You can easily spot them as well, lack of movement in the final third and the inability to score a goal.
Looks like 3 from 5 to go down: City 45 (-10): Preston (H) Derby(H) Portsmouth (A) Derby 43 (-11): WBA (A), City (A) Stoke (H) Luton 43 (-25): Bristol City (H) Coventry (H) WBA (A) Cardiff 42 (-23): Oxford (H) WBA (H) Norwich (A) Plymouth 40 (-39): Coventry (H) Preston (A) Leeds (H) I think 4 points probably needed
From those Monday fixtures, I can see Derby losing at WBA, Brizzle beating Luton, Oxford drawing with Cardiff and Plymouth losing to Cov, while we pick up a crap 0-0 point. Basically, we need to beat Derby. If we win on Monday, we can afford to draw next week as long as we get something at Portsmouth. If we lose on Monday, and don't get a win on Saturday, we're pretty much ****ed. In more ways than one.
The permutations are perplexing, especially when no one team stands out. Just keep reminding myself that we don't have to outrun the bear, just the slowest ones around us.
I think the boat has sailed for WBA which makes that game a little more difficult. Bristol City have to keep winning, Cardiff played ok tonight but left a lot on the park.
Yes the next two games are pivotal. Four points seals it, three is as good as there if it’s Derby we beat.
Probably true re. WBA ...but.....they'll have a realistic expectation of getting all 9 points from their last 3 games, so possibly not feeling out of it yet.Lets hope they do!!
Dare I say it, I think we might get a point on Monday but given what I saw from Luton, they've got a chance against Bristol. Leeds, Sheff U and Burnley - they're the games when most teams will batten down the hatches. Every other game, is up for contention - same division, same playing field, etc, etc. I'm not sure what the issue is exactly, but we play like we start with ten men, or that we're up against some elite team.
