donny and anything less than a win for Forest31st March. City beat Forest. This would make us all but up, in my opinion.Nightmare scenario: -24th March. City slip at Donny, Forest get three points from the City Old Boys31st March. Forest turn us over at the gate (Agogo scoring the winner for added effect!) Not only would we have lost our advantage but the knock to the teams confidence could be severe enough to affect the rest of the season and subsequent play off games.Like I said anything between those two scenarios, (three draws for example) would keep everyone in the hunt, but by 31st March this forum could make interesting reading one way or the other......

I know I have.Its natural that we should all be fretting about what might hapen.So near and yet so far..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 If City win on Sat...and Forest draw/lose..Then we beat Forest...That may well be best moment of supporting BCFC since 1-0 V Plymouth/QPR in 03/04.Could well be the best day of my year!

22A Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Of course if the dreamscape should occur, next season could see a real congruity. City travel to Colchester in the Championship whilst Forest play Leeds in a League 1 match.Expanding the dreamscape; City up auto, Yeovil up through play offs and Chetenham stay up.

We lost out to free-kick pumped into the six yard box which wasn't cleared, a habit that's been mostly erased by consistent defending and a bloody gert centre-back!

So pathetic at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so angry after that match. Luckily this team is made of stronger stuff now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 If we lose the next two games at worst we'll be 2 points behind 2nd place with 6 games left. Life goes on, and within one weekend we could turn that around.Hopefully the players will be able to keep a kind of perspective on the situation that I know for certain the majority of fans won't.
