I agree as long as you're not comparing Mowbray to Lampard 😂 Let's try again to put your mind at rest slightly. We have only lost 2 games all season. In the top half of the table there's only 3 sides that haven't lost 2 or more in the last 6 games. That's us, Middlesbrough and Preston, and...

Most of us care deeply about our club. Of course we all want promotion, even more than when we lost out to Luton as we're better prepared in most ways now. But there's worrying and then there's looking at the facts. 25 games to go and other than Middlesbrough the other sides have a mountain to...

Overly confident isn't a bad way of putting it. We do have a rival within a couple of wins of us although we scored 4 at their place.

And 2 defeats in the last 4 including against 23rd place Norwich last game. The problem for them is they are poor at the back and have a clone of Wilson in goal.

Lack of goalscorers isn't no goalscorers. If the goals come from just a few players you have a better chance of stopping them scoring. A team like ours is very hard to defend against as if they put 3 players on Wright it gives space to our other goalscorers.

That's 2. List the others. We have goalscorers all over the pitch. At the last count we had 12 different goalscorers.

Only for those who fell for the hype.

They have different financial rules than most being newly promoted. If they have the funds they can spend them. They haven't been very good so far but the same can be said for 22 of the 24 sides. They may be mid table but only 3 sides out of the top 3 have a better GD. Any players brought in...

It's worse than that. They have the equivalent of Collins and Wilson as their GK's. They got promoted with the same GK last time but they had a better defence. They might have got away with it again but they started with Will Still as manager and gave the other sides a head start.

Both of Southampton's GK's are not of a very good standard. Their defence isn't much better. They have a lack of goalscorers. This isn't a good base to go on winning runs like we have. They are on a good run now but have lost 2 of their last 4 games including the last game against Norwich who...

IIRC it looked like that at first but wasn't.

They are both young for a GK. Only one of them is coming back from a long injury. Rushworth is shaping up to be an excellent GK. If Dovin takes off from where he left he is exactly the same. Nobody has a crystal ball that works. If they did they would win the lottery every week instead of...

After Southampton away next game we have 13 out of 24 at home. If our home form continues we most probably only need a win or 2 out of the remaining away games for promotion.

We've had very good GK's against us the last 3 games. That doesn't suddenly make us poor up front. Is there a run of 4 games coming up you're worried about? Is our home form suddenly going to change? I get you. We're Coventry City. We're not used to winning most of the time. But there's...

It also isn't as likely as some are making out. We've lost 2 out of 21. If we were to lose 5 out of 25 it would mean the other side losing none out of 25. Southampton have now hit better form but have lost as many in the last 4 games as we have all season. It's a big ask.

We have only lost 2 games in 21. The chasing pack are 12 points plus lots of goals behind us and very inconsistent. We can lose our next 4 games, they win their next 4 games and we will still be above them.

It would put us in 1st. That isn't a bad place.

Ourselves and Middlesborough are on target for over 90 points. 102 for us and 92 for Middlesbrough. 3rd place are on target for 76 points. This hasn't been a usual season so far. For us to be caught by a side 3rd or lower it would take a minimum swing of 26 points from the form up to now and...

It would help if you were honest for once. When we were down to one fit striker recently I posed the question who would we play up front if Simms got injured. My choice was Thomas as we had extra defenders and he is always up there attacking. Liar is not the word I normally associate with you...

You and who else? 🤔
