We’ve been horrendously unlucky with injuries. If we do go down I think it would be because of that bad luck, we have a good team who tend to play well together and could beat most of the other teams in this league, we’ve just had too many key players out long term.
If we do go down and we can keep most of this squad we will bounce back, similarly if we stay up I think it will only be a couple of additions and we could be mid table or higher quite comfortably

Your talking about a striker end of the day the window opened 5 weeks ago he didn’t address it


The fact max started ahead of Gyo was telling the fact we done the budget on Gyo,Reid & Tavares in fees and wages in certain we could of found something we needed

No, we drew 0-0, against a team that cost close to 200 millions pounds to assemble.

Good for them, they were poor today and were there for the taking. My point is that we aren’t getting the wins we need in the games where we play well due to how many chances we miss.

Don’t think so, but don’t care really. As we know well there’s plenty of fun to be had in the lower leagues, this one may well be too big for us

I still think Rotherham could go down with Wycombe as they will not sustain their current form. For me that leaves one from us, Blues and Sheff Wed. We have been unlucky with injuries and need to hold our nerve now over what will be a tough few weeks when we could find ourselves in the bottom 3. But come March we will have players back and some more winnable games. Clearly getting Walker and/or Godden back will be key.

Be surprised to see Godden back this season

We were expected to lose.

If we pick up draws against the top teams, as we did with Watford today, we will be absolutely fine.

To put a twist on the original saying, if we are to stay up, it will be a case of 'Survival by a thousand (bandaged) cuts'.
I predict us to quite literally limp over the finish line.

Who’s scoring the goals for you ?

The pessimists who support this club amaze me. Last season were weren’t going up because we could win away. Then we went on a run that got us the points we deserved.
This season there is one target, to finish fourth from bottom or above it. Yes we don’t score enough goals but if we didn’t concede schoolboy error goals like the 2 against Forest we would likely have a further 5 or 6 points and the goals we were scoring were sufficient to keep us up. At the beginning of this season we were free scoring in comparison to now but we were conceding at a rate of 2 a game. If we remain tight at the back as we were today the goals will come.
At the moment we’re are on target to achieve the target the club wanted. Yes we could score more but tbh I don’t care if we don’t score loads of goals I will happily accept survival in any form then look to strengthen next season.

I think we will hang on - just - if we don’t we have to fire robins and not make the same dumb mistake we did last time

Gutted with some of the results today with Rotherham, Forest and QPR winning. I just hope we are able to keep the work rate up over this difficult month of games and avoid losing any more to injuries. If we can stay up and regroup it will be a great achievement. We somehow need to sneak a win against one of the top sides. McCallum will be unavailable v Norwich so not sure how we'll put a team together there. It will be a big ask for Josh Reid if he is fit.

Not really. I watched city in the top flight for 23 years it was largely piss. The promotion campaigns of the last few years and the checkatrade provided far more enjoyment. Better that than winning a handful of games a season

Relentless.

We could lose every game for the rest of the season and Robins would keep his job, and rightly so.

Really weird how Robins' success eats away at you.

It depends on when Walker returns and if he comes back and starts scoring

I'm very on the fence about this. I have put no, but my opinion could change again in the coming weeks.

I'm very concerned about our ability to put the ball in the net. Our goal threat is League 2 standard, and it was an issue last year too. We were just playing weaker opposition, also relying on our strong back line.

On performances like today, we could do it and stay up, but we need more consistency and we have to take some fucking chances. It is difficult to coach that into players, but what can be changed is the way we approach games. Sometimes the tactics and substitutions are completely wrong. It is frustrating because we play one of the top teams today and we easily competed, then we play some of the shitter teams and we don't even try to win the game. That might be what does us.

Luckily we have some very decent midfielders at this level (James, Hamer and O'Hare) with great work rate and we have a guy at the back (Ostigard) who is playing well above his age, and will be a contender for player of the season at this rate.
