I refuse to make a prediction for fear of:
a) a negative prediction coming true
b) a positive prediction putting the mockers on our season.

But if I'm honest, I will be disappointed if this season doesn't end positively.

So you are negativily positive then !

We win our games in hand and beat them and we are four points ahead how is that out of reach?

Rotherham look certainties as it stands but are not out of reach at the moment - its all in our hands - Rotherham no fixture today - If we were to win today (Bolton) & Tuesday (Portsmouth) brings us within 2 points of Rotherham and still a game in hand - We also play Rotherham shortly - I think it will finish somthing like this
1 Coventry
2 Rotherham
3 Portsmouth
4 Sunderland
5 Ipswich
6 Doncaster/Wycombe

Opinion lads, what makes us think we will win 3 games in hand and beat them? I’m guessing we’ve only won 3 in a row once this year and Rotherham’s style is almost out kryptonite

I didn’t word it very well but the point I was making was that Rotherham are not out of reach yet. They are the ones to catch, however.

Portsmouth worry me also.

They're not out of reach of course, but they are in the strongest position and clearly are playing well. It is quite a gap to bridge, even with the games in hand. 'Win all our games in hand' is much easier to say than to do. Win today and Tuesday and it all looks very different though, but that said, we've only strung two or more wins together once all season. Win/draw/win/draw has put us in a great position, but we need to kick on now and win games back to back. Today is a great opportunity.

Nobody said it would be easy! We don’t have to win 3 on the bounce though, just 3 more than them between now and the end of the season, which would usually be a big ask but fortunately we have 3 games in hand so it’s eminently possible and still in our own hands.

Doesn't make sense does it? we've got 3 games in hand and play them at home in a couple of weeks!

we don't need to win our 3 games in hand. We need to win 2 and beat Rotherham at home.

Rotherham will drop points when we pick them up, vice versa. The finish to this season will be tight.

1 bad game this season cannot be considered our kryptonite just yet. For starts, we’ve changed formation and with that, our tactics too.

I’ll reiterate that we’ve lost only once since we’ve played 3-4-2-1.

They’re physical and press high. I think we have looked weak against teams who are similar. Doesn’t mean we won’t beat them anyway

I know lads who have never gone week in week out but pick and choose their games. When we're doing well they tend to go a bit more frequently but they just aren't going to Brum. Nothing to do with politics they just can't be arsed.
It's a real shame and no doubt they'll be at the play off final if we get there but in terms of attracting back lost support it's just not going to happen in Brum.
It's such a shame that this year's efforts aren't getting the support they deserve due to our situation.

If we beat Portsmouth, Wycombe and Rotherham then I think we will finish top 2.

However the cynic in me thinks we will lose at least one of those.

Tuesday is a massive game!

Pathetic turnout agreed - not seemingly adding to the fan base at home due to the circumstances - It’s frightening what sort of turnout we would have if we were stuck in the relegation spots – This team has got to get back to Cov for next season or I fear for our future

I wasn’t, no one encourages them. Should be on the radio and local press saying get to the games. Fine everyone has a choice but at least talk about how exciting things are!

Tbf anybody who vaguely follows us will know how exciting things are.

Even in Coventry it'd be relatively slow to increase as we've blown up too many times before. If Robins sees us over the line for a second time, that might change.

Anyway on that note... we'll finish ninth.

Agreed. But twice bitten twice shy.
