    Time to believe

    We're 1 point out of the playoffs. We're in better recent form than all the clubs around us. Grimes has joined the party. He will make a big difference. EMC is back and looking strong already. We're now getting clean sheets instead of letting nearly every shot on target in. And we will have a...

    Next 5 are important

    I would agree normally. But other than the top 4 the rest have been inconsistent. Blackburn in 6th averaging 66 points for the season. WBA averaging 69 points in 5th. They play each other tonight so at least one of them will go even lower. 5 wins out of the last 6, mainly against sides in the...

    WBA are very inconsistent. Just like all the sides out of the top 4. That's how we have nearly caught up with them in such a short time. WBA v Blackburn tonight. 5th v 6th. A draw would be good. QPR had won 6 out of their last 8 games. They were fresher than us. Last night was a big test for...

    Time to believe

    Here we are suddenly 8th place and just a point out of the playoffs. Great start to the year. 5 league wins out of 6. The only defeat is against Leeds who have won their games either side of our defeat 7-0 against Cardiff and 4-0 away to Watford. The clubs all around us keep dropping points...

    Premier league standard

    There's a fair difference between being a Prem club after getting promoted and not being of Prem quality after getting promoted. When Leeds go up they will be close to having a lower end Prem quality side. But they're a level above the next best sides. The other 2 sides that go up will not be...

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Show me where I said it is impossible that he will sign in time. A thought is just that. A thought. It isn't an invitation for hen pecked men to try and cause an argument they think they can win for once.

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Great prospect. Well done to whoever spotted him and got the deal over the line. He will only improve with experience. Just hope we get to keep him for a few years before he is sold for a big fee.

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    There's no way he will play in this game. What I have said is I can see it being finalised after the cut-off point yet some are trying to argue over this thought 🤔 🙄

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    An argument when I agree with you? 🤔😂 The game was a draw. The tie was won. But people seem to love arguing so state the 'facts' in their favour. And this subject is easier than most as the official records also show we lost the playoffs to Luton and the cup game to Manchester United and beat...

    I agree. So why not delay finalising the deal for another day when it makes no difference?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Ipswich Town [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 8th Feb

    You would think the preference would be to buy tickets for the easier game out of the two so they can watch a victory. That will reduce the numbers buying tickets for our game.

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Too early. Gentlemens agreements not allowed by FA rules. Can only see the deal finalised after the cut-off point for being registered on time for our game has gone by.

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Yes it does approximately. But as I stated we also have another big payment due when Gyokeres moves again. That will be this summer at the latest.

    So I am awful at betting but

    I'd prefer to put £50 on with the bookies and donate £1,300 if it came in thanks.

    So I am awful at betting but

    Certainly is. They're not used to playing without Grimes. 1 draw 5 defeats so far this year. We've won the last 3 against top half sides and are playing well. Nice to have a bit of inside information on their weaknesses. Normally you would want to lay these odds. We have an awful recent record...

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    There's more money to come from selling Gyokeres. Most transfers are not paid in full at the date the player moves. Most are paid over a minimum of 2 years with the terms being part of the negotiations. IIRC Hyam went for a lower fee than had been offered before, and part of the reason was the...
