The other day Portsmouth had three games in hand on us, but the two they've played since have just pulled them down towards and now behind us. So much for that being a big problem.
Oozkan insisted that games in hand were going to stuff us but they've helped us move up the table..
Games in hand are just that, games in hand, it’s the points on the table that count
Millwall
Stoke
Burnley
Middlesbrough, and wets brom away, not what you would call banker games….and the mighty tigers on the last day……

City will have Alzate, Jacob, Burns, Longman and Puerta all available for the trip to Millwall. Abdus Omur sidelined with the knee issue which kept him out of the FA Cup game last weekend. Matty Jacob will be assessed before the game but has a good chance of being involved after his hip problem.
I have a feeling Selles would rather play a one legged Jacob than Giles
If we are trying to get rid of Giles, we won't want him injured. I assume the same applies to Longman.
Belloumi is absolutely class. Hopefully this injury doesn’t disrupt him too much, it’s all but ended the career of many a player before him. Some that were absolutely on the path to the top of the game. Tough one to recover completely from.
Millar I always thought people were getting too excited about. Decent player, great work ethic, but very frustrating.

Everyone always makes this comment about ACL injuries but I can't think of too many in the last 10-15 years whose careers have ended because of ACLs. Medical technology has come a long way.
The biggest concern with wingers especially is the lost of explosiveness when sprinting and twisting and turning whilst dribbling. Belloumi isn’t really an explosive winger but he’s a very good dribbler in tight spaces so if he becomes more wooden on the ball as a result, that’s unfortunate.
However, even saying that, I think hamstring tears are worse for really fast, explosive wingers. It really did affect Allahyar both mentally and physically. He never sprinted as quickly as he did before that Burnley game ever again.
Agree, hamstring injuries tend to be a lot worse as they end up being recurring and much weaker. ACLs so long as the recovery is carried out appropriately should in theory just about fully recover.
