    Tomorrow could be a watershed day if the following happens, Brum, Burton, Forest, Blackburn and Wigan all win and we lose which means the table will look like this:

    Birmingham 49
    Burton 47
    Notts Forest 45
    Blackburn 43
    Bristol City 41
    Wigan 37
    Rotherham 17

    With 5 games left it looks like we could be an extremely dangerous position and with 2 vital and difficult away games in the mix we could be done and dusted. A win tomorrow is critical in the overall scheme of things but also we need some help from others to stay above the drop zone. I hope things go our way this time but the next 2 matches will give us a sign and let's hope it a positive one. Dangerous times ahead and all and sundry need to pull their proverbial fingers out.

    On the other hand of Forest, Blackburn and Wigan lose and we win the whole world will get a little brighter for us all - come on City.

    I think Birmingham are maybe too far clear to be dragged into this now. For me it's perm any 1 from us, Forest, Blackburn, and Burton.

    Wigan are also gonners.

    It sure is squeaky bum time.

    One win less than us and Birmingham would be in it and could come down to last game of the season. In one way we are lucky in Florest v Blackburn and Birmingham v Burton games having a big impact on this season. But then again we could **** it all by ourselves

    They all lost in midweek - so what about if they all lose?

    We need to win our home games

    And we are doing that right now so well done the lads. If things stay the way they are in the scorelines we will have the magic 4 point cushion against joining the bottom 3 again, and that difference is vital because we have some tough games coming our way. I still think it will be touch and go over the next few weeks and we need to stay on top of our game (whatever that is?) and keep calm in our bid to stay in the Championship for next season. That's what we all want and if we do please don't offer up a repeat of this one because it's been a nightmare for most of us.

    P.S. We could even climb another place up the table if Burton lose to Villa because they're 1-1 at the moment.

    Can't you remember that most wanted him out last year?
    Funny how everyone seems to forget that it's like a merry go round with most come November / December time this site is full of get rid, sack him threads.
    Because of our good year in 2014/15 season having the normal sacking thread season, we've had a longer go at it this season.

    Remind me again how proud everyone was of Steve Cotterill in Jan last year? There is still a lot of the L1 winning side here at the moment, and the truth is most of them aren't good enough at this level.
    The club invested quite heavily (in numbers if not money) on youth in both the transfer windows this season, which I commented on in Aug/Sep as a policy that could return to haunt us if several senior players didn't perform, and sadly this has proven the case.

    [short] memory disfunction !


    Agree to a point but needed that little bit of time to get it together, there are some pretty "aged" players in some of the squads, and with age comes experience/savvy/ patience/confidence
