Surely its between Hartpury & Richmond for the drop? Yorkshire will climb us, Donny and London Scottish could easily get sucked in but I don’t think Cov will nor Donny.
Lost 23-17
Poor game very stop start, Donny played the officials well and we were far from our best.
Defeat next week in a very tough game v Cornish Pirates will keep us around the relegation fringes.
Not too sure how they kept 15 men on the pitch continually collapsing Cov rolling maul and the taking out of Halaifinoua in the air was possible red yet no card.
Disappointing day at the office!

Team for tomorrow v Cornish pirates at the BPA - massive loss Ram missing due to personal reasons but hope everything is ok.
Big chance for Nutley to finally make an impact!
It’ll be interesting to see the buck of the pitch after tonight’s forecast rain and snow showers and the fact Cov Rugby League are playing Leeds on it tonight in a friendly.
I’m going for a 10 point loss.

Erghh this mornings weather has killed off any optimism I had this morning, up your jumper kinda day, do not fancy us one bit! 
Won 18-17 kick last min!
Wow what a game didn’t see that coming even with 10 minutes left!
If they (Cornish Pirates) were a football side they’d be Neil Warnock Sheffield United!
Great win!

loudest individual roar I’ve heard at the BPA!
Not sure how come Fenner kicked it but wasn’t against it as the time as Maisey hadn’t been in best form last few weeks.
Thought like Donny last week CP had done a ‘job’ on us!
Better performance v a better oppo, strange game, which we were always behind the 8ball and they were happy to kill the game!
Fantastic win and should (should) see us safe now!
Any points at Bedford are a bonus next week before our next home game in 3 weeks against bottom places Hartpury.

Needed that win.
For info, that puts Cov on the same points/wins as Ealing made all season when relegated in 2013/14. And that's (28) the highest total accrued by any team relegated ever from the Championship (ie since 09/10.
Safe? Too early to say, but looking good.

“Coventry have also confirmed that prop Biyi Alo has been loaned to Wasps on a short-term basis.”
Nice to see we are helping out our feeder club ?!
Bedford away tomorrow, can Cov get their first away win? I’m unsure, narrow 6 point loss I reckon and a point gained.
Jake Sharp starts his first game of this spell for Bedford having left Cov before Xmas after a dissapointing few months here, will have a blinder tomorrow no doubt!

Cov away at league leader London Irish in the cup quarter final today.
LI have certainly put a ‘weaker’ side out than if it was a league game so if Cov are on top of their game they may just have a chance!

It’ll be even weaker for Saturday by the sound showing of the number of injuries picked up!
Bobby Knox in for the long haul. http://www.coventryrugby.co.uk/2019/02/05/rob-knox-commits-to-coventry-rugby-long-term-deal/
Good lad, delighted he’s made the step up to Championship, I’m sure at the start of the season he probably wasn’t in the long term plans but he gives everything for the club!
How many of the first team squad are Coventry born not many is there?
