    No, unfortunately not. My first trip to the UK was in the summer of last year, but I was part of a tour group that visited the famous sights. However, one of the ironies of the trip was a visit to Old Trafford which felt very wrong to me. I did mention to the tour guide that I was a Cov fan and...

    Free agent fan.

    I'm like you in some ways in that I'm not from the UK and grew up in Asia and live in the US. Football (or soccer as the Americans call it) was all around me when I was growing up. When I started playing and following football in the late 70s as a kid it was fashionable to support Man Utd and...

    Video CLASSIC GAME | Coventry City v Blackpool, 7th September 2019

    I'd like to have Sullay Kaikai (who scored both of Blackpool's goals) on our team. Think he would add depth to our attacking options and might be an upgrade over Hiwula.

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

    You nailed it. If there was an option for Cov to be promoted and a playoff between teams placed 2-7 most teams (except Rotherham and Sunderland of course) would have voted for it and we would be done with the season. We would easily get the 51% majority needed. That would be the only way to...

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

    Sunderland only have themselves to blame for being 7th. If they had won against Bristol Rovers on 10 March (not too much to ask is it) they would be 3rd and would now be pushing for PPG at all costs. Instead they laid an egg (matter of fact they trounced Bristol Rovers 3-0 just a few weeks...

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

    Empty vessels (such as the fans on twitter you spoke of) make the most noise and should know better. Unlike DM who has gone on and on about finding some kind of backdoor to get into the Championship (while dragging other teams into his schemes), we've been very calm and collected through this...

    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?

    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.
