I know we should beat WBA all things being equal and that would more than likely secure our premiership status and it seems their cause is lost although Fulham had less points than they did this time last season and survived.
Everytime it seems we have something to strive for we fail to step up to the plate.
While Thursday is an important game as far as the season is concerned , Sunday could well turn out to be far more important.
I don't buy this we need to sacrifice a game for the sake of another one for one second.
Despite giving Fulham 3 gift chances through sloppy pathetic defending which we seem to do far too often in each and every game we participate in , in the first 10 minutes on Saturday we were 1-0 up against a team who had won one game all season away from home and scored 3 goals in their first 14 away games in the premiership.
We had the cattle and personnel on the bench to put the game to rest despite perhaps being somewhat fortunate to be infront at half time.
We were piss poor after half time and deserved nothing from the game and we will lose against WBA if we continue to play with that attitude and approach to our football on COMS on Sunday.
We go into Thursday on the back on 3 defeats and win lose or draw on Thursday I would expect nothing short of 100 per cent and an easy win on Sunday no matter who we start and anything less and we in for a fight for surviival that very few players look likely to be relishing.
Indeed.
If our form were to implode during the next two weeks, I wonder what odds on Sven being back in his hotel (in Manchester) to see us out of the season & safety in the Prem, while our esteemed new owners (who have only my respect) go about deciding who to give the car keys to for the next two to three years minimum.
I cannot see Sven returning to manage the club even for a brief stint as it appears his stints are now at any job he takes on after being asked to (LOL).
Relegation fight or no fight ( hopefully ) the owners will and should stick with Hughes for the remainder of the season then decide ASAP after the last game whether he is the right person in their eyes to be gven what would appear to me anyway a stay of execution.
Short of some major upheaval from the best of our playing group some of which are playing for their futures no doubt in the remaining 6 matches Hughes will stay on.
We have a history no matter the circumstances on or off the pitch of making the simple seem difficult and this season is no exception.
How sides like Wigan, West Ham , Fulham and even Spurs could be ahead of us and IMO all will finish ahead of us this season along with a couple currently below us in the league is a mystery to me but such is the lot of a City supporter.
