InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted April 14, 2009 We play the scum after everyone else and of course the reading home is the monday after everyone else has played.Do you think the delaying of our games will be positive or negative for us?I can only see it being positive. If we''re out of the bottom 3 when we kick off against the scum then we will have the freedom to play and attack to our best ability and could see us winning against a very poor ips**** team . Reading at home is a night game and for some reason we always play well in night matches at Carrow Road (Cardiff and Wolves anyone)?What say you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted April 14, 2009 id rather we were not tbh. if forest and barnsley win saturday then this just adds unwanted pressure and anxiety. if our rivals lose then we may feel we can take our foot of the pedal a bit and this could also be bad news. id much rather be playing before our rivals or at least the same time. i think playing after is a lose lose situation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted April 14, 2009 The Doc was interviewed after the match by Radio Norfolk and he did suggest that if City''s closest rivals won this could be quite a blow to the Canaries'' confidence going into their later kick off games, and on the contrary they would be uplifted if the other teams in danger lost. This made me think that perhaps it would be a good idea for Team Gunn and the entire 1st team squad to have a news blackout before these games. In other words, perhaps they should adopt a policy of no news is good news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Holt 512 Posted April 14, 2009 I see it as nothing but an advantage. I''m sure the players would rather go out knowing what is required of them instead of going out there oblivious to what is going on in Nottingham/Barnsley. Put it this way, if Forest are held on saturday, wouldn''t the players would go out with a nothing to lose and everything to gain attitude?And CT, At last a sensible thread!

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted April 14, 2009 51 pts will NOT be enough. I''m not even convinced 52 will be. I think we need to win 2 and draw the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 256 Posted April 14, 2009 I think if we get 50 (and lose the other match by the odd goal) we''ve got a reasonable chance.52 would surely do it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Holt 512 Posted April 14, 2009 We could, of course, go into the Reading game already safe....How? if we win against the filth, we''ll be 3 clear of Forest and Barnsley (depending on them both losing on the saturday) with 6 points up for grabs...

Foxy is a Pleasure 0 Posted April 14, 2009 Barnsley and Forest would have just one game left by the time we play Reading.. By then we will have a fair idea of what we will need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Holt 512 Posted April 14, 2009 Oh i geddit now...Sorry for being dumb, I didn''t take into account the fact that Reading is after a whole weekend of fixtures as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted April 14, 2009 I can see both Barnsley AND Forest beating Coventry. With the Tykes having a game in hand,I can also see both of them winning another game as well. That gives them 52 pts,and OK,if we match that ,and with our better GD, we MAY be OK,but I would''t like to chance it. We need 53 pts to be absolutely sure,I''m afraid.

Mason 47 1,351 Posted April 14, 2009 Am I being crazy by beginning to think we could actually win the last 3 games?Ipswich is a derby game where league position rarely plays a part, and Ipswich have hit some managerial turmoil recently which could unsettle them along with their disgruntled fansReading are coming to Carrow Road, where I remain confident we can beat anyone Charlton are rubbishThen again, I did have very high hopes for Chris ''High Density Material'' Killen...
