Most of our fans wouldn’t know what fight till the game is won means, as we only ever get half arsed PUSBs nowadays that die out at Tottenham or Chelsea….
The team has been shit for 2 months and the crowd and atmosphere has been shit for longer.

Football is a funny game that can change very quickly and unexpectedly. We have 2 home games which we are capable of winning. Boro have Sheff Utd away then obviously our game. It is quite possible we are 4 or 6 points ahead of Boro after our game. And their fans would feel like we do now.

I fall into the camp of those who are worried about what has happened to us in the past couple of months because (a) I love this club, which I have supported for 63 years, and - as I turn 71 in a couple of weeks - am fearful that, if we don't come up this season, I may never see them in the top flight again and (b) the contrast between how we were up the the end of November and since then is frankly astonishing. We have gone from dominating the league to having the form of relegation candidates.
I would probably feel better if we were in our current position having played at a reasonably consistent and decent level throughout the season. It is the fall from brilliant to rubbish that is doing my head in. I just hope that FL can find the answer quickly and that we can perhaps get a couple of players in who can make a difference, although my optimism on that front is fading as well.
Life was ever thus as a Sky Blues fan! At least, even if we don't get promoted this season, things are still a million times better than they were. It's not that long ago that we had terrible owners, were spiralling down the league pyramid, thought we might go out of existence and didn't even play in Coventry. Looking back at that, I've just cheered myself up a bit

Some reinforcements could give us such a boost
Not players like Markelo though. They have to be oven ready and able to slot in immediately.

We desperately needed reinforcements in CM and defence so we bring in Markelo whose not even match fit and a winger.

The reaction to the QPR loss is incredible to be frank. I can only conclude that people actually believed we would just blow this league away. It was never going to happen. This is a dogfight of a league.

I don't think.many did what they didn't expect was the poor performances , a wide open defence and a midfield with all the pace of an OAP.

Even fucking Lesta are signing midfielders, Joe Arebo on loan from Saints. How difficult is it to get just one fucker in? Doug is playing a dangerous, stupid game

Why not plat a more defensive game when we got the lead? Frank plays us too open and look what happens

Why? We’ve conceded soft goals for 3 years. We play with a back 2 and chanced our arm. Rushworth has kept us in endless games and we had a period where everything came off at the other end. Anyone could see we were ridiculously open and now it’s hurt us a couple of times.

How many points clear should a team be before the fans can start expecting to do well? Clearly 13 wasn’t enough so would 20 do the trick?
You’re right there, according to the TV coverage I watched yesterday Rushworth has stopped more goal bound chances than any other keeper in the championship. Speaks volumes for how open and vulnerable we have become.
We have to change the set up , numerous recent performances have shown things are not working out.

I mean mate you have to be the most clueless fooker on here and that's saying something.
'and now it's hurt us a couple of tines'
We've been playing shit and gradually falling apart for a couple of months.
This tactic has been found out, it doesn't work any more. It has to change especially away from home.
It's not that difficult to understand.

I think it’s you that is clueless buddy. You make the exact point I’ve made. We’ve played how we’ve played all season but just got away with it. We haven’t in the last two games.Now that is fairly easy to understand - surely.

I think others have rightly pointed out, and the QPR game illustrates this succinctly, is that the rest of the league have worked us out.
My take on what I have seen is that the players cannot adapt to that reality. They cannot up their game to overcome it.

If we were playing anything like before I would agree, but it’s so much more disjointed and slow, mixed in with aimless hoofs up the pitch.

Definitely seems like a mental thing to me. Compare the first half away at Southampton or the away performances at Stoke and even Middlesbrough and it’s night and day. Personally think that home loss to Ipswich knocked something out of us and we’ve really struggled to recover.
