    Barnsley was a tough start to the eight game cycle but at least its out of the way. Six wins required from the next seven are certainly possible. A three goal advantage over Southend required to claw back the minus from Saturday.

    What eight game cycle is this ? Eight games since beating Oxford (Which represents 16 points from a possible 24) ?
    There are 19 games left ............ So again - What cycle ?

    Burton away is the only game we may struggle in should we replicate the December form.

    I like these grouping of games threads more when @River_City_Bantam@River_City_Bantam does them. They are a bit more factual and informative.

    Over the next 7 games, of your 8 game cycle, I'd like to see us get 20 points

    Here are our next 7 games given we lost at Barnsley with my predictions,
    Southend H Win
    Burton A Lose
    Shrewsbury H Win
    Wycombe A Lose
    Fleetwood H Win
    Plymouth H Win
    Walsall A Draw
    13 points from a possible 21, that will put us on 40 points from 34 games, some are saying 54 points are a minimum required so we need 15 points from 12 games, I think that is achievable.

    I don't disagree but I'm being cautious and going on the low side rather than the high side, earlier in the season we were beaten by Wycombe at home and they have improved since we played them, yes so have we but that is mainly home form I think we are still susceptible away from home, Walsall are getting dragged into a possible relegation fight so they will be fighting for the lives, I do hope your correct with your predicted 6 wins.

    focus on winning the home games, and try pick up whatever we can away from home, as a 'bonus'. 13 or 14 points would be terrific from the list of games Bronco has posted.

    4 home wins on the bounce? Not being negative but I just can't see it. That would be a straight 8 on the bounce!

    As you say weve just done 4 on the trot, obviously its all about finding our A game again but I can see us going undefeated at home until the end of the season.

    This thread is pure fantasy. We have x amount of games before the close of season, we need to go for maximum points every match, at the end it will be between us and how our rivals perform that will decide. That is my experience of being involved in relegation battles.

    Terrible start and typical of City to make things difficult. The next six games are winnable on paper but games are won on grass. Drop O'Donnell as teams are now shooting on sight as he either lets them in or fumbles the ball. If Wright is staying then he should be back in the centre as Hopeless Akpan is a bottler. Too many sulking because Payne is getting £12 grand a week.

    Decent effort at trolling with the "drop O'Donnell part but you've made it too obvious by including Wright.

    Must do better.

    At what point was O Donnell at fault yesterday for the goals they would have scored more if it wasn't for him. If you think Wilson is the answer give your head a right big wobble.
