And we're also far out in front of the team in second for the most conceded.

I mean, I've only seen one of those penalty awards, which was the handball against us, but you do fanny around with it at the back an awful lot and have a tendency to overplay. That's a recipe to give away penalties.

Shame for Boro. Hope Millwall take second

What's this mens for us? 3 points to win the league? Or 1pt if Ipswich drop pts again?

 

[Evo1883]

From the Millwall forum (commenting on the Ipswich v Boro game)

We are better than both of these and barring one or two, I wouldn't swap any of our squad for theirs. As much as it pains me, Coventry are the best team in the league but we are definitely next.

Nice to hear (if a bit deluded imo) If they go up, Alex Neill has done a mental job.

Why does it pain him , we have no issues with them

1 win

 

[Warwickhunt]

Not mathematically.

Yes it does! We get 89 and pisswich can only get 88

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

It's worse than that.

Ipswich have nearly double the penalties given to the second team.
And we're also far out in front of the team in second for the most conceded.
Give us the usual metric for conceding and we'd be in the driving seat for the autos now. Give Ipswich the usual metric for having them given and they'd probably be around Hull's level.

We expected this and knew we needed a 3rd goal. The penalty was inevitable🫣

The Boro defender was daft. Obvious what would happen.

 

[covcity4life]

1 win

Hopefully comes Vs Pompey or Ipswich fail to beat Charlton at least.

Could do without stress of needing to beat a desperate Wrexham side to lift the trophy Infront of our fans at the CBS

It's a big blow as I think you will win rest of your games now but it probably wnt be enough

Go into playoffs in form though if manage it

Not mathematically.

If we draw they would need to overturn a 13 goal difference with away games against Charlton ,West brom and Southampton and home to QPR no wonder we are 100-1 on now.The extra point and it would be a lot more than 100.Forget about "mathematically it isn't happening.I see no pigs flying.
Enjoy the ride.

 

[TomRad85]

They’re more dislikable than Sheff Utd at this point for me. Anyway, time to get the Champions shirt sorted.

Well it helps that Sheffield United are shite. They are both loathsome.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Jack Clarke on. Injury time penalty incoming...

What are the lottery numbers for next week.

If we draw, we'll have 87 points. They can't get 11 points from 4 games. So goal difference can't come into it (unless we get two draws, or lose all our games...).

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Clear penalty. Not soft this time

Yeah but Hurst was never going to get to the ball was he.

 

[robbiethemole]

What if we don’t beat Pompey?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

What if we don’t beat Pompey?

Err still two games to play.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

titles done then!

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

titles done then!

Would you bet against ?I wouldn't.

 

[robbiethemole]

Err still two games to play.

Are you confident we’d win either

 

[northstander]

What minute in the second half do they get their dodgy penalty then? I'm going 72nd.

Ugh. Luckiest team going and yet they still won't catch us.

 

[Evo1883]

Are you confident we’d win either

Yes we will win 2 more i think

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yes we will win 2 more i think

Worst case is 2 draws and it’s enough!

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

We don't have to win any, we would still be Champions with Southampton beating Ipswich.

 

[sc1940]

I just can't see Ipswich winning all their remaining games. We should play without fear now and win at least 2 of our games.

 

[covcity4life]

Watford is irrelevant in terms of wanting to lift trophy at home

1 win from next 2 needed in terms of that or Ipswich to drop PTS in 1 game out of next 2

 

[AOM]

Looking at fixtures millwall cant be ignored

Ipswich still got to go to Southampton as well.
Really hope Millwall or Middlesbrough nick that second spot

 

[AOM]

So nice being able to sit back and relax looking at the bloodbath for the play offs and second place going on

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Worst case is 2 draws and it’s enough!

Doubt it’ll even be that as can’t see Ipswich getting anything away at Southampton

 

[TomRad85]

I'm sure we'll recruit far better than Ipswich. Must be £150 million quids worth there surely (plus fat wages) and let's face it, its not even the 'Championship cheatcode' team it was billed as.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Just thinking! We need to get Mungo back from Leicester as well cos he was stolen from us. Surely a Coventry born lad wants to play in the premier league with his hometown club

 

[Ipad Boro]

Nah, they need the referee's association as their cheatcode.

 

[wingy]

It was a valiant go at it.

It'll be Millwall hopefully.

Our best hope is the playoffs now, today was the last chance saloon and we blew it.

I'd personally go all out to get a result against Wdnesday, then play the kids in our last 2 matches, wrap evey one of our vital players in cotton wool for them and have Hackney, McGree and Casteldine live in an oxygen tent for the next few weeks to do our best to overcome the regular injury crisis we have every season, ready for the playoffs.

No you didn't, they're a fuckin disgrace,and the officials, just one of those other shots going in would have put it to bed.
Soz mate you bossed it, what that does for you I'm not sure but good luck whichever way it goes!

 

[quinn1971]

We need to beat pompey or Wrexham. would love it done Tuesday, can just enjoy the last 2 games then but Beating Wrexham to do it would be perfect, shove that in your documentary

As dangerous as some of your passing out from the back was, I think it's harsh on yourselves to say you blew it today. Everyone knew the ref was going to give them a soft pen at some point. It's so blatant by now it's ridiculous.
