sidcow Posted April 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2019 What's so brilliant is with every injury/ban/illness everyone who has come in has taken their chance and done the job. Today was the absolute worst case scenario for us. The team right behind us and in decent form, our already decimated central defence needs a midfield stand in, our inspiration and best midfielder out, missing our go to second striker, it was a recipe for disaster. It felt like none of those players were missing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jackbauer24 Posted April 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2019 How many points do we need to be mathematically safely in the playoffs as it stands? Can't get my head round it - is it eight points? Assuming every result goes 'against' us would that be enough for 6th? Bristol could get a maximum of 80pts (affecting Derby total to max of 75) or Derby could get 78pts meaning Bristol get 77pts Draw means max of (BC) 78pts and (DC) 76pts. But we only need to be ahead of one of them so the highest total (for 6th) is the middle scenario. Middlesbrough can get 76pts. So the worst case scenario is Derby on 78pts (winning every game), Bristol on 77pts (winning every game bar DC), Boro 76pts (winning every game) So, as it stands, we need eight points from remaining four games. Is my maths correct?! We'd be tied on points but goal difference is much healthier. Would love to go into last two games needing nothing though! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that it’s overly long ( sadly my most hirsute days are long gone), it’s more your ‘straggly greying straw’ effect....its a matter of personal taste whether this is better exposed and dishevelled or merely protruding......I’m not sure she is entirely enamoured with either to be honest ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 If anyone fancies a good laugh today head over to the Bristol city fan forum. 4 or 5 threads going based on villa/ref. Would seem the bitterness and petulance of their manager treacles down to a section of their supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee might not have been great but it's just the standard of this league, we was missing our best cb who was suspended because of dodgy yellow cards the previous game, everyone in this league is victim to some crap decisions at some point but the only reason that game wasn't a thrashing was because the goalkeeper made some absolute outrageous saves. Like you say, it's just bitterness from some fans. Edit: had a look at the forum you mentioned, very bitter fans, going on about how much they hate us and hope we don't go up lol. Would love to beat them in a play off final now. Edited April 14, 2019 by holteend1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I think an Alex Neil lead wba with the first leg at VP would be a tricky combo for us. People go on about pullis, allardyce, even bruce as anti football ...neil seems to slip under the radar ...his preston side have timewasting down to a fine art.
