acooling08 Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 Just noticed that we haven't been beaten in the league this season by more than one goal. These are our 8 defeats this season: Charlton 1-2 Blackburn 1-2 Wolves 1-2 Crystal Palace 1-2 Watford 1-2 Leeds 0-1 Millwall 0-1 Cardiff 0-1 Good sign that we aren't getting well beaten even when we play poorly. Ironically Burton in the cup is still our heavist defeat at 2-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 Was going to say - now you've mentioned it, it's imminent we're to be beaten 6-0 and 6-1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyFromLE Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 Defensively we are extremely good. If we had taken previous chances, just image where we could be right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyFromLE Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 Where we were at back in October Even if we had just have equalised, 8 points! Would take us 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox42 Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 Even if we had just have equalised, 8 points! Would take us 2nd. The sad truth is, we could've and should've won most of those games, especially Blackburn and Cardiff and got a point with the rest. No excuse tbh.

ealingfox Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 Proud to say we currently boast the meanest defence in the Championship, but most teams do usually take at least one beating over the course of a season, so don't be surprised if we do have to take one at some point.

Up next for us is at Ashton Gate. I fear it'll be this game. A goal fest is on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 I always knew we would be solid at the back once Pearson got his own players in. It was always going to be about taking chances, just like when he was manager previously. I am also proud to say we have conceded the least goals, and I never thought we've only lost by the one goal. Decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox42 Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 I see your point, they're humans though like the rest of us, prone to errors. Yeah, at least we're discussing about narrow defeats, not home defeats to Bristol and Millwall and the likes... Could've been much worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 It is quite remarkable really. 2 goals is the most we've let in in any game (other than burton Albion) we really are improving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable. I think Pearson has put together a really good team - our progress and confidence compared to a year ago is amazing and I think most City fans should realise this. Really think this could be our year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain...

jamesmilner Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 id rather be thrashed once than lose 8 games in the first part of the season like we have . you can learn from a good thrashing . 8 defeats means more to me than not having a thrashing .

You sir are a: Well yeah, but he's right. Scoring more goals away from home is undoubtedly the biggest challenge facing us in 2013. It will be the difference between getting a place in the play-offs and making a decent effort at the automatics (which still seems to be the implicit goal of this season as far as I can see).

Sods Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 Looking at that we possibly should be at least 5 points better off, Cardiff should have been a win, Charlton a draw and Blackburn a draw. All ifs and buts however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonaldinho Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 It's not just this season, we've only lost by more than one goal since Pearson returned - Reading away back in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's A Knockeart! Posted 3 January 2013 Share Posted 3 January 2013 I think it's more of a sad statement that we really struggle to pull teams back when behind, even by one goal. We're good at turning draws to wins, but not losses to draws. Sort that out and we would be right up there. Not conceding first seems to be vital to us.
