Making Plans 936 Posted March 6, 2015 With Bournemouth looking like they''re gonna get 3 points tonight at Fulham (2 up at half time) we could do with a couple of results going our way tomorrowDerby 0-0 Birmingham - would like Derby to get beat but I can''t see it happening. Hope for a defeat, settle for a draw.Scum 0-0 Brentford - best result all round would be a draw, we don''t want either to win.Millwall 0-2 City - would be happy with a routine performance - clean sheet, 3 points, no yellows or reds and no injuries.Forest 2-0 Boro - Forest playing well so could be a tough game for Boro who haven''t been great away from home recentlyWolves 1-0 Watford - difficult one but a defeat for Watford might just slow them down a bit. If not, a draw wouldn''t be a bad result.That would leave the table looking very tight Bournemouth 66 Middlesbrough 66 Derby 66 Watford 65 Norwich 65 Brentford 62 Ipswich 61 Wolves 60 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
? 0 Posted March 6, 2015 Think you''re being overly hopeful that Derby will draw against Brum, they are at home and whilst I am aware that they are on a bit of a bad run still think they have too much for Brum! Watford Wolves to me could well be a draw or Watford win.Anyway, as long as we win, which I think we will, we''ll still be in with a chance of the auto''s.

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted March 6, 2015 My wish list is we win 3-0. Jerome scores the first goal. Howson and Hoolahan the other two. And all the goals come in the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westcoastcanary 0 Posted March 7, 2015 Never mind wish lists, what matters is rules of thumb. The first one being:"If there''s a banana skin, City will slip on it"Given which, other teams'' results are more or less irrelevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted March 7, 2015 I''d go with the op''s scenario. One point from the top and a tight top seven gives us the chance to attack the very top. It gives the other teams hope too, but that doesn''t matter. One point from the top is the best place to be to challenge top position. Class will prevail and as long as we get back to total competitiveness asap, we will surely be right there and challenging for top spot, right to the end of the season, however many teams there are doing well. It may be close for the next few weeks, but you can''t win the league without being there, so if we are one point off it after today, we are in prime position to challenge.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted March 7, 2015 Norwich win.Ipswich lose in the 93rd minute to a dodgy penalty, are docked three points for fielding an ineligible player, McCarthy gets a touchline ban for chinning the fourth official after award of said penalty, club are fined £50,000 for an on-pitch brawl which leaves six of their players in hospital with long term injuries.

shefcanary 2,408 Posted March 7, 2015 And a few sending offs in some of the challenging teams too! Aside from Seb''s and Grab''s injury we should be at full strength for Derby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
