I woke up today having a feeling we will win - not sure why, just a gut feel. God I hope so!!! 🤞🤞🤞
I’d like to see Lees back in today

Bristol City with four clean sheets on the spin then the message from Manning to his team is to repeat this in the remaining matches, after Town the last side to visit Ashton Gate will be Rotherham so the home supporters will be expecting more of the same from Wednesday 5-0 thumping to Blackburn......Rather take a 0-0 than a thrashing, AB says we are going there to win, hold on tight Town fans could be a bumpy ride.

We've won 9 games all season, statistically might win one more in the last 4.
Realistically we are going to need 2 more wins and probably at least a draw as 50 points will be the magic safety number this season.
I think our luck could well run out this year.

I honestly dont think we have a chance today, against a team in good form away from home. We just have too many issues to resolve all over the field and time has almost run out. Our only win since Watford away has been a 93rd minute winner against a Millwall team who pretty much came for a point. I dont think Andre knows his best team, he still changes things around game by game, including formations. We go to Preston and we dont start with a recognised striker, and have 3 on the bench, even though both Bojan and Healey have scored in recent games. The substitutions are bizarre at times, and it still feels like we are making changes for the sake of it to give people a run out almost like its a pre season friendly.
Then we get to the players, and while you can forgive them a lack of quality (they didnt sign themselves), what you cant forgive is capitulation after capitulation when something goes against us, whether its a goal, a penalty, a disallowed goal, or whatever it is. If it happens once then you can put it down to being a one off, but when it happens again and again and again, then its inexcusable. At this time in the season if you cant give absolutely everything for 90 minutes then you shouldnt even be on the coach. The same with red cards in key games especially when both were completely unavoidable. If you are winning or drawing the game with a few minutes to go and an opposition player is going to get away, fine, its understandable. But look at what Hoggs and Thomas's were for, both had a yellow that was completely unnecessary, yet despite us being in the perilous situation we are in, they thought it was acceptable.
I dont think we will get more than 2 more points this season (draw both our home games). After Preston I have no hope for today. If we concede first our record is that bad, only winning 1 game from behind all season against a Watford team that were in freefall when we played them. If we score first our record is again really bad, losing so many points from winning positions.
I did feel a little bit positive after Millwall at home, thinking such a late winner would galvanise us, just at the right time of the season with 5 games to go, but that Preston massacre just knocked every last bit out of me. I would say our luck will run out this season, but that would mean actually having some luck to run out of.
Anyway, almost time to put the bingo balls into the machine for Andre and see what players and formation we are going with today.

How can none of Ward, Healey or Radulovic be fit enough to start? It's a joke
Surely one can do 45 and another replace them early second half
Continuing with Burgzorg is going to get us relegated

Pearson right back I'd presume. That means a 3% pass accuracy and that the fans will be seeing a lot of the ball today

The chips are down, we’re looking for strong characters yet none of the ones with a bit of a niggle can start but are ok for the bench. Pitiful. We’re losing again. Never mind, can always win the next “must win” game. |

A bench containing a keeper, an attacking midfielder, 4 full backs and 3 strikers. Yet the starting XI has 1 full back and no strikers 🤔

Pearson is a poor right back, but not as bad as Jackson and Headley are at left back. Least worst option.

I know a lot are talking about how Bristol City annihilated Blackburn and that we need to be weary but have you seen the highlights? Every single goal (bar the 5th) was absolutely pathetic from a Blackburn point of view. Defensive errors and blunders put them 4-0 down. We are shit but we are at least somewhat organised at the back, especially if we get Lees in to sturdy things up a bit. I think we can shock Bristol today, they’ll be flying high but they’re due a shock. 3-1 town. Fucking come on Are we? We've conceded the third most goals in the division along with 4, 4 and 3 in our last six games. |

What the hell's wrong with Healey by now ?
Our ONLY decent finisher and he just cannot manage a start.
Our recruitment team should hang their heads in shame.

I used to ask this about Matos now I’m gonna ask it about Radulovic. Since the stoke game has he been that poor that he doesn’t deserve a start?

Now that hope has left the building we still have a little bit of that faith we clung on to.
Fingers crossed.

Oi you have to respect Burgzorg remember ! even when the team are gash you have to respect their gashness , why they  through interviews like naughty boys and don't seem to give a flying..... but yes respect them or Burgzorg might get angry or upset and be moody...This squad this season , how can you "respect" this bunch of guys, who fold like a deck of cards at any chance given. |

Well I thought we had little to no chance, we now have no chance. Burgzorg should not be playing for us full stop, he wont be here after 4 more games, he is the greediest bugger we have had playing for us in living memory and he seems like he wants respect after getting pumped away at Preston and doing fuck all. We have 3 strikers on the bench and none on the pitch AGAIN. Going down with a whimper. Dreadful team selections, dreadful tactics, a formation board that Darren Moore would be proud of. If we win today I will bare my arse on the town hall steps.
