Louis 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Shackell and Doherty sounded immense. If they can keep that up, we''re still alive. I''m overjoyed with the win tonight, but it will still be a major achievement to stay up. But, we now have hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deano123w 0 Posted March 3, 2009 well done city great result but we are still in pretty much the same position with southampton winning, lets just hope this isnt a one off like many of our other good wins this season. And lets hope the teams around us start to drop points too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like we played like we knew how to win a game for once, digging in and doing the ugly part and a real team effort and will to win which we haven''t seen for eons. Plus the clean sheet will give them a massive boost. We are back on course for the great escape but it''s going to be really close as all the other teams are capable of getting wins.

[/quote]This is so true - we are not down yet - but emphasis has to be on the yet rather than the not down.We must get a result at Blackpool - in my books anything but a loss. They are pretty much the only catchable team now and considering that Southampton have a game in hand it may not be enough.Again whilst in the next game we could go equal on points with Watford and Barnsley they both have games in hand and so you would be hoping for them to loose at least one of their games - you certainly wouldn''t want them picking up more than three points out of a possible six just to give us a chance.In the end our guys can''t worry about any of that and they have to go out there and get the best possible result only after each result can they have a glimpse at that table.Those that say we have only got a point closer and it means nothing need to look at the goal difference tally. As they say - a good goal difference can be as good as a point. In this case should everyone around us loose we would be 20th. I like having a team between us and the bottom three as a buffer thank you very much!However - like I said, I think the odds still remain against us - a good goal difference is only useful in a situation where you share points, so first of all we need the points. I just hope Hoolahan has a blinder against his old team and we beat them. In reality right now Blackpool and Southampton are the two teams most likely to finish bellow us other than Charlton.

Theres only one Ken Foggo 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Yes but things are still looking a bit better than they did on Saturday. If we could sneak another 1-0 win at Bloomfield Road we might even be out of the bottom three. After the gloom and doom of Saturday to be in this position is worth celebrating in itself.

Jules 0 Posted March 4, 2009 We''re going to have to do something we haven''t done all season then... Win two games in a row (not to mention away!). Don''t forget that our record against relegation rivals has been poor this season. So all in all we''re still odds on to go down. But... where there is a slim chance there is still hope! Cruel, torturing hope!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Empty Mirror 0 Posted March 4, 2009 Ricardo is right: the key to survival is clean sheets. 10 clean sheets would probably see us to safety (since even City would presumably score in three of those ten games, and three wins and seven draws would get us 16 points, to 52 which would probably be enough). Not easy to see us keeping ten clean sheets though!As John Cleese said, "The despair I can cope with, it''s the hope I can''t stand". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
