Oh yeh how misguided we were 😂
 

Nobody has actually suggested we’re getting relegated, just that our 5-year trajectory is enough for it to be concerning.

 

’Getting promoted’ threads might signal balance to you, but in reality they’d be ignorant. ‘Getting relegated’ threads might signal knee jerk reaction to you, but they have been consistently justified by fact.

Agreed. Saying we should be wary of it based on the past few years is not saying it will happen.

 

And the forum doesn’t need a thread about promotion, it is clear many are arrogantly just assuming we will get promoted as they did last season. It’s across all topics without being obviously labelled.

Part of the problem comes from these newly promoted teams full of confidence which belies how good they really are but are enjoying the first blooms of their success now playing in a (former) Premier League stadium in front of a large crowd. It is their Cup Final against the Premier League/FA Cup/Community Shield winners.

This is a problem City need to overcome but playing slow negative football bores the hell out of me, looks arrogant and is simply negative. We need to demonstrate our skills by exposing the opponents weaknesses and taking the game to them. Passing the ball around the back in our own half or worse still our own penalty area will not do that.

We played the vast majority of the game in MK Dons half. It was almost attack v defence.

True, and we failed to breach it. Great score for them.

Calling it as I see it. You do you.

Valid post as I think we hit hard ground rock bottom so hopefully the bounce up starts and stays.

Starting to think the quality of the opposition is so bad that we're going to get away with it. Can barely be considered professional football given the amount of unpunished suicidal defending so far.

 

Joseph, Page, Braybrooke and Alves are also just that good that they can't help but drag our heads above water in spite of everything and everyone else.
