    Well, looking at the stats of the 3 sides everyone considers "in the mix" for the autos, makes for decent viewing. COV; 19 games remaining, 10 at home, 9 away. Don't have to play Ipswich, Leicester, Brum, Charlton VERDICT; A good ratio of H/A games, not including a very good (and Hoodoo!) side...

    Thought you'd win today tbf. You were just going through a standard wobble that every side around the top does, akin to ours? It's just our wobble started a week before Christmas whereas yours didn't begin until after Boxing Day. Guess which side around the top (with 5 wins and a draw in their...

    Nah, Ipswich and Boro games were bigger for you than this, potential 6 pointers. This just feels bigger with the gap narrower at the time of KO. Over the whole season the points from this will help, but it's not the biggest.

    Looks like your club has it's own particular bunch of bedwetters, much the same as we do🙄 "Would take the playoffs"?? As well as you still being favourites for top 2, they're virtually guaranteed for you anyway at the very least yet he would take scraping 6th right now, such is his fear of the...

    See, "substancial 6 figures" to me says about half a million. He's 31 years old so chances are won't have much in the way of resale value unless he hits a purple patch for the second half of this season, by all accounts was decent in the Belgian league, not much to sing about in Germany and...

    We're not averse to the odd project tbf. Some work spectacularly, some bomb, that's the nature of the beast, but we are at least trying it now with lads that have played to a high league one standard minimum and/or have played internationally at some level. Leo has played for England up to under...

    Aye, there's a hefty sell on clause included I'm led to believe. In terms of asset value, if and when he moves on, even if we get 4M plus for him it's still a profit at least. 2M is a comparatively low risk investment right now anyway, even if he's only been ripping it up at the top end of...

    They have disliked the Venkys for a while tbf. Obviously no one would compare to Jack Walker for them, but going back over the last decade and a half, there's been transfer embargos, mismanagement and stupid prioritising in abundance during their tenure (the ridiculous situation of a club...

    Course you're still in it, to say the very least. Cov were always going to have a period of low points return like any other side in the league, the difference being that with the points on the board already, they were the side that this slump would affect the least. The key thing here is that...

    Snap! Bangura went off injured for us after 2 minutes too, yet another defender so we're still down to the bare bones. The new lad Malanda looks mint mind, like a championship Van Dyjk, without the whinging. Him, Jones Target and Brittain when all return (whenever that is) would be pretty...

    You'll still get 3 points against us mind. Respect the Hoodoo. We've more chance of turning Ipswich over instead.

    93 shots and an xG of over 6 later, one finally goes in. From Whittaker of course, not the strikers🤣

    The irony is, assuming Ipswich get the other auto spot we'd smash the playoffs apart with a decent finisher? Working out the average prolific strikers conversion rate from an average of 20-30 shots a game we'd be frightening against the likes of Preston, Millwall and Hull. Of course there's the...

    Him and Streleec are our main two forwards. Between them they have 6 all season. All our goals usually come from the midfield lads. The first thing we need in in January are two new strikers now IMHO. We haven't scored in the last 4 games. With 80 SHOTS and a combined xG of between 5 and 6...😮...

    They didn't exactly rip the league to shreds after beating you last time though. If they follow that recent pattern there's no reason they'll be such a shoe-in for the autos or even title as some are suggesting. Every tram in this league is inconsistent, including Ipswich.

    It's possible. Injuries are biting deeper now and it shows. We always need quite a few shots per goal, but have no problem creating a bucketload of chances at least, our midfield is right up there. But whilst we're still usually bossing every game with more duals won, possession, and by far the...

    It looks like Ipswich may be to you what you are to us tbh. Which is a pain in the backside for us lot too, the games we wanted you to win more than any other were the Ipswich ones and us no longer having a single CB fit now couldn't have came at a worse time. 😕 Here's hoping that we are to...

    Hellberg understandably keeps his cards close to his chest on that one, so a lot of it is speculation. We have 4 out and out CBs of high standard at the club. Lenihan - Already crocked for most if not all of the season after playing a couple of games in pre-season. A good CB when fit, he's...

    3 defenders actually in a back line that was already fairly threadbare. Jones went off injured first who is a big miss...Then we brought the Fridge on to replace him, who himself needed needed replacing due to injury by half time. Lastly Matt Target went off injured too, it's a ridiculous amount...
