Thread: Championship nerves

  1. #1

    Championship nerves

    Listening to 5Live on way home and think they had a point. There will be plenty of nerves jangling at the top of the Champ

    West Brom - best team in league
    Leeds - clearly bricking it
    Fulham - probably need promotion financially
    Forest - haven’t been in Prem 20-odd years. Adds pressure from fans
    Brentford - young team, lack of experience. Nervy
    Preston - can’t think of anything
    Bristol City - perennial failures

    We have absolutely nothing to be nervous about. 6th would be an achievement given our stuttering season.

    It’s on

    Re: Championship nerves

    I realised the other week that my missus has booked a holiday in Portugal the same time as the Championship play off final, so every City fan just as well relax, we’re obviously going to be in it and beat either Swansea or Leeds. It’s fate, I tell you, fate.

    With this team?
    Playing the way we are
    Not a hope in hell
    Unpopular realistic view
    It's the hope that kills you just let it go.

    Not without Joe Ralls, I'm afraid.

    I agree, we're hard to beat but can't score goals.
    Can anyone see this team winning three or four on the trot?

    For the first time this season, I can.

    I didn't think we could beat top of the league but we did.

    That's no way to do it. I always base it on results from matchdays 1, 3, 11, 14, 16, 21 and 26. Using this scientifically proven formula shows we've been shit all season and have won no points.

    Is that so? Because the only form table I could find for the last 15 matches has City in 6th:

    https://www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables...home-and-away/

    Personally, I don't think form over 15 games could be described as 'current' anyway. After all, 15 games ago City were at Charlton. Madine was up front, Peltier and Flint were in defence, Etheridge was in goal, Bogle came on as a sub and Tomlin was only a sub. The team looks quite different now in terms of personnel at least.

    Current form is generally accepted to be the last six games. However, regardless of what form table you want to use, the fact is that City aren't top of any of them, as Eastbourne Blue suggested.

    Their position in the current form tables is as follows:

    4 games - 7th
    6 games - 10th
    8 games - 7th
    10 games - 11th

    Personally, I think 'form since Albert Adomah has been in the team' is the only reliable guide.

    City are 9th in that table.

    That means we're 9th in a table of 24 where the other 23 don't have Albert Adomah. Is that a good thing or not?

    If you’d now love to see City promoted back to the PL then I applaud you.

    I’ve noticed you’ve migrated from calling us Cardiff City to just City over recent times...it’s ok to use ‘Us’ as well in future.

    Welcome back... enjoy your football posts��

    The five games I attended last season included Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. The six games I've attended so far this season have included Millwall, Preston and Reading, and Wigan may be next on the agenda. With all due respect to the latter teams, it's no contest.

    I won't pretend I feel anything even close to the same about the club these days as I did pre-rebrand, but I'd still like to see City competing at the highest level. It's so much more entertaining, especially for those of us who are no longer fanatics and watch as many games on TV as we do live.
