1st - 25 points - 50.6% to win the league
2nd - 24 points - 19.9% to win the league

Surprising that 1 point makes that much difference % wise, but i guess it's all ties in with our unreal xg and xga stats too, which are the best in the league.

Out of their 7 wins 6 of them were by a single goal. Out of our 7 wins only 1 of them was by a single goal and that was last game where they got their late goal.

They've also only scored 15 goals in 11 games. We've scored 17 in just 3 games. I could be kind to them and swap a 5-0 for a 4-0 for only 16 goals 😂

I'm pretty sure last year during the FA Cup run we were described as 'potless Coventry' (i.e. penniless) - does anyone else remember that? This is the same team...

Boro are only around 6th in the expected table while we’re top by some margin.

Soton are still ones to watch imo. Based on stats they should be second I think


Absolutely...Southampton and Ipswich are underperforming by 8 and 7 points, respectively - should be 2nd and 3rd respectively).
Poor old Blackburn are underperforming by 9 points.

Do you know what covs budget is? In terms of compared to other teams in league

Are we top 10? 6?

Lower than top 10?
Impossible to know.
I've found some sites which will list down total club, and individual salaries, but surely they can only be guesswork.
For what it's worth, we were in the bottom third though.
Leicester were miles ahead at the top with multiple players on £75k pw.

Really hope we do get promotion this year especially for the younger generation of supporters who haven't experienced Premiere League football for the Sky Blues...will be amazing!!.
The opposite for me.

My parents are mid 70’s so I want them to do a lap of the premier league grounds before they potentially struggle to go any longer
