An 8th place finish seems likely as the players will be deflated going into the weekend. It could be the difference between keeping Bruno or not so I really want to be proven wrong. 7th would be a very respectable season given our injury and suspension woes, especially as it should mean European football next season when City win the FA Cup (surely). 6th would be excellent, though unlikely now.

We still have a long and difficult journey ahead of us to make it where we want to be. Lots of difficult decisions, savvy transfer windows and luck required under the current financial restrictions. Overall a good but frustrating season.
