No I wasn't. I said "if Man City do win, it won't be by a landslide". 2-1 isn't a landslide.
You said it would be aggregate plus 6 to Man City, and then that I had lost the plot. You might still be right on the aggregate, but I don't believe they will. I predict (sadly for Bristol City), 0-0 in the second leg. BC could win it, and I hope they do, but I just feel Man City will send a team to defend that slim lead.

And no, I hadn't - and haven't - lost the plot.

I cant see us keeping a clean sheet against them.
We will need to either take it to penalties or score 3 at home.
Its going to bloody difficult but after seeing last nights performance I'm more inclined to think it can happen than I was beforehand.
Still on an adrenaline high from the game, going to be exhausted later today but it was worth it.

First goal is going to be massively important, you scored and it's definitely game on.
They score it and it's more or less game over.
I actually think they are more dangerous on the counter attack away from home so I think it will be a City away win.
BUT you are definitely still in it and can have a real go at home.
Good luck for the 2nd leg, but even if you don't do it, what a dream Cup run, memories to last forever and a team you are rightly proud of.

Nice post, thanks. I'm inclined to agree with you as well but we'll give it a right good go.

Last team to win the league cup outside the top flight??

Turned out to be a pretty good weekend for us in the end. Utb

 

[Luke_1884]

We're in a scary bit of form at the minute, I don't even know what to think. Fair play to Rowett.

 

[SF_]

Play offs are wide open.

Love it.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

We're having our bad run right now, yet still have a nice cushion inside the playoffs because nobody else has managed to put a run together. Big chance for Derby to put some real daylight between us next week.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Two 0-0's in a row. Time to bottle it...

 

[Ciderup]

Meh. After the lord mayors show from us today, very flat.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Any Derby fans here post dcfcfans.uk?

Some of their fans saying were in bad form and about to bottle it.. We're unbeaten in 14 games ffs, hardly bottling it. 10 points gap still lads.

None of us think you are going to bottle it, and although you have dropped some points over the last couple of games, we are still a long way from catching you. The person who started that thread is a special case.

Watch out lads, the villa train is starting to let off steam ...choo choo . Wolves and rams are no match for the lions of Staffordshire. Now I'll tell myself to shut the fuck up.

 

[markwwfc1992]

be4vis?

Yeah noticed he was one of them.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Yeah noticed he was one of them.

He's 'behind the door' as they say, can't fault his enthusiasm though.

 

[Luke_1884]

Nowt wrong with B4, genuinely a guy with special needs. Fair play to him for his optimism.

The other 99.9% of the forum know we won’t catch you.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Didn't know that to be fair, apologies.

 

[City169]

So are we, but a different scary

That said, things feel different to last season. Each of the defeats this time has a bit of context, except perhaps todays. Fridays game will be huge.

 

[Rammy]

Past the 50 points mark. I can no longer predict relegation ffs.

Could be a record high season...

 

[markwwfc1992]

I'd like Rowett for England one day.

 

[Rammy]

Tough. He’s staying here forever.

Staffordshire?

 

[villa loyal]

Staffordshire?

Yep, you didn't think we had any fans in brum did you?

 

[villa loyal]

I'd like Rowett for England one day.

Or maybe if it goes tits up for Bruce, he could come to his beloved villa.
