Can't have any stony-faced sitting on hands waiting for us to win this one – the opposition are too good and the stakes way too high. Going into the final 10 games with our noses still in front, and the chance to achieve something truly generational, would be absolutely huge. It'll be a tough one tonight: Bristol City's games are almost always tight and decided by a one-goal margin; they know how to trouble good teams and I think their manager will fancy a crack at this fixture too. Was very impressed with them away at West Ham a few weeks back. It'd be nice to have one of Burns and Broadhead on the bench to mix things up a bit if we need because I don't think we're about to have anything handed to us. Time to crank up the volume and roar us towards something special – we'll regret it if we don't. [Post edited 5 Mar 2024 9:19]

Good to see someone stepping up now that Unstable Blue seems to have retired. | | | |

I can see us making a real statement tonight, with Hull vibes.
3-0 and a third successive clean sheet.
Second clean sheet! [Post edited 5 Mar 2024 9:46]

We won't get a third successive clean sheet tonight, what with our last results being 2-0 and 3-1. |  |

If it's a sticky game against obdurate opposition, it's important that the crowd don't start groaning at every misplaced pass if things don't go our way. But that's hard to control as the stress of this amazing season rises. |  |

Some loud and sustained renditions of Blue Army like Barnsley away would be good. Get those goosebumps up 💙 |  |

They also looked very good when they beat Southampton 3-1.
One of a bunch of about x8 sides outside the top 4 who look excellent on their day, but can’t string any consistency together.
No result would surprise me tonight, it will largely depend on which version of Bristol City turn up.
I fancy it will be another rollercoaster that’s hanging in the balance after 85 mins. Been so many of them this season, not sure I can survive many more.

Think it will be more like which Town turns up, the one against Rotherham or the one that turned up against Hull/Brum recently. |  | | |

'2-1 to the runners up' seemed to last for ages on Saturday and I always think that makes a difference.
As you say, hopefully some long-drawn out Blue Army chants will be on the menu. |  | | |

It’s on Sky, a doubled edged sword. I get to watch the game but Sky seems to jinx us.
Let’s hope the proper town turns up.
At least we know the pitch will suit us.

He certainly didn’t post anything worthy of a ban. He stated that he was around 50 years old, but a lot of his posts could have come from a pre-pubescent. | | | |

You're absolutely right and great use of the word 'obdurate'!
However, I sometimes think too much is read into the groans that go into misplaced passes. It is a natural reaction of disappointment, not necessarily disapproval. I expect even the players do it at the time, but of course it sounds worse when nearly 30,000 do it at the same time.
Still, hopefully there won't be too many misplaced passes, but like you I hope whatever happens the crowd are supportive. | |

Really? They look out of sorts and not happy times with Liam Manning. Im confident for a good win - the boys are solid and professional and they know what to do. We have a good record at home midweek too | | | |

Miss him too. His manic optimism and cheery outlook was a good counter to my doomy cynicisms. Come back, UB! Maybe he’s saving himself for one last hurrah at end of season | |

Just from memory I have totted up our results this season when we've been on Sky (the less said about the Beeb, the better...).
I make it 3 wins from 3 on the red button, but it's not so good when on the main channel, but that is mostly down to Sky picking a lot of our tougher games. We've won 4, drawn 5 and lost 2.
So overall 26 points from 14 games. Not too shabby considering it covers 2 games vs Leicester, and away at Leeds and WBA! | | | |
