I can't see us holding onto second for long with the huge pileup of injuries we have but... just wow! Am I dreaming? Favourites for relegation in August and we are now in an auto spot with a top of the table clash coming up on Saturday and a two legged semi final against probably the best team in Europe. These are wonderful times to be a City fan and I'm loving it!

Favourites for relegation, a bit extreme that ain't it you have invested a fair amount in the team havent you? You've been very consistent so far as have Cardiff so no reason it won't continue. Looks to be a cracking race for 2nd, if we can back today up with a win against bolton im confident of us mounting a challenge for it too.

Nope, we were indeed heavily tipped for relegation by most pundits. And I can't exactly blame them. Dogshit last season and we lost the only two "names" we had in our squad.

Piss poor today. Need to cut these performances out if we're to have any shot at top 6.

You're exactly the same as the last two seasons mate.

 

[KevinMcallister]

well football is a strange game 6 games ago we looked dead as a team this season, we are now 5 points from 2nd

playoffs hopefully this time around and anything can happen

 

[markwwfc1992]

Fucking get in, huge win and we just keep grinding them out. Still only 6 inside the POs if Villa win it's all very tight, but we keep going strong for now. Wolves next, win that and we're only 5 behind them.

And 11 behind if you lose

 

[JJH]

And 11 behind if you lose

11 behind it'll be then mate

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Let's hope this prediction is as wrong as all your others recently.

Only got the last two score results wrong I've been pretty good with them lately. I was about 12 people out on a home attendance prediction figure against Forest as well.

 

[blademan89]

Some good top of the table fixtures coming up in the next week too. Wolves v bristol city, Boro v villa , Cardiff v pne, derby v blades.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Oh come off it! You said before the Sheff Utd game that this was as good it would get for us and it was all down hill from then on. Not that I'm complaining mind, this seems to be working a charm so keep it going!

 

[blademan89]

All bristol city fans predict losses every week don't they and if they do lose then it's season over.

 

[big mean bunny]

With away to Bristol, home to Brentford within 3 days of each other, I'd take 4 pts as a good return considering the way the league is panning out.

Can then get knocked out the cup and get to putting another run of 5 or 6 wins in a row together hopefully.

 

[markwwfc1992]

The Bristol City game is huge, win and I think we won't be caught. Lose and the gap is 5 points, which really isn't much and the pressure is really on. If we do go up I'll miss the excitement from this division, something the Premier League cannot match.

Other than doing a Leicester it would be perfect going up and down every year than doing a stoke or west brom

We are literally down to the kids now injury wise Mark, with another 2 injuries to senior players today. I would be very surprised if we put a team out on Saturday without at least 2 youngsters. We really need a few back or January to arrive. We'll have a go though, no doubt!

Villa vs City NYD also. Be delighted with 3 points from our next 2.

We aren't much better mate, Ivan Cavaleiro and Willy Boly both were taken off today with injuries and doubtful for our game. The players who are fit are absolutely knackered because they've played every game this season, as Nuno rarely rotates the team. May well be Bristol City reserves vs Wolves reserves on Saturday. Be warned though, our reserves held Man City to 0-0

Our reserves ain't played them yet!
This could be crap in comparison to the game at yours, I haven't seen a better game than that in years and years! Counting the 2 possibles today, we've got 11 out.

 

[villa loyal]

Count us out. Even if we do make the play offs, which we won't, then we will bottle it. Boro next then Bristol city.

Don’t know if you guys just had an off day last night, but I thought you guys were really quite bad.

Then again, a little bit more luck on a couple of those chances at the end and you could have had a point.

Draw with Boro will suit us all above you nicely.

I'd put money on it being a draw.

We were dreadful. It was the same last season at your place, but tbf, you're not a bad team, and play some great stuff.

I'm the opposite of this, as a Wolves fan than isnt from Wolvo, I've always felt a disconnect as the coverage of this league nationally is poor. In the prem I could watch ever game and get a greater amount of press on the team.

 

[Rammy]

Could you just let us win please? Many thanks.

Reading quotes from Stevie Bruce after the game, seems it was a uncharacteristic performance.

Nice to see Hogan getting a start. Good assist too

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

Wheels are off, relegation beckons. Was fun while it lasted chaps.

Was it that bad against Fulham? I do think most of Fulhams better games come away from home and they look to be hitting a bit of form so I don’t think they’ve came off quite yet. Has tomlin turned shit and lazy yet?

By far the worst we have played this season, Fulham were shit yet it was men against boys. For Tomlin to turn shit and lazy the fucker needs to actually play, star signing yet we won't change our shape to fit him in the side.
