We're nearly there (13 Viewers)

Still cant fully take in whats happening to us .

Mental season

Exactly the same here. Its incredible.

Something I've dreamed about for the last 24 years, but doesn't feel like how I imagined it would

I'm not even sure I can say its enjoyable to be honest. Saturday nights after a win feel amazing. The rest of the time I just want the season over with as I'm terrified we're still going to blow it!

There were times where I honestly thought it would be decades before we had a chance of getting back there

We've won every game we've scored first.

In the words of Keegan "I would LOVE it" if we took the lead against them at Portman Road.

I would love you to beat Ipswich, so it's just the two us at the top.

Expect some dodgy ref decisions against you in that game.

 

[Ipad Boro]

Oh I'm fully anticipating that. As well as the Iswich players enmasse surrounding the ref at every opportunity.

We're going up now regardless, I'm not sure it's even possible to blow it at this point.

Echo a few other comments that I'm not sure it's even enjoyable and what is the prize that awaits

This is what its all for isnt it .. why we chose to go through all the misery

Sush your filthy mouth!

 

[Ipad Boro]

3 draws and 4 points dropped for all three of em

If someone offered me that, I'd be all over it personally.

Would leave 8 or 9 games left, one against the Owls (but not for Millwall) with Ipswich having only 2 home games left out of those 9 remaining.

I'd wolf down that guarantee ta very much, and ask for seconds. Any way you can box it off for me Johnny?

Ipswich having most their games away is massive for us

 

[Ipad Boro]

Oh yeah we scored first both times we beat you

Be honest, you were just playing stupid sod to set up that punchline weren't you, you cheeky cheekster!

That third one will be a new leisure range in the club shop in the summer

Agree but it just doesn't feel how I expected it to. I think my brain is broken from being the underdog for 30 years

If I don't bet on it it will happen, would you like that gift wrapped sir

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Ipswich having most their games away is massive for us

What’s massive for us is that if we need a goal you have to make sure that Steve goes for a fag

He mentioned that on the way home

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

He mentioned that on the way home

I walked to him at half time and said you missed it didn’t you

We are doing so well this season! And if we don't win it fucks my weekend up!

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Sush your filthy mouth!

Finally!

 

[Mcbean]

I would like to point out that never have City done it the easy way However the team news today was unexpected with no Rudi or Thomas even in the squad but the result showed the determination in the team to win

 

[gruffskyblue]

I keep imagining MVE wearing a blue wig with a Ghetto Blaster!

We are indeed nearly there.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Still cant fully take in whats happening to us .

Mental season

I'm one of the lucky ones I was there in 66/67 season when we got promoted to Division 1, that's what it was called back then.

That was a mental season also.

 

[capel & collindridge]

Perhaps we're spending too much time looking at the number of wins and losses. It's the draws that have been the most reliably consistent factor. 20 of the 24 Championship teams this year have drawn almost exactly a quarter of their fixtures. There is no reason to suppose that that same ratio won't continue until the end of the season.

It means almost every team will draw at least two or three of their remaining games. That means nearly every team will drop about 5 points more than most people are expecting will be dropped. Our excellent goal difference should also mean that one less win than most are predicting should be enough for City to clinch automatic promotion this year. 85 points may well be enough. Three wins and two draws should do it.

I now think we may achieve this by the first week in April, with four or five games to spare!

What a great season it has been!
