TRANSFER WINDOW … I think we have enough in the squad not to need more than 1 player [ providing injuries do not impede us from having a full Squad ] Should Mariappa not stay a utility mid fielder
WORST SCENARIO's tonight is City could go 6th! top 3 could be last seasons relegated Prem teams ! city are the highest placed not "been in the prem" club! Brentford & Millwall follow ….

mid week …. winning at home is more important! of the top 8 again 7 are at home [ Bournemouth away ] 4 play v bottom 12 … Norwich Reading Watford & Brentford 3 play against others in top 12 … City v Blackburn, Stoke v Cardiff, Swansea v Bournemouth Norwich and Reading potentially can make space!
At HOME we will play [* denoted current top 12 after 12 games] Birmingham LOST 16 PTS MORE NEEDED Blackburn* WON 13 pts MORE NEEDED Millwall * Wycombe Away we will play Reading …………… lost Q P R ………………. won 16 more needed! Rotherham P N E Luton Brentford* [is game 23] mid week …. winning at home is more important! of the top 8 again 7 are at home [ Bournemouth away ] 4 play v bottom 12 … Norwich Reading Watford & Brentford 3 play against others in top 12 … City v Blackburn, Stoke v Cardiff, Swansea v Bournemouth Norwich and Reading potentially can make space! …. WELL Norwich now 4 pts clear of 3rd
Saturday NOT LOSING AWAY IS IMPORTANT! OF THE TOP 8 6 play AWAY + [AFC Bourne: v Huddersfield] 4 Play teams below 12th Swansea play Cardiff & Norwich v Blackburn CARDIFF could move up to 7th and BLACKBURN 8th with the right results ….for us!
what a shi** disaster Sat was for us … why are we so c*** have on paper some reasonable players. I was 100% behind us continuing the good work and promoting up the ladder when the head coach left [ for whatever reason]. And whilst present results see us at the top half of the table we are worse off than this time last year! SWANSEA, WATFORD, NORWICH, BRENTFORD all Won STOKE Drew CITY LOST & Bournemouth won at home. Cardiff were home to Swansea and LOST [ 10 men ] a seriously good opportunity to have cemented top 6 third on points! W A S T E D ….. MIDWEEK …………… CITY just top 8 are at home, one of 4 along with AFC BOURNE both PLAYING TEAMS OUTSIDE OF TOP HALF …. WATFORD v Brentford & READING v Norwich. POINTS SHARING? Away STOKE v QPR TEAMS 9 -12 Middsbro v Luton & Cardiff and Blackburn at home …, …. Barnsley [13TH ] now 12th on points play v PNE
We will not get the 19 points hoped for we need 13 from just 9 pts remaining BUT THEY ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT 9 pts ….
