    Our players are scared of space...

    Good examples. Both players like to give the ball and then move into space to get the return ball.

    Stats to back up Otis

    The bookies make millions from us year on year on year .... Why? Because they look at the constants, the stats and the most probable scenarios. That sort of throws your comment back in your face a bit. The bookies aren't very often wrong are they. Otherwise they would be out of business...

    Our players are scared of space...

    I and a few others talked of this before Christmas. We pretty much always pass the ball to feet, especially in the midfield area. This makes us predictable and much easier to close down. Said it was a big problem then and was hoping Thorn would address it. Haven't said anything since mind as...

    He keeps doing this does Torchy. :facepalm: All fans want to be optimistic surely don't they?

    Stats to back up Otis

    Why is statistical 'always worthless?' Gone back over 30 years now and only once has a team stayed up on 40 points. a couple of times 43 has been required, but it is usally 46-50 pts required. Don't see how that is worthless. That is very relevant as to how many points are likely to be...

    We need a deflected shot off the refs left buttock. That happens and then I will readily sign up to the great Sky Blue survival mission.

    They can indeed. Whatever happens we know that after only winning 7 games in 35, we have now got to go out and win 4 or 5 out of just 11. If we had just got a few points on the road I would have said it was doable.

    We also have more away games left now than home games. You have to factor that in too.

    Oh dear. Doesn't that Donny stat suggest they may well finish above us as they have 2 games in hand?

    i'm a better fan than you!

    It's not predicting the future. It is looking at the constants. The constant factors are that we have not won away all season long. We have lost 10 in a row away and not scored at all in our last 3 away games and have only scored 7 away goals all season. Being a realist is coming to the...

    Stats to back up Otis

    As you are good at conjuring up stats for me, can you work out how much happier I would be if I hadn't have met my wife? It was 2002. We met on a train travelling at 80 mph and I wore a smoking jacket and it was a Tuesday. It took 3 hours to get there but we didn't start the journey until 7...

    i'm a better fan than you!

    Yes, of course they are, but you are misisng the point of people's comments. We play well and win and it's usually all plaudits. We don't play too well, but deserve to win, then yes we have the points on the board, but the question then is of course, if we play like that every week will we...

    What the hell was going on with that penalty?

    Not so vehemently. Not with that much passion and gusto when it was that clear cut. It was such a clear cut pen there was nothing to argue about. Wasn't even close to being debatable. Never seen City players protest so much over a decision that was so right.

    i'm a better fan than you!

    Doesn't happen after every win. It is usually invariably been that although we have deserved to win we haven't particularly played well. Would you want people to not mention the fact that Middlesborough had a player sent off then? Just pretend it never happened perhaps. :thinking about:

    What the hell was going on with that penalty?

    He looked unfit. Think it was all to do with their wingers. Think AT thought Clarke could do a better job on Saha than Christie and that Chrisite couldn't play at left back and therefore Cranie had to move over to the left back slot, which then meant there was a vacant berth in the centre.

    i'm a better fan than you!

    I see nothing wrong whatsoever with saying "We beat Leeds but their fans said it was by far and away their worst performance of the seaosn." What on earth is wrong with that? :thinking about:

    Ashamed !!!!!!!!!

    You just don't get it, Torchy. It is not a case of giving up. No-one has given up. It's just an acceptance. Doesn't stop people like me going up every week and continuing to support the team. It is not giving up. I am just a fan, not a City player, not a CCFC manger and not an employee of...

    Wolves will always be 4th division to me.

    Be the same for us. Well almost. Add a 1 on the front and make that 120 years.
