Being a city supporter it cannot be helped! We have had years of being kicked in the bollox every time we get to the expectation state, I like a lot of city supporters try to protect ourselves from ever despondency expecting the worse. Football is a confidence game and that goes for supporters as well
Forms a bit sketchy against Crewe at home in recent times having only beaten Crewe once at the Ricoh winning our last home meeting 3-2 but before that we went 5 games unable to beat them drawing 2 and losing 3 in league and cup games. Prior to that we won 6 of the previous 7.
On a brighter note we won our last meeting in the 4th tier 3-2 in 1959
We had done well away against them though in recent years.
Think Mowbray had a pretty similar record in terms of home form after his first few months with us did he not?
Tomorrow is a big test of how well this team will do this season
As above we have overcome the "Swindoo" and we must beat teams like Crewe if we want automatic promotion.
After nearly 50 years of supporting CCFC you never feel confident but it is starting ( and I emphasis starting) to feel a little different this season with this squad of players
What has impressed me the most has been the depth of squad after injuries to Andreau and McNulty and McDonald suspension
Keeping Doyle and Kelly fit and no suspensions is key for me.
The difference for me v last season, is even if we were leading 1-0 in the 85th minute, I expected to lose.
Last season we were winning at half time , more often than we were losing, but over half of the time we took the lead, we were pulled back
