Still in fantasy land, but nearer to reality is that we would "only" need to win by 5 goals at Wycombe, and Ipswich lose by 5 goals for us to go above them, as we would have scored more goals than them. Interesting that they have only scored 3 more than us - it's certainly our inability to close...

Just for you Grendel, as you haven't pointed it out, JCH scored yet again for Bristol Rovers yesterday - from a debatable penalty won after a foul on the sorely missed Agogo, by Rod MacDonald. A true made in Coventry goal? However, Rovers then went on to lose 2 -1 at home to AFC Wimbledon...

(Mainly) because we won't/can't be as low as 14th, and won't be 18 points off the auto's - therefore it will be better than last year. Also, the original post stated the position as of Christmas Day, which remains 100% accurate. Instead of indulging in childish name-calling, why not accept...

Hands up from me! Didn't do enough research on that, but I still stand by the fact that he didn't do anything against us at St Andrews in the 72 minutes he played before being subbed (researched it right this time....). I expect he'll put it right when we play them down there.

But still better than last year, whichever sort of spin you put on it.

I think you meant to say "hope" instead of "think"?

This is a division which will be difficult to get out of, yet we are 5th, having lost only 3 league games so far, so I feel optimistic. Last week Oxford lost to MK, the week before they drew at home to Shrewsbury, Yet this week they've beaten Wycombe. I wonder how many of their fans were...

Agreed, good goal, and he laid the ball on a plate for Barnsley's second. He was one of those who didn't quite fit in with Robins plans, and wasn't often palyed in his best position.

Reda Johnson scored Eastleigh's third in the FA Cup last night. I know he was a big bloke, but he looks like he's put on a bit of weight. Burge played for Sunderland, while McNulty and Willis weren't even in the squad.

You are spot on re last season, I can't believe the way Hiwula has gone backwards this season, and Bright's absence must be a big factor in that. However, I would challenge the last part of your comment. We are, despite the comparatively poor contributions of the strikers, third, and if we do...

Julian Joachim?

And what about Rashford's miss for Man Utd last week? All strikers will miss chances, it's how they react to it which is the real thing for discussion. In Bakayoko's case, I think he just doesn't believe in himself enough.

I've spent ages looking for one - it's heel, not heal!! :happy: Other than that, I'm in the strange place of agreeing with much of what you've said above. A winning performance from a team missing a number of influential/first-choice players, going back up to third. Happy days.

I can't - I applaud your ability to do so with no/very few spelling mistakes!

Rochdale offered far more than Accrington and Tranmere. And as others have pointed out, with the players who weren't available today, I reckon this is a massive 3 points for us.

They were 1 up by virtue of the one that went in. As we all know very well, hitting the post, having shots blocked or even having several shots that don't go in count for nothing except useless stats. Good to see so many posts from you during the match, how do you make the time to come to your...

But how many have lost more than one away?

Has someone with time on their hands thought about sending some of the videos/screenshots to the FA and asking what their opinion is? On VAR, I regularly watch the Bundesliga highlights show, and their use of VAR seems to be so much better than ours. In fact Grendel could do it, while also...

I get the point about mistakes being made, but even the top players make mistakes, and Hyam and McFadzean are Division 3/League1 defenders, who will make more mistakes, but hopefully learn from them and cut them out of their games. On the other hand, credit to Eisa for how well he worked to...

The results at Oxford and Peterboro are good results. In the minds of those fans who never seem able to accept that opponents might try and score against us if they are losing, they will always appear to be bad results. You are also spot on re the score at Bolton - it was always going to be a...
