    If we don't get promoted....

    To finish the sentence "If we don't get promoted..." it would be a massive letdown, especially considering where we are in the table now. Granted, Sunderland and Wycombe have, on paper, an easier set of fixtures left to play, we have the advantage of playing most of our top 6 rivals at home...

    Match Thread Rochdale vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 22nd Feb

    With a week off for this match and then 3 huge games (Rotherham, Sunderland and Ipswich) in succession, I think this set of fixtures will define our season. Cannot take Rochdale lightly, and I'm tempted to go 2 up top with the same lineup that finished the last game except I'd bring Dabo back in...

    While Rotherham and Sunderland are at home, Ipswich is away. If we can win 1 and draw 1 of the home games and draw the away match, I think we'd have done very well. Interestingly, Fleetwood play Sunderland and Ipswich just before we play the latter 2 teams. Hopefully Fleetwood can force draws...

    KJ deserves it. 10 wins out of 11 in all competitions gets my vote.

    New Signing - Fankaty Dabo

    Wish Walsh was a permanent signing (same for O'hare). Hopefully we can make them permanent in the off-season.

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 15th Feb

    We need to win by a big margin to boost our goal difference. With Peterboro winning every match 4-0 lately, we need to also start putting away our chances more often than not. This match should present a great opportunity to do that.

    Points targets

    Really don’t see the point of this thread. Interesting for speculation’s sake, but that’s about it. We don’t need the added pressure. Thought Bristol Rovers and Bolton would be gimmes, but they almost gave me a heart attack. So I just really and truly want to take it 1 match at a time.

    Match Thread Birmingham match thread

    Since I don’t care about the Cup and would rather focus on the league, I’d play the following lineup: Marosi Pask Drysdale Williams Mason JJones Westbrooke Shipley Hiwula Biamou Bakayoko I might even throw on Giles (if not cup-tied), Eccles and Kastaneer just...

    Next Three League Games

    Watched the match vs Bristol Rovers via iFollow. Thought the conditions with the wind were dreadful and going behind was troubling. But what I like about this team this season is the belief and steely determination to come back time and again. I know we’ve got massive games against all our...

    Portsmouth (H)

    They are all massive games at this stage. Have to take it one game at a time like how the old cliche goes. Not losing and picking up points (whether 1 or 3) has to be the goal. Most of the games against key promotion rivals are at home. So we have to make that count. We need the fans to show up...

    May as well throw Baka, Westbrooke into the mix (as I think they did okay vs B'ham).

    League 1 game (s) Saturday

    After today's matches the top 11 teams are separated by just 10 points. That's insanely tight. No real runaway leader and so many teams in the mix. Portsmouth, Doncaster, Fleetwood and us have games in hand over the others. Hopefully, we can make them count.

    Promotion - The Down side

    We should aim to play at the highest level. Simple as that. Don’t worry about challenges ahead. If we stay in League 1, we don’t know how next season will play out. What if our best players leave and if we went back to League 2? We are playing a good brand of football that should suit us in a...

    3-0 to Posh now. Looking bad for Wycombe now.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 25th Jan

    Beating Birmingham doesn’t mean we win the FA Cup Final. It just adds to the fixture congestion. In all likelihood we will eventually get knocked out. So promotion is a more practical target to shoot for this season. If we can rest players and still sneak a victory over B’ham and make some money...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 25th Jan

    I have to agree. Might even put O’Hare on the bench and start Westbrooke so as to save him for Tuesday. Shipley looked fresh last Sat and scored after being rested for the midweek match. With games coming up every Tues and Sat, we need to freshen things up and prioritize the league over the cup...

    Burge would have conceded some of those shots if he was still our keeper. Glad we have 2 capable keepers now.

    8 Games in 32 days

    There is a limitation to human endurance. We don’t have such a big squad like many people think. Yes, we can interchange a few parts and pieces, but the more games we play with little time for rest in between matches raises the risk for fatigue and injuries. And if anyone were to get suspended...

    I wasn’t referring to the town. Please see the original message and the context in which I made reference to the football team.
