I think Blues are bang in trouble with their run in. I don’t think they will pick up more than 10 points.
We've got a more favourable run-in than many of our relegation candidates so I'm not losing faith yet. I expected a loss last night as Robins has always traditionally struggled against sides who play a more direct brand of football so whilst frustrating it hasn't worried me.
It's inevitable that we're going to have to rely on others to drop points. Birmingham have got a horrendous run coming up - they probably could have done with a win last night.
The same also applies to Huddersfield looking at their run in.
Hopefully Rotherham and Sheff W draw tonight and Wycombe lose as that's probably the best scenario we can hope for.
The next four are vital games and could potentially dictate our fate....so no pressure.
Personally, I can't see us reaching the 50 point mark. I suspect a more realistic estimation will be 47. Hopefully that'll be enough.
That means we have to pick up 11+.... where can you see wins coming from at present???I think Blues are bang in trouble with their run in. I don’t think they will pick up more than 10 points.

Wycombe, Rotherham, Huddersfield for a startThat means we have to pick up 11+.... where can you see wins coming from at present???
Is it not 2 from 5? Us, Huddersfield, Blues, Rotherham, Wednesday?Its 2 from 4 to go down... 50/50 chance.
Were doing nothing to help ourselves so it will come down to luck and whether the other teams are as bad as or worst than we are unfortunately.
I've stopped looking at the teams just above as were not picking up enough points to drag them into it currently.
As said above, Wednesday may see a bounce. Rotherham have 3 games in hand (granted they probably wont win them all!)
Blues are in the same boat as us
Going to be squeeky bum

maybe Huddersfield but like i say, were not catching anyone on our current form so not sure how many games it would take us to gain 3 points on them, maybe im being too pessimistic!Is it not 2 from 5? Us, Huddersfield, Blues, Rotherham, Wednesday?
3 points from those... same story of recent, and so many games - match our opposition, no cutting edge, gift goals....Wycombe, Rotherham, Huddersfield for a start

repeat for all games left.
This is where we are at...
Those games will be equally as difficult as last night. We were also physically inferior last night. That will be the same against Rotherham.
Sadly, looking at our form, confidence and quality, I fear we will struggle to win another game this season.
Why:Ridiculous post.
Why:
Confidence at the back is shot to pieces. It's likely that any line up will have to include Hyam or Rose, both of whom fall into the severely lacking confidence bracket and have been responsible for goals in recent games. We do not have a keeper that can inspire/give confidence to said back four either.
At the other end - repeat.... confidence gone -
Kelly in his interview last night said games are won and lost in both boxes. Exactly our problem!
I would LOVE to be proved wrong - I'd love it etc etc - (keegan style...)
But I'm also a realist.

Agree, we don't look out of place for very large parts of games. BUT- what we are doing to ourselves at the back and what we can't do at the other end is what sends teams down.How is your view one of a realist when it's completely irrational. We've just come out of the other end of arguably the most difficult pack of games in our season. We're still out of the relegation zone and showed that we don't look out of place against some of the divisions better teams.
What results did you expect in that run of fixtures?
Brush yourself off and look to Saturday. We're nowhere near out of this yet.
Said 3 points likely from Wycombe, Rotherham and Huddersfield3 more points isn't being a realist.

That is what is so so so frustrating... it's not like it is a one off either....
typical city luck, Rotherham and Wednesday will turn into prime Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively for the rest of the season
Derby (H)
Rotherham (A)
Luton (A)
Wycombe (H)
QPR (A)
Bristol City (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Barnsley (H)
Stoke (A)
Preston (H)
Huddersfield (A)
Millwall (H)
What do we all think?

We beat Brentford a few games ago and people are all of a sudden are writing us off now. Odd.
Every single game will be this....
We'll just about match them, play a bit of nice football at times, never really trouble them too much - then fuck up horrifically at the back for at least one goal.
Repeat for every game left this season....
We're done.....
Might scrape a couple of draws along the line....
Derby rested players last night,6 of them I think I read on here while we used 1 sub “tired legs” will be the excuse after,long balls hoping for luck off the 2nd ball or defensive error is the new tacticAbsolutely massive pressure on the games against teams around us. Starting on Saturday against Derby. Have to avoid defeat but we really need to start winning games to give ourselves more of a cushion.
We’ve seen that we can beat one of the best teams in the league, I want to see that confidence from the players and management for the rest of the month. When we’re too conservative we look very poor.
I had us staying up by 2 points with 47 but we were clear going into the final day.I've been on the Championship predictor thingy that lets you predict what the scores may be for the rest of the season. I have been pretty harsh on City - but reckon we'll make it by one point.
Hope I'm right and we can get back to watching them next season
Good chance they'll sack Karanka and get a bounce at some point. Leaving it late now.
Wednesday may see an effect now Moore has come in too.
