It depends where both clubs are, when getting towards the back end of Jan. At the moment one has a possibility of autos, almost guaranteed to make the playoffs as a minimum, whereas the other has just a possibility of making the playoffs. If this continues it could be a tactical maneuvre by...

I'd like to think this has had more than a few hoofs on the relevant message board by now...🤣 I'm far from taking the side of Sunderland usually, but Scooby-Doo himself would have better insight than the bloke who's adopted his name.🤪

Aye, looks like Swansea is a free hit for Cov at this point on that metric. But I still want you to whallop them to keep the positivity high, so more importantly Ipswich can be sent back with NIL Points in the game to follow...😁

I'll say it's madness. You've increased the gap on second by a point, so logically your title percentage should have gone up slightly. The gap has decreased by a point to 3rd, so your top 2 percentage should have dropped just slightly. Yet the opposite is the case!🤣

I can understand your being confident you're going to finish above us; six points is six points and you still have one of Boro's 4 hoodoo games a season to come to widen the gap by another 3 points. What I can't for the life of me get is...Why you'd then be wary of Southampton?? Yeah, they"re a...

Preston are notoriously a tough resilient nut to crack at home tbf, especially this season. But they could well be your version of our "Bristol City"...🤔 The law of averages state that they must end at some point, but it's always very, very unlikely, no matter what the strength of the relevant...

Hellball is far more focused on attack than defence under Edwards. It leaves us slightly weaker at the back, but a lot more likely to score a decent amount of goals? The formation is also vastly different, packing the advanced centre with bodies for more control further up as we always had the...

That's all it was? It's akin to a player receiving grief and doing that "hands cupped to ears" thing after scoring. You don't normally get opposing players piling on them though...What muppets.

There's no hopefully about it, of course Bristol were going to beat us!🤣 It's Ashton Gate and we always write off all 12 points against yourselves and Bristol before a ball has been kicked...What form we're in...Doesn't matter. What form you guys or Bristol are in...Doesn't matter. The fact...

Come on Cov, keep those buggers out.👍

Edwards' prior management experience is a mixed bag. He had a great 6 months with Luton that culminated in their going up through the playoffs, yet to balance it out a crap similar period when they came back down. His time in the Prem with Luton is largely considered neither good nor bad, they...

I believe the club accepted the fee of 20M in principle and gave Ipswich permission to speak to Hackney. However it is more than possible that they also knew Hackney had his sights set higher if not with us so he wouldn't go anyway, along with being told that they really didn't want him to...

In some ways you are correct, others not so. The main one not is in regards to Viveash. Along with Gibbo, Kieran Scott, our head of recruitment., hired Viveash personally, he was nothing to do with Edwards. Edwards brought his own man, Harry Watling with him, so when he displayed his...

In some cases I would agree, the clubs paid very generously for a player, in others I would say they got substantially more in the long run from that player than what they paid for. Latte Lath is a striker more suited for the English game, so that sale whilst he was decent for them in the MLS...

You are quite correct Sir, he is none other than our former manager Rat Edwards, who despite preaching "we're a big family" until he was blue in the face, scurried off instantly without a thought of throwing our season into complete disarray, at the first sign of some more dollar.

There will be a few prem clubs who want him in January, tbh which we're prepared for. According to transfermkt he's now the most valuable player in the championship and has stepped up his game even further this campaign. There's very strong rumours that Palace and Leeds are also interested and...

We have 3 players in on loan. Two are Target from Newcastle and Browne from Sunderland, whom as much as they're rivals who we don't get on with usually we have to admit we're thankful for these lads. There's also the talented Norwegian teen attacking midfielder Sverre Nypan from Man City, but...

In truth though as a Boro fan, if it were as an only side in the equation, Middlesbrough by themselves cannot be rivals for the autos. The title yes, but if there's only 1 rival for the autos then there would be no rivals to stop you getting in them. A lot of Boro fans incidentally are in the...

Well done Coventry. Obviously gutted tonight, but it was largely a game of two defences and that's where your strength lies. You defended better than we did and for all our possession it's cost us really. Well that and Archer inexplicably becoming a shadow of himself over the playoffs. There's...

Some of our fans will invariably think it's overwhelmingly likely now. The same as some doom and gloom merchants will think we haven't a prayer. Either of those extremes are very much in the minority and dismissed as rubbish by the majority though. Theorising what Luton would be like as...
