Undoubtedly this weekend has been a massive kick in the balls.

The way I calculate it we need a win at Burnley to stand any chance of survival now.

However, they're a mid-table team playing for nothing, we were unlucky on saturday and looked exhausted on monday. Given a week off and our recent upturn in form, we can certainly win.

Bristol's next two games look tough, conpared to ours. We've been here before, and let down before, but Saturday is a must win. Overalll though if you look at our position at xmas,we'd have all taken our current position come April.

We beat Burnley and we've got two winnable home games.

The great escape is still on.

We are Coventry City, snatching mediocrity out of the jaws of disaster is what we do. Admittedly we could have made it easier, but that'd be dull.

If we get behind the team, survival is still on!

Although I tend to agree with you, if we can beat Burnley then unfortunately so can Bristol!

Yes they can, but they've got brum and west ham to worry about first. One or two games at a time, in our position that's all we can focus on.

Looking at the fixtures on the final day, i'm pretty sure we need to beat Burnley or its curtains.

But we can do it.

Replying to my own thread, which is sad, but sums up the state of our affairs.

Come on, I can't be the only delusional fuck that thinks we can do it!

That was our attitude 10 years ago and we' yet to come back.

We're better at surviving than we are at being a phoenix.

I started this thread to improve my mood, its sinking rapidly.

I know we're cov supporters, but I'm sure we give our best when he shit's about to (already) hit the fan!

I can see Bristol beating West Ham... they are dodgy at the moment.

9 points is what we need.

Let's see how the players react on Sat.

As those who assumed we would beat Peterborough were wrong, so those who assume Bristol will beat Barnsley or Burnley may be wrong.

I felt bad at the end of the Peterboro game, stunned that we had let it slip so near the end. But that was nothing compared to Monday - the first half went like a dream, both on the pitch and being part of the great SBA support, but as soon as they caught us cold after the break, it was only heading for defeat. It is a long long time since I felt so dejected about a defeat as on Saturday - we just had nothing left to offer and half the team looked to be carrying injuries.

One day on, I'm beginning to think that it is not all over and we can still escape, but we cannot afford to lose any more "must not lose" matches - and the next 3 fall into that category.

All we can do is carry on hoping and supporting, that is what makes us City fans.

Realistically, we need 7 points from the next 9, if not 9, I've just got a sneaking feeling we might pull it off.

Obviously its out of our hands now, but BC's next two are Brum and West Ham. 7 points from the next 3 games'll give us a fighting chance and hopefully saints'll be promoted by then.

In the interests of full disclosure, i should state, southampton are my 2nd team. I spent years watching them get beat, the way I see it they owe me a favour!

The truth is that we are at a point in the season where unexpected results seem to be flying up from all over the place. We were absolutely terrible yesterday and will struggle to amass anything playing like that-but play like the 2nd half of Saturday and you never know. We've given Bristol the momentum on a plate and need a huge amount to go our way to emerge safe-it's not curtains yet, but Brizzle are far from infalliable and may yet let us in once more; if they do, we absolutely have to take it.

Agreed, this is the last chance saloon!

My fondest memory of city is an away win against spurs on the last day of the season, that kept us in the premiership against all odds. I think williams scored the winner though I may be wrong.

We can do it again!

Going to bed, but predict a 1.3 victory against Burnley. Will stake my left ear on it.

Willing to receive any reciprocal bets.
