Apparently every club that has had 55 points or more after 26 have gone on to get promotion to the Prem. So there's a kiss of death!

This season v last season at this stage.

How did we match Middelsbrough on points?

11 points behind and they had a game in hand.

I still remember them picking up good results. Albeit the odd blip.

A lot less draws at this point, this suggests a larger number of points gained over the season which may increase the points required for the title/promotion/playoffs/avoid relegation

We went unbeaten after the Cardiff defeat in mid February! Really got to beat Cardiff as Leeds next set of six games they will easily win 5.

The manager decided he was too big for them and decided to have an extra long winter break if i remember right.

Oddly enough, looking at those tables the main thing i've realised...

..what has happened to Bristol City? They were flying at the start of the season and now they're getting drawn in to the battle at the bottom.

And look at the goal difference, didn't we miss out by 2?

So 45 Points from 20 Games if I've worked it out right.

Another run like that this season from the Cardiff game and we'd have 102 points. Surely that's enough.

City friends are in despair. The late goals conceded thing is becoming a bit of a joke and risks becoming a real millstone until they can gain confidence at seeing a game out. Lee Johnson is making comments about needing more quality, which is scarcely doing his players' confidence a lot of good. Lansdown is not a natural sacker, but can't see how can he let this continue for long. Shades of Sami...
