When pundits discuss the gap they always mention the game in hand reduces it to 8 point and then the Dippers have to travel to the Etihad to make it just 5 points , what i dont understand is the Dippers havent won at our place in the league since 2015 and we have won three and drawn two of those games in that time , so why are they so optimistic ?
Add to the above the Dippers record over the last 8 meetings between the teams we have won 4 drew 3 and lost just one , hardly a endorsment that they are coming to the Etihad in April to give us a good hiding.
Maybe the media have to be able to cling on to the hope that Klippety's team will turn up and give us a game , when in fact we could have the league won by then if we continue this winning streak until April 9th , perhaps the Dippers could then give us a guard of honour
