    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    Good luck with getting the Premier League to expedite anything [emoji23] Man City have 115 “FFP”charges pending, dating back to 2010. No sign of those charges even being heard yet.

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    It will. It’s bizarre that Everton are waiting for results of the first appeal while waiting for the second one to hit. I doubt whether the first one will be reduced much, if at all, and the second one should be 10 points again, and no doubt they will appeal that too! It’s going to end up as a...

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    But another points deduction is coming their way. It’s the same charge and circumstance as the last one but for the next season, so can’t see how they won’t have points deducted. Their only hope is to play for time and hope they can push it into next season. Forest also will be deducted - they...

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    Yes of course 4th is in the top 6, but it is not flying in the top 2 which was your original point. Playoffs are very achievable for any well run, well managed and well resourced club, but top 2 takes a miracle to get above 2 out of 3 relegated clubs. For what it’s worth, I don’t think we’ll...

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    Ipswich are only going in one direction, will likely finish 4th. I’m not sure when Luton were ever going to finish in the top 2 last season. It was a 2 horse race for most of the season. Luton were 11 points behind second place at the start of January and the same in May.

    Why do you assume Luton are coming down? They are making a decent fist of it and both Forest and Everton will have further points deductions. Luton may go down but it’s by no means inevitable.

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    We’ll have to wait a long time until we’re flying in the top 2. There’s always going to be 2 relegated teams with massive budgets that are taking the automatic places. Our realistic hope is always going to be via the playoffs.

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    So what do you suggest? That we don’t try to get promoted in case we come straight back down?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Preston North End FC Match Thread - Friday 23rd Feb

    I think Torp being fit is a huge assumption. The way he pulled up didn’t look good, I doubt we’ll see him Friday.

    Match Thread Stoke City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 17th Feb

    People are talking like Wrexham ripped us apart. The reality was we couldn’t cope with their long throws and set pieces, which from memory accounted for 3 of their goals. Most of our defenders looked like they had never seen a long throw. Wrexham were clinging on for dear life for most of the...

    It was about 5 minutes before half time and I’m not sure he touched the ball in that time. He was clearly uncomfortable, time will tell how bad it was.

    He pulled up just after he took 2 corners in succession and it appeared that he had pulled something. It looked like he asked to go off, spoke to Robins and then carried on for 5-10 mins up to half time. It was pretty obvious he wouldn’t be coming out for the second half.

    Apologies, but you sounded ignorant of the past. And you’ve answered your own question re Leicester - it clearly wasn’t a one-off was it?

    Win promotion or the FA Cup ?

    It wouldn’t be a one-off at all, West Ham did it in 1980 and Sunderland in 1973. I’m sure there were some before that, but that’s the two I remember. Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

    Really, they’re monitoring the work they do? That’s amazing. I’d always assumed Robins guessed.

    The point being that Maidstone have far more to complain about than we do.

    Yes, I’m sure the 1950s were wonderful

    Preston Game moved due to FAcup

    Friday/Monday is hardly different to playing Saturday/Tuesday which we do on a regular basis, so not sure what the problem is or why we would be unhappy. Maidstone are playing Saturday/Monday, I can understand why they would complain about that. Longish trip back from Taunton on Saturday...
