Two top players in this division. Sometimes having too many star quality players is a bad thing. They all want to play and need consistent minutes to hit top form. I hope our squad building is better to be honest.

My honest opinion is that Rudoni is struggling to find his way back in a 4-2-3-1. There were multiple comments that 4-4-2 was losing us control in the midfield, Eccles comes in and plays well only to get injured and Rudoni’s returned arguably gets rushed. It hasn’t helped that Haji has not...

Interesting narrative when the xG table has them being 1 point ahead of us. We’ve not been lucky and the game we played should’ve proved that. We hit the post, ref bottles a red card and then they nick a goal… Hope we batter them this evening.

Have you looked at the underlying data for those games? Of all the matches you mentioned, only Derby was a particularly strong game of chance creation. The QPR game we created the least, all of our low % shots went in and was one of those crazy games. It also goes without saying that PNE...

Biological warfare from out lot 😂

That’s a good point, as a general point team with more home games in a period will get more points than teams with a schedule with more away games. This accounts for Ipswich’s charge up the table because their last away win was v Hull. They’ve also picked up 2 points from 3 away games.

It’s more copium from opposition fans imo. PNE, Bristol and Swansea we should have scored 2 goals as a minimum. Southampton Haji Wright goes though on goal and does shot off and v Ipswich we hit the post at 0-0. We’ve had games v Watford and Blackburn where the opposition didn’t take their...

Southampton, Leicester, Sheff U and Ipswich are well below the usual run rate. After Boxing Day, the Top 4 all had 44 points and only Sheff U had 50 points. We’re ahead of Leeds. Burnley and Sheff U this time last year for context. Only Boro are on 40+ points and they’d be 5th on last years...

He’s been there and done it as a player and this point is something the players mention in interviews. It’s pretty clear they respect Lampard and trust that he knows what it takes to win a league title. He’s a manager that’s had a Top 4 Prem finish which is an achievement unmatched by any...

It’s not fool proof but it’s a solid indicator. We’ve lost 2 league games under Lampard so realistically, will we lose more than 3 games in the next 12 Home games? I’d say probably not. Similarly, Ipswich’s away form is currently 1.18 ppg, is it likely that they will turn into a 2.3 ppg team...

Unlike the professional scouts and analysts, our horizons are much more narrow. For example, I don’t watch much football outside of Cov, England and Super Sunday. Hamer was a great player for us, but he’s moved on and we have as well. There’s a reason all the Prem teams didn’t sign him when...

You can’t be too complacent but when you do the maths, it’s v difficult to see how 2 teams beat our form over the next 23 games. Our home and away form is better than Boro and Ipswich and we’ve had a more difficult teams away than both. The only people doubting us at present is our own fans...

Everything is 10/10 right now. We’re in a position that it’s v difficult to mess this up now.

I think we’ll beat that. We’re currently on 2.2 ppg and we’ve more or less played the entire top half away from home, with only Hull and Bristol City to play in the Top 6. Birmingham’s home form has dropped off so what looked like a scary fixture looks winnable now. Our away form has slowed...

8 weeks, so mid-Jan return: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-injuries-southampton-lampard-33089196.amp

It was in one of the telegraph injury reports pre-Southampton away. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-injuries-southampton-lampard-33089196.amp

The initial 6-8 week diagnosis has him returning for Leicester at home. Lampard said he was still tracking at that. 6 weeks from Boro is after Birmingham away so BTA should be back for Stoke or Leicester.

Ipswich are 2nd to us on home form and even then their home PPG is 2.08 and their away PPG is 1.18. Our PPG at home is 2.63 which is incredible, we have 12 home games v 11 away games left to play. Ipswich have more away games left to play too. Extrapolating their existing form, you could...

It happens every year and it’s usually the same posters jumping the gun.

I don’t think Ipswich will feel like they need a win this one. January is their big opportunity to climb the table because they have 4 home games where they will be expect to pick up near maximum points.
