ZLF 271 Posted January 23, 2010 In the finest tradition of the norwich way, the result should be a draw or an away win jst to let us have the usual anti climax!There is no reason why we should not, but I just hope that anxiety or over confidence in the crowd or the players dont prevent what would seal a truly remarkable 6 months.

Instead of playing catch up we have a chance to hit the front at a time when Charlton are only grinding out narrow wins (and I doubt their luck can hold forever) and Leeds may be showing signs of cup distraction and a suddenly less solid defence. If we can get a good win under our belts today we really put it on the others to try and stay with us plus we get to lay some ghosts of previous "huge" games where we have bottled it when it really mattered.Come on City, you can do it!

MyGodWeArePoorToWatch 0 Posted January 23, 2010 This game is no different to any other we have played under PL.We can go top today, or we could loose ground and drop points, something we are bound to do before the seasons over.But to call this the most important game yet this season is somewhat over the top, because it will be a false position untill leeds catch up with there games in hand.Then we will know where we stand, and then thats when the pressure of games will need to be handled.

ZLF 271 Posted January 23, 2010 Its all about applying pressure to the other teams. We and they know we will drop points, but leeds are wobbling and just to apply that little bit more psychological pressure by making them sit second in the table given their last two seasons will just test them when it comes to their next game and their games in hand.They have a new manager this time and things may be different for them this season - I suspect it will to be honest - but all we can do is show we can handle the pressure, perform and win today and let the rest of the season take its course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having had such a lead at one time, seeing us overtake them, albeit playing more games, could affect them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
