Interesting to note that with 20 league games to go for

Mon Jan 19, 2026 1:05 pm

Interesting to note that with 20 league games to go for City just 6 are vs the current Top 9 and 5 of these 6 are at our CCS home. The only away game vs current leading sides is Huddersfield.

What a great position to be in.

That is interesting; particularly after a tough December and January, where we played mostly against potential promotion candidates

We have it in our own hands now, so there can be no let up and I’m confident that BBM will keep his squad focused, although watching them regularly, I think they are more than motivated and together than any Bluebird squad I’ve seen for some time!

Just look how they celebrated David Turnbull’s spectacular goal ‘as a team’ at Bradford on Saturday! :clap: :ayatollah:

Would.be nice to have it in the bag in terms of the automatic places when we play Lincoln in March.

Can't take anything for granted, a four or five game winless run and we could fall out of the top two.

Personally I don't see that happening, never know though.

But a great position to be in with 20 games left.

With "only" 20 games left and if we only win half of them, it still gives us 85 points even if we lose all of the other 10. Not a bad position to be in. Games will soon quickly start running out for the chasing pack.

Last two season i believe anything above 88 points would get you promoted But 23 season 97 was needed for automatic promotion

We are the only team averaging two points a game,if everyone plays the last 20 games with the same average points 85 plus will be promoted.

We will win more than 10/20 which gives us 85points.

Could be less if they get draws against each other.

The Blues are going up as CHAMPIONS :bluebird: :bluebird:

6 point lead - with a better goal difference than the others :bluebird:

Of the 20 matches left, 10 wins and 5 draws will see us up; Probably as champions.
Hold onto all of the current squad in this transfer window and this appears quite likely.
Start selling our young talent and the chance reduces.
