Match Thread Coventry City - Sheffield Wednesday Match Thread - Saturday 11th Apr (39 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Had Southampton at 10/3 for promotion. WishId put a silly couple of quid on for the autos.
Couple more wins like last night and you'll make money on the cash out

You still might get similar odds on Norwich to make the playoffs.

Think they've left themselves a bit too much to do.

Think the top 6 is set now, though in what order I'm not sure other than 1st spot.

People thought the same about Southampton and autos. Maybe worth a few quid.

only if you don't mind not seeing that money again, there will be slip ups for them once they the games start coming thick and fast.

We're 1.08 to beat Sheffield Wednesday on the site I use. That's put a quid on to win 8p Even clubs like Barcelona are bigger odds against poor sides. Expecting us to win isn't complacency but reality. They have our team spirit but not skill.

Whilst on about odds... they have Ipswich 40/1 to finish 1st. Worth a nibble for those who are still worried about us finishing 1st. They have us at 1/200. That's a good profit for the bookies.

My 'stupid' bet on Southampton to finish 2nd at 100/1 is looking slightly more promising after just 1 game. Their 1-5 demolition of team Hollywood has put their odds down to 18/1. Ipswich are 2/5, Middlesbrough 7/2 and Millwall at 10/1.

I put £10 on Southampton to finish 2nd last week at 100 to 1 cash out is £63.29

You must be tempted

Probably wait until after the Norwich v Ipswich game.

 

[Captain Dart]

Wednesday are on the edge of a precipice, they are in a holding pattern till someone comes in and builds a new stadium. They'll probably bounce around League One for the next decade. It's a pity local business interests no longer have the wherewithall to compete financially.

But what will be the result this weekend. I think we'll win but we won't steamroller them. With luck and a few other results on our side we could be guaranteed promotion.

I'm going to be brave...or stupid and let it roll to the end. I reserve the right to change my mind though

 

[Otis]

Norwich, if they win every single game, can only get to 73 points

3rd and 4th are already on 72.

Missed the boat this year.

Thank fuck they (and Southampton) started the season so poorly!
Both are flying now. I fancy Norwich to get something against Ipswich and do us a favour.

Someone more stupid than me. I only put £2 on

They have an easier next 4 games. Hold your nerve

 

[Lamps]

I know you don't understand betting on big odds but thanks for your input.

Their odds have dropped like a stone since you informed me how stupid it was to bet just 2 quid on a 100/1 shot. They're now down to 18/1 with the site I use. This means I could take a profit already if I wanted. This type of bet comes down to how long you hold your nerve before cashing out. Ipswich still have to go to Southampton. They have to go to Norwich this weekend. Ipswich have only won 2 in their last 5 games.

Does anyone know what times the shuttle bus usually leaves the train station for a 12:30 KO? I'm assuming 10, 10:30, 11:00 but nothing on the site about it yet.

 

[Bad Boy]

I can certainly see Naaawich dicking Piswich on Saturday.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

L Palmer 11 seasons in Championship & Scottish international
M Lowe 5 seasons in Champ, plus played in Prem & SPL
D Iorfa 10 Champ seasons
S Ingelsonn 2nd year in Champ, ex Serie A
J Lowe 7 years in Champ
I Ugbo 5 seasons in Champ, also played in Ligue 1 and Canada international
J Yates 6 seasons in Champ
N Chalaboah England full cap, over 50 prem games, ex Serie A
L Cooper Scottish international, 3 years in Prem
M Nakamba 40 Zimbabwe caps, 70 odd games in Prem and Eredivisie
T Adaramola played for City

Not saying that they haven't been gutted by Chansari, or that we shouldn't be winning comfortably (and I wouldn't want any of them even cleaning Rapha's boots), but their squad isn't quite the churchmice and orphans list.

Not a disaster if we're not 5 up after 20 min.

Despite losing the amount of games they've lost, they don't tend to get royally thrashed.

I'm pretty sure they've only conceded more than three goals in a game on two occasions this season, one of which was against us.

 

[SonofErnie]

They have a solid enough first 11, which is why they stay in games for 60/70 mins, then there is a significant drop off from the bench. Our options off the bench will frighten them to death and we won't have any problems as long as we don't give them an early goal to hang on to.

@TomRad85 hope you're pleased with yourself?

 

[Ccfcsj]

Why does Saturday feel such a long way off - I want it to be matchday

 

[Cally Fedora]

Rushworth
Van Ewijk Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Grimes Onyeka
Saka Rudoni Emc
Wright

Let’s not mess about. Get it done

Has to be Lati in alongside Thomas, I would say.

He's been just about our best defender of late.

Hope so , they were poor at Ipswich under Manning

In my experience it usually leaves just as you’re walking out of the station doors, then the next one will arrive shortly after you’ve made alternative arrangements

Might cash out after the weekend if results go for Southampton

 

[quinn1971]

hope we absolutely smash em, finish the season how we started it, goalfest

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

If we could have picked a game to basically seal promotion it would have been home to Wednesday surely.

Prob last home game I'll get to this season, just praying we do it

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I reckon some people who can’t help themselves will try and get on the pitch if we win.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

One thing I hope happens is that if SW are just sitting in a low block and not even trying to attack us, bring on an extra forward and go two up top. If we're going to be endlessly putting balls into the area we might as well make sure there are more people in there to get on the end of it.

 

[Otis]

If they are going to play the ultimate low block, I would play without Rushworth and play both Simms and Wright up top.

 

[Ccfcsj]

We need to be wary of these - remember they did hold the "mighty" Leicester to a draw

 

[Viktor17]

Some people seem unsure!! - Come 2:30pm on Saturday at the end of the game v SW - we CANT be promoted, fact.

It only might happen Saturday come 5pm and how other results of the 3 have gone in previous 24 hours.

Why would you run on the pitch after the game!?

If you’re not going to Blackburn, have been on the beers and think a win seals it in all but name I can see why.

One guy on X is trying to convince himself that goal difference is so high that they should announce us promoted anyway! Says the reason they wont is because of Sky wanting it to be against Blackburn! We have some interesting fans

T Adaramola played for City

Made Ryan Haynes look like prime Maldini in that one match he played.

The best we can hope for is Millwall to lose or draw on Friday meaning if we win they can't mathematically catch up

By 5pm - if Middlesbrough fail to win we will we will be promoted (if Millwall fail as well) - if they also win it goes to the Blackburn game (1 pt needed)

The Ipswich game doesn't matter on Saturday because if they lose they can still get to 90 points
