My worry is without Wright I guess Simms starts as striker. This will probably mean that BTA starts on the bench as Simms will need to be subbed. Therefore Eccles plays as 10 again which, although he’s a good player, he’s not a 10.

I’m worried that Wright’s could be too

Yeah big blow, but Simms may be better suited away. Tough game whatever team we put out.

Playing Wrexham penultimate too mind you. Hopefully neither have anything to play for in those games.

Largely agree with this. We’ll likely get promoted, but not impossible that we muck up. Somewhere in between planning the promotion party/saying we couldn’t lose and deciding it’s all going to go wrong.

Umm…not really. Just stating that I think away at Swansea who have been good at home will be a tricky match.

With 8 games left I’m looking at it more in two game chunks. I want 3 points from every two games. Partly because that would get us to the points total needed, but also it keeps any pressure off if we win every other game.

Clive and Ally a great duo. Would be amazed if any Coventry fan didn’t have it in their top 5 of best matches.

Is this a practice session?

Sorry bud, but putting you on ignore. Like discussing with people who disagree, but you just seem incapable on providing anything worthwhile or engaging.

I think so too, but v tricky away from home. Swansea have good form at their place. Tight game either way.

True. Just hampers our depth I suppose. This is the sort of game where I’m hoping Frank the Tank will make a big difference.

Yeah possibly quite pessimistic. I tend to look at any away game as v tricky. I think in a weird way they’ll play better than Southampton who really tried to shithouse us (which annoyingly worked).

I think Wright, Rudoni and Thomas missing makes this v tough. Hoping we can shithouse to a point or win, but a defeat feels likely.

Yeah, wouldn’t disagree with that. Great position to be in.

For sure they will drop points and I think 84 would be v borderline. Might get us promotion, might not. I think my point is though from a fan perspective you’d want a lot more. Imagine the stress of only getting 2 wins and a draw from now.

Too close for comfort

Wright injury is a little red herring for sure. I think it’s less about the wins needed and making sure we keep the gap where it is. Once it becomes a win between us and the rest anything can happen.

Agree with all of this. It feels like some haven’t supported this team long enough to see how things can go. Focus one on game at a time. Every three points is going to have to be earned to get over the line.

Would love us to pick up a draw at Swansea just to keep the points tally ticking over. Two losses in a row and the media will be quick to discuss another blip. I’m actually wondering if we’ll be stronger away from home in the run in? Understandably there’s a nervous edge at the CBS because we...
