You can look at it as a solid point against a side in reasonable form and you can also look at it in context of the last 4 weeks and, unfortunately, the season as a whole.

It's no worse than last season, most teams are similar which is why the is so condensed.
Thats exactly what I was thinkingHow on earth is that the most difficult run of games on paper since 2001

Didn't we just make them look poor ? As their recent form suggests they're a pretty good side
I enjoyed the game today. Better balance in the team. Bidwell had a great game. So did Sheaf but tiredness got to him towards the end. I think that there is something to build on.
Thats exactly what I was thinking
Can't believe people are taking the 2001 comment as the key point from that.
Or so you think it's a winnable run of games?
There's 5 maybe 6 games there that make you think , ooh that's tough
The other half I don't think anything
But it's not last season and we are struggling.
Leeds, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Ipswich away with this side worries me.. At least we play Southampton at home..
People are doing that because it’s a truly incredible take on things.
This place is becoming so boring. Always fucking crying sad bastards
5/6 very, very difficult games.
Let's not forget we've lost to Preston (had not won in seven matches), Rotherham (had not won in six matches) and Bristol City (lost three in four).
Regardless of how much people are desperate to tell me it's not the most difficult run since 2001. It's clearly a lot more difficult than the last 5 games.
I'd absolutely love for you to laugh at me if we win at Sunderland, Leeds, Ipswich etc.
We've just switched systems by the looks of things and drew with a side that's just beat 3 of those 11 sides , and 3 of the best ones too .
We were comfortably the better team today too
None of those 11 sides will batter us , not a single team this season has .. if anything the only reason we aren't In the top 6 is because our strikers can't score for toffee
We're still a tough side to play against
Actually, yeah. It’s the most difficult run since 2001, I’ve just sat here and looked at every season’s fixtures since.
You always wax lyrical about our super massive fanbase that you’ve made up, but the post in question you made sound very…small club. Is there a reason we should be trembling at that run of fixtures?
I'm not arguing that we weren't better today. I personally think the system today and in the second half at Preston looked better.
Not sure what to make of that second paragraph. Genuinely don't quite understand what you're trying to say?
Genuinely don’t see where the next win is coming from
but second half was better
but second half was better
We're a good side , we're making life hard for ourselves , no team will have an easy game against us , that I'm certain of
Absolutely but that doesn't mean we pick up results. I'm as desperate as anyone for us to turn things around and would love for you to laugh at me come Christmas.
Plymouth which is the next home game is a must win
You actually think that after watching what you watch ? We should be winning most weeks .
We should beat millwall and Plymouth but if we don't take our chances we won't.
We aren't shit
Didn’t look a shit side today I must say. Got to put the ball in the net though
We've had a better xG than xGA in 13 of the matches we've had, that's 1 more than Leicester. Keep the faith imo.

Is this your first season supporting City? Losing all our games in our easy run then taking points off the top teams is what we do!
I think it's a tough run but clearly it isn't according to everyone on here.
No idea what that second paragraph is about. Ridiculous comment
Let's hope we do beat them because I've read exactly the same thing since Leicester.
Seen a lot worse. I was there with the 300 odd at Morecambe. Times have changed and we aren't doing well this year. Just disappointed with the past 4 weeks.
Nah. You feel we should be shitting ourselves at a bunch of league fixtures.
Just got back, thought we looked decent. Impressed by the back 4, everyone looked more comfortable in the 433. Collins kicking is far better than Wilson's, didn't have much to do so can't judge him yet.
Still an obvious Hamer shaped hole in the team. A pivot to spring attacks.
Haji is frustrating. He'd do the hard bit. Holding up or wriggling away from a defender then cock up the easy bit. I reckon he'll come good just a hard watch at the moment.
Simms looks like more positive breaking from the wing. He'd thrive if we had someone capable of springing balls through to him.
I think we will be fine if we get a couple of energetic ball playing midfielders in in Jan.
