    Allowing the opposition to walk the ball in to redress the balance

    Don't think it was deliberate, but I don't see the keeper letting the ball into the net either. Don't see how anyone can argue that isn't a legitimate goal. I wouldn't be expecting City to 'let' the opposition score at the other end to even things out of that was us.

    Might well help. When we have big City crowds we are all too often nervy and fluff our lines. Having a big away following may well stir the City fans into action and the players won't have as much pressure on them as they would with a big home following.

    I still think you have a reasonable chance of automatic promotion, but think you may not catch Burton. They have been wobbling, but are still top and 9 points clear of 3rd place. That's some to catch up. Burton's next 4 games. Sat 19 Mar 2016 - League One Port Vale v Burton 15:00...

    We have: Swindon Colchester Millwall Bradford Sheff Utd. Some tough games there, but if we have any aspirations we need to be looking to beat the likes of Bradford and Millwall anyway.

    Yep. I think we need to win, but also win well, rather than scrape a result. A win combined with a good performance would do wonders to team spirit and belief.

    TM himself though has said we need 6 wins. Basing this on that and as I say, it's only a guide. :)

    Allowing the opposition to walk the ball in to redress the balance

    Well that's what the team who scored are arguing, that he deliberatly let the ball in the net. Why would he do that? Manager Danny Cowley called this goal “the worst thing he had seen on a football field”. The controversial goal meant his Braintree team were pegged back to draw 1-1 at...

    After 36 games Bournemouth were 7th on 58 points. That means they got 25 points from their last 10 games. That's 8 wins and a draw.

    Allowing the opposition to walk the ball in to redress the balance

    Football League: Four things you may have missed, plus some non-league drama - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35678750 The story here is that play stopped for an injury to an opposition player and play was stopped. When play restarted the other team's player went to kick the ball back to...

    If we are dominated by Swindon I think that will prove we are just a mediocre midtable side. Been happening far too often lately. If we can win and put in a strong performance to boot, then just maybe we are heading back in the right direction once more.

    Exactly. What we need to do is keep on winning. Win 3 or 4 in a row and maybe we will be back in with a good shout, but if we win one, lose one we are going absolutely nowhere. Next week we have to build on this and it will give us an insight perhaps to just how good we now are.

    I think you mean regain rather than retain.:) I think Barnsley will get something at Fleetwood and I wouldn't be surprised if Bradford got something at Wigan. I think we will still be outside the top 6 cone Saturday.

    15 seconds.

    End of the season it will just say city win, 3 points though.

    Okay, just as a guide, here is how the 6th place panned out, with 36 games played as the starting point. We are obivously on 36 games now. Last season. After 36 games. 1 Bristol City 37 80 2 Preston North End 35 69 3...

    It's official , the fans have it in for Jacob Murphy

    Switzerland because my trains aall run on time, or because my cheese has holes in? Or maybe because I like to yodel in the bathroom? My own thoughts? Well, Murphy is a confidence player and it's clear he has been low on confidence. He has therefore been out of form. When he is on form he is a...

    Yes, we can. TM said so yesterday. I would be more inclined to play Stephens at left back and move Ricketts to the centre. That will then allow Lorentzson to come in. Stephens has played left back before.
