Lord Robins's Stoke at the CBS on Saturday is the first of 12 remaining games, which could seal City's return to the PL after 25 years.

We can do this.

City are undefeated since the Tank was deployed.

Looking more and more like a masterstroke signing from Lampard.

What. A. Win.

Nine points clear. Twelve to play. With a GD which is worth an extra point, if we need it.

I want promotion.

But I also want......LED panels at the CBS.

Loads of grounds have them, and now we own the CBS, we'd take all the advertising revenue.

Here's my mockup, focused on the West Stand.

91 points is the average for 2nd place & auto promotion.

With 65 points and 13 games left, City need either 8 wins + 2 draws or 7 wins + 5 draws to get 91 points.

It could be fewer if the chasing pack drops points.

Let's bring PL football back home.

WBA made the same mistake as Boro - they brought midfielders to a Tank-fight vs Cov.

This is how it went for them:

Oh my word:

Boro 0 vs 0 Oxford
Millwall 1 vs 3 Pompey
Wrexham 5 vs 3 Ipswich
Hull 1 vs 3 QPR

and of course:

WBA 0 vs 2 City

What a great weekend for the City! ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah......that will do, City ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

โœ… Three points
โœ… Clean sheet
โœ… League double vs WBA
โœ… 9 points clear of 3rd (for now)
โœ… Jack is back (with a screamer of a goal)
โœ… Undefeated since the Tank joined

Time for a #skyblues stat-attack. This is based on the last 14 league games.

โš ๏ธ It doesn't make for great reading. Our away form has dropped off a cliff and until today we could rely on our home form.

Only ~20% of our shots were on target. Against an Oxford team who only had 10 men for the final 15 minutes.

And also, why aren't we playing this guy?

Centre-back.

Signed for ยฃ4M.

PL experience.

We've gone 8 games without a clean sheet.

If Woolfenden doesn't start vs. Oxford then I'm calling in MI5 and Interpol to investigate.

Games where City have taken the lead:

Preston (vs 10 men for ~60 mins) ๐ŸŸฐ
Saints ๐ŸŸฐ
Charlton ๐ŸŸฐ
Norwich โŒ
QPR โŒ

12 points dropped from a possible 15. We've lost the ability to kill games off.

No killer instinct? No promotion.

We will never have a better chance of PL promotion then this. So why are City are doing their best to screw this up? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This is the same team who were 13 points clear and set a club record of 6 clean sheets. What's happened to them?

Palace: So, Esse is doing really good for you, and we want him back.

City: Who?

Palace: Esse? Romain Esse? He's on loan to you.

City: [shrugs]

Palace: We sent him to you!

City: Dunno who you're talking about, sorry.

That's seven games without a clean sheet.

Seven.

Meanwhile, we signed a CB for ยฃ4M and he can't get into the team because......? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I'd settle tomorrow night for the most boring game ever, with just one target on target for either side and one goal - for us.

None of this 5-goal thriller nonsense, my heart can't take it. Just bring the points home, City - and keep a clean sheet.

Thank you, #SUFC. Misson complete, Agent O'Hare.

On Monday, City go to Norwich, 8 points clear of 3rd place.

City go 8 points clear after another home win, against a battling Millwall team who made us work hard for the points.

Boro play at Stoke tomorrow.

In the last 2 weeks, the following #PremierLeague, #Championship and #SPFL managers have lost their jobs:

Enzo Maresca
Rรบben Amorim
Wilfried Nancy
Jimmy Thelin
Ryan Mason

Nuno Espirito Santo? 10 games without a win at West Ham. ๐Ÿค”

The sacking season is well and truly here.

Cov: You'll only have 3 shots on target.
Brum: That will be enough. ๐Ÿน

And Thomas now misses the next 3 games. ๐ŸŸฅ

I want to witness the power of Doug King's fully armed and operational debit card this month. Because we need it.

"City look slightly stronger on paper and better set up to manage the game, but early kick-offs can flatten intensity and reduce margin for error."
