Made comments at start of season that 12 games could be a better yardstick to guage "progress" Well we now get to final 12 games ....... tomorrow "our gifted into top 6 position" comes under fire..... [ having played 1 more than those around us ] 3 teams can solidate around us BLACKBURN who are away to Swansea W B A who are home to Oxford COVENTRY who are home to P N E Watford home to Luton Norwich home to Stoke Q P R away to Portsmouth ... can close to within 2 points COVENTRY been on a run more recently d D L W W W W L W W.. GD is + 3 BLACKBURN like winning .. all or nothing D L W L L L W L W W .. GD is + 8 W B A Least consistent, have drawn 15 D W D D L W L W L D GD .. + 11 Watford .. L L D W L L L D L W .. Norwich D W W L L W W D L D .. Q P R D W W W W L L W L W OF COURSE CITY OVER LAST 10 GAMES .................. D W L D W D L W D W IN RED CONCEEDED IN LAST 3 MINS so pretty average! but losing 2 of the next 12 would be amazingly close to top 6
well next 2 games see BBurn v Norwich Millwall v CITY Watford v Millwall 4 games down the road CITY v Norwich Norwich v Sheff W SO City have 3 monster games above plus SHEFF UTD away previous loss was the game ago [ W L W W W W ? ] .... and 1 game @ home versus a nemesis v Hull 9 points wold show we mean business 7 points keep us in touch 6 or less very dependant on other teams failing!
If Bristol City had earned about 30% of the points that they gave away in the last 15 minutes we wouldn't have to travel the calculation road because we would probably have sewn up a playoff spot already, or close at least. I know you could possibly say that about other teams but I don't think there are any Championship teams that are anywhere close to City's record in the collapse department. The biggest issue on that particular front is that we have been doing it since Noah was a lad and it doesn't appear that we have anyone on board who can fix the leak. Management decisions on many matters are also a huge problem and unless the top brass start getting it right our future looks bleak or at least the same old same old boring apathetic football.
Well there are currently 8 teams within 6 points [ or less ] of top 6 and 4 more within 8 -11 points of .. Middsbro a game in hand! so dont think City are at all alone in the "dropped points cage" .... we still have to play the top 4 so 4 points plus from 12 would help the cause!
over the past 2 /3 seasons Middsbro have had periods of L L L L L L but in first 20 games then a couple periods of W W W W W .... .. and finished near top this season they have started better but now going through a dodgy patch DONT write them off for 6th! team in 5th could be anyone of 5 ......
I didn’t even see those scores Good of the BBC to put EFL results below women’s international games They are an absolute disgrace
AFTER GAME 38 Middsbro are will be looking to be in 5th position with just 1 position 6th, up for grabs in the last 12 games!!!
WELL best they can do before the break is 1 point behind us ................best we can hope for is 5th if WBA lose and COVENTRY come out with a point or lose. TEAMS IN 8TH/9TH/10TH/11TH are all more than just a win behind us ............. what happens on 29th MARCH .............. we play Burnley ............ ??????????????????
Sheff u v Coventry Burnley v City Norwich v W B A Middsbro v Oxford Cardiff v Sheff W Portsmouth v Blackburn Watford v Plymouth Millwall v Stoke any team below Millwall need a miracle !!!!!
next 2 games for a shake up .......... Sheff u v Coventry .......... Coventry v Burnley Burnley v City.............. and ............ CITY v WATFORD Norwich v W B A ...... and ........... W B A v SUNDERLAND Middsbro v Oxford win next ... CITY lose change places if City draw stay above Middsbro Portsmouth v Blackburn ..... Blackburn v Middsbro ............both these teams need at least Watford v Plymouth ............... CITY v WATFORD ....................... 2 wins with CITY & W B A losing Cardiff v Sheff W ........... Sheff W v Hull Millwall v Stoke ................ Millwall v Portsmouth TARGET HAS TO BE 6TH PLACE ............ BASED ON 2 WINS versus 2 LOSSES 6 points difference. Currently 6th is 57 points so .... W B A and CITY need to lose 2 games .......... SHEFF W and MILLWALL need to win 2 games = = = = equal on points teams below MILLWALL NOW NEED MIRACLES ... LIKE 7 / 8 STRAIGHT WINS
now at THE HALF POINT of this thread City = W A ... D H ... D A ... W H ... L A ... WH === 11 POINTS FROM 18 pts ... 1.84 average [ equivalent to 84 points on season average ] the 7 teams in contention then were ... W B A ............ 51 ... ... D W D D L L ............. 6pts BBurn ............ 51 ... ... D L L L L L .............. 1 pt Coventry ....... 50 .. ... W W L W L L ............ 9 pts City ................ 49 ... ... W D D W L W ........... 11 pts Watford ......... 48 ... ... D L W L D L ........... 5 pts Middsbro ....... 47 ... ... W L W D W W ......... 13 pts Norwich ........ 47 ... ... D D L L W L ............ 5 pts Millwall on 54 have gained 9 pts after losing to City L W L W L W above Norwich Watford & BBurn..... ANOTHER 11 POINTS might just do it!. COME ON YOU REDzzzzzzzzzzzz
