They do but it rarely goes to form at the end of the season. Wrexham denying Ipswich for the 2nd time in 2 games so far. Expecting Leicester to start picking up the occasional result.
10 more wins does it (3 Viewers)

They have been doing better against Middlesbrough than they did against us.
Watch the late winner come in now

Doesn't matter so much after Ipswich lose away to continue their fantastic away form

If Ipswich have a bad run we could be in a situation where by late march we are all but promoted as crazy as that sounds.I just can't see Millwall hull keeping pace.
It's 2 from 3 for autos

Nope, 18 points wont be enough. We need 21/22 to be certain.

Welcome to Coventry City FC Mark IIThey still have Ipswich and then Wrexham last game of the season.
We have Onyeka
Now with added Tank

Come on Pete. You're normally middle of the road in everything
65 points with 13 games to go is 78 points with just win 1 lose 2. Our home form alone has us nearly there.
I'm not going to count my chickens because I don't have any. But our home form added to the signing of Onyeka should give you a little comfort. A class player with a class Championship side.

Ipswich had 7 games in 22 days. Now 6 games in 21 days after a defeat. They have been poor away.
Onyeka is the key. If s class player continues to show his class we will get promoted and he gets to show how he was a big part of Brentford staying up and becoming a cemented side in the Prem.

Watford is a pretty daunting fixture for them in midweek, but the home games are very winnable. Portsmouth are in excellent form, it's a pity that game got postponed when it did.

We have 10 pts in the last six games. If we project that form we get 20 pts in 12 games putting us on 85 with the final game to play. It could go to the wire and I'd like to be going at 2pts per game really. Onyeka seems to have settled the side but we didn't show a lot of attacking intent yesterday against a poor WBA side. Haji didn't even get scraps!

Ipswich are like us. Solid at home but not so good away. 11 points behind but with 2 games in hand. If Onyeka does make the difference in our away games and we keep up with our home form it wouldn't take much to make the gap too big. Even if they win both of their games in hand and 5 points gap with just 12 games to go is decent.
I just don’t get this take. We were professional yesterday and had more gears to move through. Also preserved energy for Wednesday. Didn’t need to do any more than that.

Certainly didn’t need to go hung ho and leave ourselves open at the back
They had two good chances and a couple of half chances from corners

85-88 points has only once been good enough for Automatics in the last 10 years, I think. History tells us we're going to need the points.

One from 3-6 is gonna have to go on a hell of a run to get 88

Best way to look at it now is win all the home games and couple of wins or draws away from home it’ll be enough.

Boro have just done it. We can't rely on the others falling short.
Sky Blue Pete
Well-Known Member
Can’t rely on others but if they got 2pts a game from here which is an ask
Boro end up on 88
Milwall on 82
Ipswich on 84
Hull on 80
Wrexham on 77
Were on 65 so we do need more points but 85-88 looks about right for top 2

Game was done by halftime really, the main thing is that we didn't then go on to drop points as we have over recent months
RoboCCFC90

We definitely need 85 as you and others have said Pete. 7 more wins will do it. Not really arsed about winning the Championship in truth, it would be awesome, but just want autos.
Speedie's Head
Well-Known Member
Hope so. I want to see 2pts per game certainly.
There's going to be a right ding dong for the playoff spots with Blues and Wrexham in it now too. That'll push the standard up.

I'm looking for and expecting 90 pts - that's positive! It's all those hoping to sneak in with 82 or something that are scared.

Bigger test on Wednesday. shef Utd have turned it around and are looking at a late Playoff push. they are a lot stronger at home and Ohare has been their player of the season so far. Their defence is still shaky though a little like us but scoring a few goals.
would happily take a draw now but if we really have changed our away form with Onyeka coming in there is no reason to not be looking for three points. If we can keep Hamer and Ohare quiet they dont have much creativity after that and we will need to be on it from the start like the boro game. Can see a few goals in this with both defences not great and good going forward

Last 7 games we have 13pts ; 1.85pts per match
Maintain that form gets us to 87.

We didn't show a lot of attacking intent because we didn't need to, we were 2-0 up. We've learnt from having thrown away leads in previous away fixtures by getting caught on the break.

1.86pts also happens to be the average under Lampard since he was appointed.
