Yeah, same with meI'm not nervous at all
Which is kinda making me nervous
A draw not end of world so maybe that's why I'm not worried
We've only ever beat Preston 5 times in the league. 2 of them wins have been in the last 2 seasons. Under Lampard we have broken a few records. This would be yet another one.Yeah, same with me
I see that a draw would give us one more point towards our objective.
Whatever it takes to get there and as we have never won 7 games in a row, that plays on your mind too.
We won't just keep on winning. We will drop points at some point. Lampard knows that himself.
I could see Southampton winning this one, so a draw would be just fine.
Only needs a deflection, dodgy penalty, defensive mistake or mix up.
It's acan often be such small margins
Love itI think we need 4 from these two games before the break. 3pts today would be just the job. Scienza's out hopefully.
What is it with you? On Wednesday you were nervous today the same.Just sit down take a chill pill, go on "Championship table fishy"sit and look at our home record 14 3 1 for half an hour.Then go and change your sheets you'll feel much betterYeah, same with me

Often misunderstood. It is better applied to stable means (toss of a coin, roll of a dice) rather than probability of winning football matches which is affected by which players play etc.
It simply states that if you have out/underperformed the mean in the short term, over time your short term mean will move back to the long term mean.
It does not say that the previous short terms sequence of events affects the next event
In City’s case: if we assume our (ahem) long-term mean wins is 6 out of 10 (or 0.6, ie close to this season), but short term mean is 6 out of 6, then although the chance of us winning the next game is unchanged (6/10), our average will move back to the mean:
Short term run: 6 games, 6 wins: Short team mean is 1
Next 10 games, 6 wins (ie no change to probability of winning any single game), total run is now 12 wins out of 16 games: Short term mean is now down to 0.73 ie it has reverted to mean despite no change in the probability of us winning any single game.
The belief that the short term run of events affects the probability of the next event is called Gambler’s Fallacy and has lost a lot of people a lot of money!!!
It absolutely is true. For footballing not statistical reasons though tbf. Players become over confident, opposition sets up more defensively.
Also if you think our streak matters then so does their unbeaten streak.
And promotion in the bag by Easter Monday...We keep needing 4 points from the next 2 games yet we keep winning
Very unlikely. More likely the Sheffield or Blackburn gamesAnd promotion in the bag by Easter Monday...
The statement was that we keep winning. 85pts will probably secure a top 2 spot now, which I think we could manage over the holidays "pretty easily"Very unlikely. More likely the Sheffield or Blackburn games
Definitely.We've only ever beat Preston 5 times in the league. 2 of them wins have been in the last 2 seasons. Under Lampard we have broken a few records. This would be yet another one.
All we have to do is continue with our home form. They will be more worried about playing us than we are them.
Feel just fine and am relaxed about today's game too.What is it with you? On Wednesday you were nervous today the same.Just sit down take a chill pill, go on "Championship table fishy"sit and look at our home record 14 3 1 for half an hour.Then go and change your sheets you'll feel much better
Scienza out apparently
I think he’d do well in the prem, just on a side note
You have just described Coventry win over PrestonYeah, same with me

Yes was the only one causing us problems in that previous game before the redHope so, their best player by a mile
They have Norwich at home on Wednesday so maybe resting him, they might be writing this game off and thinking of the games after this oneHope so, their best player by a mile

10 draws would likely see us promoted!Yeah, same with me

There not writing a game off with 9 games left and 6 points adrift of the play offsThey have Norwich at home on Wednesday so maybe resting him, they might be writing this game off and thinking of the games after this one
Shame there's only 9 games though. That strategy is doomed from the off10 draws would likely see us promoted!
I think it’s called creative writingSurprised Soton have got time for this game considering the amount of time they spend writing evidence reports
I thought Preston was more of a banana skin.You have just described Coventry win over Preston
We did but we have changed our way of playing a little bit to leave ourselves less vulnerableWe dominated at their place until we went down to 10 men.
We look much more solid these days don't we.We did but we have changed our way of playing a little bit to leave ourselves less vulnerable
Ilthink wright definitely comes back inExpect Eccles and Wright to come in for BTA and Simms.
