When/will they fall away. They've been playing above expectations all season, and fair play to them. Everyone seems to still count them out as serious contenders for an auto promotion spot, myself included at times. But will they fall away or maintain this charge for the final stretch? Gary Johnson has achieved nothing less than amazing there this season, and is my pick for manager of the season. They haven't dropped off yet, and i wouldn't be suprised if they didn't either...... Thoughts...? Oh. Forgot to add. Bloody hope they lose each game going forward and only get draws against the other top teams (including us obviously ;D )

theyve had a very impressive season...as have we.
if you look at their run-in though until the end of the season, i think that they have the toughest of the top 4.
and i reckon theyll end up 4th/5th. would love to see them go up with us though!

Bristol are 3rd in the form league behind ourselves and Plymouth. They have been playing above all expectations all season, but so have we if we are absolutely honest with ourselves.

I agree with RAF we have both played above our expectations set at the start of the season. I watched them against palace the other Monday and they looked ordinary but still managed to get a result. youv'e got to give them credit for their never say die attitude (a bit like us really)
I would like them to be in 2nd behind us when we play them in April what a match that would be....

with us 6 points clear of 3rd place. Now that would be a game to remember.

Bloody hope they lose each game going forward and only get draws against the other top teams (including us obviously ;D ) I think the same could be said for your lot or were you expecting to be top of the CCC in the first week of March? I think because it's our first season everyone is surprised but I always thought we'd be mid-table at worse. Team spirit and togetherness have carried us far but you don't stay in the top 6 all season on these qualitys alone so we also must have some good players . As for having the hardest run in I think thats nonsense, anyone can beat anyone in this league and IMO playing a team fighting for there lifes to avoid relegation could possibly be tougher than going to a bigger club in mid-table with nothing to play for. Top 6 finish is the least we derserve. We won't stop snapping at your heals ;D
