_____________________________
Ipswich DRAW 38 pts
Stoke DRAW 34pts
Southampton LOST 31 pts

8pt gap to second
13pt gap to 3rd

A perfect match day with 4/4 rivals dropping points whilst we took advantage with a win!

With that bad loss Southampton are now 20pts behind cov and are ELIMINATED from our rivals list!

Sad to see that we have already eliminated “Souenity FC”, thought they could be real challengers.

Can we eliminate Stoke too and add Hull?

 

[Jamesimus]

Can we eliminate Stoke too and add Hull?

No, too soon to eliminate Stoke for some people.

 

[covcity4life]

20pt cut off

As for Hull Preston etc

We could add them. But are we just doing it to pad the list? I'll have a think around fa cup time

 

[clint van damme]

Can we eliminate Stoke too and add Hull?

I think so,though with the exception of the cup game, (and some might want them to win that), we could do with Stoke having a decent 5 or 6 week spell given their fixtures.

 

[Gleneagles65]

Absolutely no one.

 

[MikeyMoo]

It’s still just borough and Ipswich but they seem to be playing for third….

 

[Sick Boy]

There’s no way Stoke are our rivals at this point.

 

[Gint11]

Boro and Ipswich. No one else.

Patience. Don't wanna use all my top quality AI pics in one day

 

[Robinshio]

Swansea are closer to Ipswich than we are to Ipswich. Swansea are 20th

 

[Ccfcisparks]

could we add Wrexham to this

 

[covcity4life]

Managers doing a good job...

2nd Middlesbrough LOST 43pts
_____________________________
Ipswich WON 41 pts
Stoke LOST 34pts

8pt gap to second
10pt gap to 3rd

As good as we could expect after our result earlier in the day with no one but Ipswich taking advantage

A great position to be. Whisky today is nothing to be happy about it may be even more reason to expect we will get promoted?

Hull beating Middlesbrough did us a massive favour.
Borough fans must be even more pissed off than our fans tonight, not only did they miss out on a golden opportunity to close the gap, but they've now got an in form Ipswich breathing down their neck.

And Hull breathing down their necks.

Time to add Hull to this I think.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

The pundits on CBS Sports are starting to turn against us and saying we’re arrogant and not playing for each other and that the wheels are coming off. Hope they’re wrong.

Really don’t know what we’ve done to earn that sort of criticism.

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Watford maybe

Plus goal difference! Currently worth a point

 

[clint van damme]

Ipswich and Hull both have far more favourable January's than we do.

 

[djr8369]

Looking at the xG table Hull and to a lesser extent Boro are massively over performing their xG. Combined with their squad Ipswich are probably the only genuine contenders?

That sort of thing should correct itself eventually but hasn’t yet.

 

[djr8369]

Yep. We’ve been dropping down the xG table for a while now and caught up with us.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well we’ve had a bloody difficult few months and had illness running through the side.

 

[djr8369]

Sure, my only point is the stats predicted the results and I suspect that will be the same for a few other teams.

1st Coventry DRAW 52pts
------------------------------------
2nd Ipswich WON 44 pts
_____________________________
Middlesbrough LOST 43pts
Stoke WON 37pts

8pt gap to second
9pt gap to 3rd

2/4 rivals won. Ipswich are a worry for sure but as @clint van damme has said before we actually want stoke to have a great month or so

It's still a very healthy lead and buys us time to get back into form

It really could be much worse if results went badly in other games last 2 matchdays. We have to take heart from the luck we're getting even when we don't win ourselves.

Though I would rule Stoke put as an auto contender.

20pts!!

However after January as games run out it will be 15pt gap rule

And march will be 10pt gap rule

May add Hull Preston Watford etc after next games. Don't rly worry about them but gives me more AI pics to make lol

Said on another thread, not really too worried about any of them but I do expect Ipswich to overtake us

Ya they are picking up steam. One momentum shift can change everything though

 

[SkyblueTexan]

If we don’t get autos, I don’t think this team is mentally strong or confident enough to go up via the playoffs.

 

[clint van damme]

Would obviously like to go up as champions, but going up the priority.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Our biggest rival at the moment is ourselves.
