Mad to think if we win this we're still in with a shout of the play offs with 4 games left to go. Great achievement even if we do fall short which I think we will.

Win here and the home game on Monday could be exciting.
Would possibly see a bigger walk up on the day too

Couldn't ask for a harder final 5 games, so in the event we win all 5, we deserve to be in the Play-Offs! Brum will be the opposite of the Fulham game, so a good test. Pretty sure it will be an unchanged line-up too,

We always seem to draw against them, and I think that is the likeliest result this time round. The uglier the game the more it will suit them. A big deciding point could be their pitch. This time last year it was rock hard & bobbly and we had to adapt by playing the ball forward earlier, rather than keeping possession from the back which was fraught with danger from the inconsistent bounce. We actually adapted pretty well then, but we would still be more suited than them to playing on a decent pitch.

these guys dont play football so will be one goal one way or another - with plenty of shithousery

This is a horrible team to forecast a result but I'm going for a city win.
On the plus side thought of our robins pure football philosophy
You have Boyer's cloggers as the alternative I couldn't watch cloggers football every week and to think people have to pay to watch it.

What’re people thinking about pubs? I normally get off at New Street and start in the Briar Rose then walk down through Digbeth. Been a while since I’ve done it as an away fan though!

Probably better to stay in the city centre then head straight to the ground. Lot of Digbeth pubs will be blues only.

I won’t hear the end of this if the Blues cloggers win seeing as my twin bro’s a bluenose (he works in Cov too so I’ll put up details of where he works if the cavemen do win)

Not necessarily - it’s a bank holiday weekend & peeps’ll be out on the lash anyway…not just the ones going to the footy
Alfie Birds,or any bar near there in the Custard Factory,will be decent

Hopefully Hamer gets that Woods Back for last time, I dont really care if he gets another card whatever colour as long as he bullies Woods

I have a feeling playing them away may be more favourable for us as they will have to play a more open game on their own turf, and we play quite well on the break, especially when Hamer and Sheaf are playing well.

Horrible side for us to play against. Polar opposite to Fulham who will allow you play. Birmingham are anti football. Preston, Cardiff, Millwall are all hanging around the Championship dishing out this shite. Thank you Mark Robin's for refusing to join them.

Seconded

Made me

Been a long season with some of the worst shite we’ve seen in years and we know shite when we see it.

No goal in open play for 6 games

Cov win 2-0

Apologies if it's been posted already, but looks like there will be some issues with the trains. Network rail are saying that "Rail replacement buses will operate between Birmingham International and Coventry".

Find details of current incidents | National Rail

A portal into UK rail travel, including information on ticket purchase and promotions, train times and delays, and more.
www.nationalrail.co.uk

Might be worth checking before you travel, or at least planning on it taking longer than usual.

Theres no reason we can't win tomorrow. It'll be a scrappy, horrible game because that's how they play. If we can snatch a goal early then I think we'll win the game.

1-2

Anyone able to give some guidance on trains? They running out not? Trainline suggests things are running as normal.

From what I’ve read, rail replacement bus service is going to be in operation between Rugby and Birmingham International.

I've read the tweet... If there are no trains between Coventry & New St... Why don't they say 'There are no trains from Coventry to New St tomorrow'!

Win. Anything different, season definately over. Teams are nervous and wobbling. And yes we are full of confidence at the right time and could just as easily win the next 5 games and put the cat among the pigeons.
Well, we can but hang on to that thought and hopefully take it into Monday!

Correct! It is a bit confusing, I’ve also seen elsewhere the rail replacement service starts on Saturday

I have just been sent the below, which shows the rail replacement service may actually start on Saturday and not tomorrow. A bit confusing as the club have tweeted differing information.

Hola from Cuba !! The internet so sporadic here it's crazy. I saw the Fulham result and went wild and all the Candians and Germans thought I was having a fit. I'm hoping we can maintain this momentum over the weekend and were in the top 6 by the time I get home on Tuesday Got some great photos of the two tone kit in Havana in the classic cars will post them when I get back. CCFC on tour in Cuba hahaha. PUSB

That’s what appears to be happening according to the normal go to websites. It’s odd the club have tweeted that in that case.

Yes, it's bloody confusing. On the online journey planner it's showing two trains an hour between Cov and New Street, and no mention of replacement buses.

Yet the National Rail site seems to imply that there will be buses between Cov and BHX.

Hopefully it's a bit clearer by tomorrow morning - I'm not surprised the club are confused too!

Apologies also if I've added to the mess. I'd probably still be tempted to head off a bit earlier than normal, if possible.
