    Looks like the panic stations have opened with some of our supporters already!! Bradford beat Chelsea in the cup, sack Mourhino!!
    This time last year I would have snapped an arm off for our current position.......not sure anyone would have predicted we would be topping the league! Get a bloody grip guys!

    I like the faith lads but if we fail to show up in the first half of games there's a strong chance we will lose the match. The playoffs should not be an option because we have enough talent to win an auto spot but they need to show more commitment to that goal - end of.

    Sorry Guys - Fielding is a disaster waiting to happen.
    Yesterday isn't the first and we all know it won't be the last.

    Donny will be interesting.
    Come on City, get back on track.

    There will be ups and downs on this journey

    It's fine to have doubts on these forums etc - but at EVERY game we stay with our lads - never have I been prouder of a City team - we stick together when the going gets tough and we will be ok

    COYR!

    Having a run of away games, and Colchester on paper being one of the easiest and to get trounced by them is a worry. Because of Tuesday-Saturday for the next 1,000 years we might struggle.

    teamwork = everyone pulls together for the common cause, happens in football except the manager picks the team not the team.
    Should he get it wrong the team have an uphill battle to sort it out... I'm with the team

    Don't understand the last sentence, sorry mate.

    Me I'm looking at it, if we balls it up. Then I'm glad because we would not have been good enough up in the championship to stay there. But I don't think we will balls it up, don't know if we will be champions but I do think it's auto's this year for us.
    The last five years have been awful looking at the tables this time of year and thinking, have we enough games left for survival. This year we want all the games to rush by.

    Everything that RedorDead says is what I think. No need to type it all again. Well said mate.

    Do you not think that it was a foul on our brilliant and faultless keeper, Frankie Fielding, which resulted in Colchester's first goal?
    Now be honest with yourself and us!

    Doncaster away is now a big deal

    Several of us have expressed concerns over Mr Fielding. Despite my serious reservations, overall I'm impressed by the way he's acquitted himself so far this season, and his mistakes have been few and far between, BUT we need cover and competition for places....if we go up

    Nuff said

    'Now be honest with yourself and us!'

    Definitely no foul.

    Don't take my word - Look at our defenders reaction.

    Now be honest with yourself and us!

    "All of our remaining games are big now. There were some surprising results at the weekend so it was a missed opportunity for us not to have won at the weekend.
    Cloughie regrets their lucky draw, as we and Swindlers lost!
    they still need us to lose 4 and draw 1 whilst they win a straight 5 !

    I can only speak for myself and I'm not panicking - nor am I turning on Cotts.

    I just don't like conceding 6 goals in a week - 3 of them in the first 25 minutes of a game against a side in the relegation zone.

    We absolutely MUST bounce back from this quickly.

    absolutely took it one stage further its 7 in 4 games more than a quarter of all goals conceded to date...one ponders the question..is our defence / midfield TIRED!

    A managers job is not to panick
    A managers job is not to get complacent
    A managers job is to be inspirational
    A managers job is to be innovative.... I think he has got one right

    Totally agree with BCFC, no need to panic, all the top teams have had a little wobble this past month. The 6 goals in 2 games is unlike us though (this season anyway...) especially as we went from Boxing day to Feb 10 without conceding a League goal

    It will depend on other results...if City, PNE, Swindon and Sheff Utd all lose then we've lost little

    Well not quite true, tonight is our catch up game, its almost the "all teams are equal" the top 3 and Donny will have played 32 and PNE Sheff and Bradford 31
    the 2 results that matter are Sheff and Swindlers.... ( Rochdale pld 29 for 41 pts )
    when all teams had played 30 this is how the table would have looked...

    CITY........ ........ 30 ........ 19 ........ 7 .......... 4 ......... 32 ........ 32 ...... 64
    SWINDON ..... 30 ......... 17 ........ 6 .......... 7 ......... 29 ........ 28 ...... 57
    MKDONS.. ..... 30 ......... 16 ........ 8 .......... 6 ......... 25 ........ 31 ...... 56
    PNE......... ........ 30 ......... 16 ........ 8 .......... 6 ......... 22 ........ 34 ...... 55
    SHEFF UTD. ... 30 ........ 14 ........ 7 .......... 9 ......... 28 ........ 21 ...... 49
    BRADFORD .... 30 ........ 12 ........ 9 .......... 9 ......... 26 ........ 19 ....... 45
    DONCASTER ... 30 ........ 12 ........ 9 .......... 9 ......... 19 ........ 26 ...... 45
