    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    If there's more than a 51% majority of those who don't want to continue, shouldn't the season be ended this week? I really cannot understand why Bristol Rovers, Lincoln and Gillingham would want to join the 6 rebel clubs in playing on. Their chances for promotion were remote before COVID-19 and...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Of the remaining fixtures, just out of curiousity I actually looked into how many games each of the top 10 teams had to play against each other other. Below are the fixtures: Coventry vs Wycombe Fleetwood vs Rotherham Ipswich vs Portsmouth Wycombe vs Oxford Oxford vs Portsmouth Coventry vs...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    i agree. That's why I think promoting the top 2 and having a playoff for teams 3-8 should be the course of action. In any event, if the league ended the top 2 would have been promoted and teams 3-6 would have entered the playoffs. So in this case, extending the playoffs to teams placed 7 and 8...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    I'm glad that League 2's fate is decided and applaud the magnanimity of teams who could have made the playoffs, but chose to err on the side of caution in terms of the health and well-being of their playing/non-playing staff as well as the sustainability of their respective teams/league...

    Solutions to complete the Season

    I hope they don't void it. you cannot pretend that the season did not happen especially not after 30 odd games. If this happened in Sep or Oct, yes maybe it might have made sense to void the season. But not in March with just 10 games to play. It's easy for the West Ham Vice-Chair to want the...

    Would hope for a comfortable win, but they're our bogey side and after watching the last several weeks, 1-0 to us will do.

    Anyone else not sure what to do with themselves?

    Agree. I'll take worry of hanging to a top or top 2 spot any day over worrying about potential relegation or trying your best to make the playoffs not knowing if you can make it out of the division. I'll take autos all day.

    Stat shit again-sorry.

    Portsmouth's and Fleetwood's stats (even Doncaster's) look very similar to ours. I was just wondering if a team concedes a lot of last minute goals, would their trailing stat also be low since it's at the end of matches?

    Match Thread Ipswich v Coventry Match Thread

    Ipswich are growing in confidence after we were dominant for about the first half hour. They’ve actually had a few good chances with balls over the top. Must be careful and get the second goal to put this away.

    Match Thread Ipswich v Coventry Match Thread

    Like everyone has been saying, I agree that an early goal for us will help settle the nerves. Unlike Portsmouth, Rotherham and Sunderland all of whom we faced at St. Andrews, this one is away. Regardless of their current plight, they were top of the table in Jan and have prior Championship...

    O'Hare or Walsh

    The other thing worth mentioning that I forgot to say before is that although Walsh and O'Hare didn't start the season with us, I'm glad Robins and his team found them early enough in the season to integrate them into a system that's now running like a well-oiled machine. Even going out and...

    O'Hare or Walsh

    Obviously the greedy part of me wants both, but if I were to pick one it would have to be Walsh. O'Hare has the flair, but Walsh pulls the strings and also chips in with goals (some of which are great ones). This pair was a great pickup and hope the recruitment team continues to unearth more...

    Match Thread Ipswich v Coventry Match Thread

    Let’s not take this game lightly. They’re missing players, but after watching their Fleetwood midweek match highlights, I feel Ipswich were unlucky not to score. They also recently beat Burton 4-1 at home and we know how our match at Bolton early in the season ended where we were heavy...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Sunderland Match Thread - Sunday 1st Mar

    I felt we started well, but then stopped attacking and sat back too deep for much of the match. If only Kelly could shoot, he could have scored 2 great chances in their 6 yard box and made it more comfortable. Godden also missed one towards the end where I felt he could have done better (but got...

    Incredibly great set of results in League 1 in our favor (bar the Oxford one, but it looks like Southend did put up a fight). C'mon City let's take advantage of this tomorrow!!

    League one Friday/Saturday

    In an effort to provide relief to the players (after a long season and fixture congestion due to matches played in midweek), the second half of all League 1 matches today (29Feb2020) will NOT need to be played. So all matches will end after 45 minutes and the scores at that time will be...
