But I'm not talking about whole games. I am talking about us being up and at the races from the start. We don't have to play well the whole game, but the first 15-20 mins could be crucial. It sets down a marker and if you go a goal in front then that obviously gives you the upper hand and puts...

Don't understand your argument. When we have lost goals in the dying minutes they have pretty much been down to our own errors. It's not unlucky if you make a terrible pass that results in a goal. You have to admit that Leeds and Middlesborough most certainly didn't have their shooting boots...

Okay, so maybe it was 18 mins then. The point is if we don't tighten things up and try and dominate from the start then one of these games we will find ourselves two goals down. It's an accident waiting to happen. I could run across the motorway three times and not get hit. Does that mean I...

Well i dare say we have had our fair share of luck at home of late. Leeds were all over us the first 20 mins and only bad finishing prevented them being a goal or two up. Same with Middlesborough. they could have easily been 2-0 up against us. On Saturday again we were really sluggish out the...

But the away form is dire. If you had to lay your cards on the table then of course you would probably say we have more chance of winning 5 out of 6 home games than 1 single away match, so bad we are on our travels. What worried me against Forest was that Thorn seemed to think we did well in...

To be quite honest, I hadn't even noticed that he had put 'less than unlikely!':D

Just to remind people, our last away sequence has been 0-2 0-2 1-2 0-1 0-1 0-1 1-2 1-2 0-3 We hardly score a bleedin goal. Where are these away goals suddenly going to come from to enable us to win away games? Why am I so pessimistic? Because I watched City put on a pathetic display last...

Yeah, sorry didn't mean that. We were either 8 points or 7 points adrift until Pompey took their hit.

Where would you rather be Rich, Forest 3 points ahead with a game in hand, or us? Tis an obvious answer and that is why I would be feeling a lot more confident if I was Forest. Do also think we have very short memories here at the City. Do you remember just how awful we were in our last away...

Doesn't have to discredit people. They are doing a very good job of it themselves. :D

Then switch your phone off.

You mean definitely insane? :thinking about:

But we are only down to 3 because Pompey took the hit.

I would say Forest on the back of two wins, one being away at the team who were 3rd in the league who hadn't lost all year at home and Millwall on the back of a 3-1 win at Burnley must feel they have a resonable chance. Would say Doncaster must feel like they are going down and Bristol must be...

For what it's worth, since 2000 here are the number of points the team who finished 3rd from bottom went down on. 46 48 49 46 51 50 42 42 52 46 47 42

I am not a defeatist. i am a realist. Why do fans suddenly think we can win away games when we have failed to do so all season and have now lost 9 on the trot? This is what confuses me. Is it just Sky Blue tinted glasses?

But all you can do is look at history. Do we just ignore that? I think 42 is the lowest total any team in 3rd place has gone down with. We can ignore it all we like, but it will surely be more than 40 points to survive.

Freddy is talented too. Maybe we should give him another 4 year contract.

2 more games will have gone and we have Cardiff away, Hull away, Burnley away and Southampton away.

I think the next 2 games could be key. If we lose at Leshtur and at home against a very good Palace side (let us not forget), then though still mathematically possible, you would have to say that, that would be just about it for us. And understand your point, Rich, but the fact is we have the...
