Port Said Red Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 we're in creditGJ is right to point out how consistent we have been 1st 10 = 17pts2nd 10 = 17ptsSo far we have 17 from the last 9, any points tomorrow would not only show consistency but a steady improvement. When you consider the poor November results it's really amazing how we are still running at the level he wants. It just goes to show how important it is to view the season as a whole rather than, short good or bad runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I hate to say it but, 2 wins from 9 away is shocking. Everytime we play i find myself thinking i wonder if we're losing yet, then checking the scores to see we are.Still cant score? What is wrong, a team that was 2nd in teh table should not be playing this badly away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezgimed Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 If we start playing our football again, I think the next few games are winnable.Wednesday at home, looking at their forum it sounds like they're in real dire straights.S****horpe away might have to look for a clean sheet and a draw, Colchester maybe the same but we should be looking to win with some flair football again.

Ixion Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 All the games left will test the character of the team even more than the season so far, and in order to maintain this consistency we are no doubt going to have to dig really deep to eke out results – as we have done already, but more so now perhaps because teams will be gunning for us. The results we’ve been reeling off, and it’s been going like a metronome now since the start of the season – indicate that they have not been flukes. The away games against teams in the top half of the table are where we have been weakest so far and it will prove a real test to keep up the momentum against them, in form teams like Stoke or Plymouth and the Hull game this Saturday. There simply aren’t an easy games in this division.As for attaining 20 points from the 4th block of ten games, that would make it extremely difficult indeed for any team behind us (including Watford) to catch us.Let’s get the Hull game out of the way first then reassess where we, and everyone else are then.

Ixion Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Only Watford have spent more time in the top 6 than us this season.And Stelling sounded surprised when we 'went up' to 2nd last week...And surely that’s testament to this current side that has developed an immense character under GJ as shown by their ability to snatch points in the dying seconds of games and the many battling performances both home and away. What GJ has done is prepare his sides well enough for them not to succumb, and we have become a difficult team to beat.No matter how long I’ve watched City over the years I keep looking for THAT defining moment in the season, in every season, that indicates to me whether we are good enough to mount a challenge or achieve promotion or not. Has there been a defining performance yet? The last minute equaliser at home to Palace perhaps or the win at Watford , maybe the 2-0 reverse from the defeat by Ipswich or the last minute winner against Barnsley?Guarding against complacency though is going to be one of the hardest tasks the team will have over the next 11 games that remain. And no matter what happens now this has been a tremendous season and one every City fan can be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Lad Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 What happoned today was special but it makes you wonder what it will be like should we lead vs Watford on the night of Tuesday 11th March under the lights. It could be once in a decade stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be once in a decade stuff.I can't wait!!Hopefully the team will still be on form after two games away. A win on either Tuesday or Saturday will make that night even more electric.

Geoff65 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 In 18 matches at home at half time we were losing once by full time we have secured 11 wins 5 draws and only 2 losses - only Ipswich has a better record than us and WBA have the same but with a much bigger goal difference.In 17 matches away at half time we were winning only twice and drawing 11 times - from 17 away matches we have won 7 and drawn 5. Only Burnley and Watford have better away records over 17 matches - Palace and Charlton have played 1 away game more than us and lead us in the away stats by 1 draw.After Tuesday's match will we be talking about our last block of ten and the number of points we need?
