    We are a shoe in for the drop unless we sign 3 decent defenders. I bet ODonnell has made more saves than any other keeper this year In the entire football league

    If our fans are happy with an away point to one of the worst teams in the division after taking the lead 3 times then I suppose you'd be happy if we never won away again this season, because you'd struggle to set a lower benchmark where we should actually be winning a game of football.

    We got away with it because the others around us lost. We need to be winning the Scunthorpe and Walsall games now though. If we could take six points from those games then a point at Plymouth wouldn’t be so bad. Can we win those two home games??? If we can beat Oxford......

    100% spot on.

    I've said many City fans lack ambition and now just are hopeful.

    A 3 all draw and taking the lead 3 times against a poor team is a poor result.

    We all know if you score 3 goals away from home then we should be winning the game.

    The only way out of this is by showing ambition and knowing what standards we should be setting.

    We need back to back league wins in our next 2 matches - no excuses!!

    Has anyone had a look back to when Parky was appointed and his first season with city?

    The similarities are there and we won 3 game in a row in December after a bad few weeks with losses and draws. Not worked it out but we may have had more points than we do now and only 2 go down in that league.

    But I think we are turning the corner but we need a similar run from our next two home games. 7 from 9 would be enough.

    And what is all this about fans lacking ambition? What does that even mean and how in any way does that effect results? Baffling.

    How would we show this “ambition”? Boo them off for a 3-3 draw? No idea what it even means. Everyone wants to win football matches but draws away are acceptable in our position. We must win our home games, regardless of who they are against. If we continue to score goals we will win games. Defence needs work and new signings but I am sure the new assistant and Hopkin are working on it.
