I pity you for coming from Leicester

It's always good to look back at previous triumphs but the most important time is the present. Your club has mortgaged their remaining Prem payments to keep going and pay overrated players on massive wages nobody will take on. You're in big trouble if you don't go up this season. If you get a 10 point deduction you go level with Sheffield Wednesday on points

Look on the bright side. You're not far behind us although you've scored less than half the goals we have and have conceded more You need to keep winning to keep up with us yet you've won less than half your games. If somehow we lose our next game and you win yours we will still be above you.

I notice Lampard wasn’t nominated for manager of the month and no one in the player of the month. I actually think this is good for the motivation of the team and the manager.

It's absolutely criminal that we don't have at least one player nominated in there, top of the league, 20+ goal difference, 5 clean sheets, leading all the stat charts, getting at least 2 players in team of the week most weeks?
Don't know how we haven't had at least 3 players nominated

9 of the goals scored were at the start of October and there were also 3 draws in the month. I do think there should be at least 1 nomination but perhaps that was part of the reasoning.

Ipswich have the best squad depth in the Championship, but when it comes to the best eleven when full fit, Coventry arguably trumps it, and they've been so dominant to start the campaign.

The fact that the only real major departure this past summer was Ben Sheaf, and even he wasn't getting into Frank Lampard's starting squad most weeks, is insane, as there are so many Premier League-ready players in this squad.

Haji Wright's already got eight goals, Milan van Ewijk has already got five assists, and Brandon Thomas-Asante and Victor Torp are stepping up in attacking areas as well. They've beaten a current play-off side 7-1 and have netted three goals a game through the opening nine.

The week before the international break, they won 3-0, 4-0 and 5-0. Two of which came away from home, and all were done without their most influential player, Jack Rudoni.

This team's dangerous, Frank Lampard has them all singing off the same hymn sheet, and only injuries are what stand between Coventry and a Championship title.

100%. Not fussed about the weekly/monthly awards. It just means our players have to play even better!
Especially not the dreaded MOTM award.

Keeps egos in check and if they carry on we'll have to settle for all the POTS awards!

i think we are conditioned to be glass half empty but we do have a really, really good team this year and if we stay injury free we have a chance at doing very well indeed

Leicester are likely to be a threat, regardless of points deduction (unless its something unprecedented like 20 pts)

Yeah even with a points deduction they'll likely make the play-offs still.

Possibly. But currently the stats suggest they're in a bit of a false position.

Half of their goals have come from outside the box. Opposition teams will adapt to that so it'll be interesting to see how Cifuentes shifts tactics.

It's been fun listening to podcasts during this international break that's for sure

The times did a really good one on us worth checking out.

And another one I heard all predicted Ipswich to win title but cov second and in with a chance so it's all very exciting right now

I think it's a case of they will go under really quickly or a heavy points deduction will see them spiral down the leagues one year at a time

So if they get 30k fans to chip in £33.33 each they should piss it.
Or they could just sell Barry Bannan
