    well the expected [ by me of 14 pts failed by 1 ] but we did have a few colourful displays … :emoticon-0136-giggl

    NEXT 10 I am expecting 13 points a bit less than last time we do potentially have 5 teams above us in top 8 /top 6 ………. 5 home … 5 away

    Peterbro ……… A --------------- 3 …. won 2 - 3 = 3pts
    Bourne ………… H --------------0
    N Florest ……… H ------------- 1
    W Brom ……….. A -------------- 0
    Barnsley …….… H -------------- 3

    Birmingham ….. A ------------- 1
    Coventry ……….. A ------------- 1
    BBurn …………… H ------------- 3
    Stoke …………….. H ------------- 0
    SheffU …………… A -------------- 1

    Quite a difficult set of fixtures heading our way starting with Bournemouth and not getting any easier after that plum. I still think we are still quite weak in certain areas and my concern is that some of these upcoming opponents should be more than capable of using our deficiencies to their advantage. It will be interesting to see how we fare with Massengo back in the line up but his fancy runs need to produce more for the front runners in Weimann/Martin. I am sure that Nigel will have analyzed every single foot of tape from the games he missed and will have a good idea how to fix the sloppy play and errors. What's the verdict out there on Bakinson?

    with the odd thread throwing up stats about who is who / good or bad things i wonder should the "best stats" actually pick the next starting line up, all being fit that is! ….
    NP did seem to protect returnee's last time round though?

    I’ve a feeling we could win Tues, that may change nearer the kick off, but feel confident at the moment, no idea why, just a gut feeling.

    Teams often get a new manager “bounce”that dies off after a while, hopefully we’ll end their good run Tuesday

    so far I think we have been out thought at home..... ! managers do concentrate on home games, and get a pattern that works, so little tweaking is all thats needed ... when playing away they have to up the game ? work out the home team ..home team with reasonable results usually ... and endeavour to get the point or snatch all 3. When home teams form is poor that extra bit of analizing pays dividends ... and going for 3 points accepting a point is the plan. OK some teams do go at it everygame but at the moment City is the wounded prey ..........................
    we need to get a goal or 2 in the first 17 minutes, and keep on attacking, we have in the past got a point or 3 then tried to defend conceeding toward the end... we have scored 3 twice so far need to score 3 another twice in the next 8 games ....

    OK Its all down to NIGE ... as I am assuming he has turned the page over, and he is in sole charge with no potential opposition now [ S&D! ] ....... SO WE WILL WIN THE NEXT 3
    City v Barnsley ... l/
    Birmingham v City
    Coventry v City ... and be on 25 pts!

    During this time there are 6 other potential fixtures that may help our climb:-
    Swansea v Peterbro; Florest v Sheff; Barnsley v Derby; Barnsley v Hull; Birmingham v Reading; Florest v PNE [ poor Barnsley ] ....

    Coventry sit in 4th but play Hull a / Swans h / City h....... so potentially on 30 points
    Luton sit in 5th & play PNE a / Midds h / Stoke h ....... 27pts?
    Middsbro in 6th & play Birminham h/ Luton a / WBA a ... 27 pts?

    7th to 11th are all on 21pts but could gain points [ x?]
    QPR V Florest & away to Cardiff / Bpool [ 4pt ] ....... Hudders v Millwall & away Peterbro /Cardiff ..... [ 5pt ]
    Stoke v Cardiff & away Bpool / Luton [ 5pt ]........ Millwall a Hudds & home Reading /Derby [ 5pt ]........ Bpool a Sheff & home Stoke / QPR [ 4pt ]

    12th BBurn 20pts a Derby & home Fulham / Sheff [ 4 pt ]..... 13th Reading 19 pts h AFC Bourne & away Millwall / Birmingham [3pt ]
    14th on 18 pts is Sheff v Bpool & away to Florest / BBurn [ 3pt]........

    so best scenario is in 10th equal position 6pts 13th 3pts 17th posn ......

    A win is a win doesnt matter whom it is against or how it was won ...
    Peterbro ……… A --------------- 3 …. won 2 - 3 = 3pts
    Bourne ………… H --------------0 .... lost 0 - 2 = 0pts
    N Florest ……… H ------------- 1 .... lost 1 - 2 = 0pts ... winning 1-0 till 90 +2 conceeded 2 goals in 50 secs .....:emoticon-0153-broke<grr><yikes>
    W Brom ……….. A -------------- 0 ... lost 3 - 0 = 0 pts ... expected
    Barnsley …….… H -------------- 3 .... won 2-1 had to be or else there would be ruckshuns bottom team [ on points gained ] other than Florest predictions on track.

    Birmingham ….. A ------------- 1
    Coventry ……….. A ------------- 1
    BBurn …………… H ------------- 3
    Stoke …………….. H ------------- 0
    SheffU …………… A -------------- 1

    14th equal W 5 D 4 L 6 GF17 GA21 dif -4 pts 19 .... pts from top 6 [5] = no change 5pts but spread of 3pts is over just 8 teams [ 5th 24pts 12th 21pts ]
    we need 3pts from NEXT GAME NOW !!!

    A win is a win doesnt matter whom it is against or how it was won ... BE NICE TO HAVE A COUPLE!
    Peterbro ……… A --------------- 3 …. won 2 - 3 = 3pts
    Bourne ………… H --------------0 .... lost 0 - 2 = 0pts
    N Florest ……… H ------------- 1 .... lost 1 - 2 = 0pts ... winning 1-0 till 90 +2 conceeded 2 goals in 50 secs .....:emoticon-0153-broke<grr><yikes>
    W Brom ……….. A -------------- 0 ... lost 3 - 0 = 0 pts ... expected
    Barnsley …….… H -------------- 3 .... won 2-1 had to be or else there would be ruckshuns bottom team [ on points gained ] other than Florest predictions on track.

    Birmingham ….. A ------------- 1 lost ... 3 - 0 = 0pts
    Coventry ……….. A ------------- 1 lost ... 3 - 2 = 0pts
    BBurn …………… H -------.----- 3 drew ... 1 - 1 = 1 pt . ......... from 1 - 2 to losing 3 - 2 [90+2 ]
    Stoke …………….. H ------------- 0 won .. 1 - 0 = 3 pt . that was a bonus!!!!
    SheffU …………… A -------------- 1

    1 Game to go [ to played 20 ] 15th = on 20 pts. 8pts above relegation and 8pts from top 6
    my expectation of 13 points is dependant on winning next 1 and that wont happen!!! [ well it might ]

    74 pts is qualifying for top 6!

    so far 10 of the 13 points gained I hoped for ,

    Sat v Sheff Utd will be 20 games, max 26 pts [ mid tablish ] and goals 21 v 28 a negative at mo [ game 19 ] and season 2020/21 we managed 32pts were in 5th scored 23 v 18 SO a bit behind but on the up .. very interesting when was the last time city played the same start and subs pre KO and used subs slightly different

    WITH A COUPLE " of better! " players to come back who will be dissapointed!!!
