Thankfully we have a manager who has handled this sort of pressure many times as a player and has the right mentality to keep people on track. We need to strengthen next month and we surely will do.
In all likelihood, and this is just common sense speaking, we will be overtaken by the likes of Southampton, Ipswich and Middlesborough if we don’t strengthen the team in January.
I’m not buying into the hype and media furore surrounding ‘Frank Lampard’s Coventry’ after a fantastic start to a season, and I will not accept we’re automatic promotion material unless we’re around the top 3 come March or April.
There are too many good teams in this league, teams with experience of yo-yoing, and we have to dig in and accept we’re not promoted yet.
If Southampton average half a point more than us in every remaining game we will still finish above them. Every time we win the points difference per game needed will go up even if they also win. They were lucky against WBA at home last game. Every stat was against them. They recently lost to Millwall. They need better form than we've had so far just to have a chance. Just playoff form should be enough to get us over the line.
The CBS is a fortress. We've played 9 at home and 11 away so far. We've also played most of our more difficult away games.
