Fully expect team that started agains Bristol
The great thing is there should be no fatigue
Worked out perfectly for us last night in terms of players legs

Yeah, they still had them all, despite us playing the normally very physical Preston.

From a purely selfish kinda view. I hope we destroy them.

As I live in Hampshire and two of the biggest bellends I know huge Saints fans. Would love for us to make them cry.

 

[Briles]

Apparently Ross Stewart got injured last night too.

Thats a shame. Hes shit

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Show no mercy to anyone.

Won’t be as easy as last night but it’ll be 3 points again,

 

[StrettoBoy]

is a 1-1 draw at west brom considered on an excellent run?

One game doesn’t make a run. Even with that result, which was away from home against an admittedly poor team but one which is desperate for points, they have got 14 points from the last 6 games which is second only to us and Millwall.

I think we underestimate them at our peril.

not the hardest run to be fair though

Win and party time after. We will be almost on the finish line. Think Saturday will be one of the moments of the run in as collectively we appreciate what’s about happen after 25 years. Buzzing.

Nah.

Been injured the last 5 years

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

it’s going to be a decent game and Cov will win 2 nil

 

[long way home]

Id like to see KKH, Esse and Torp given the start.

But FL will not overthink it and bring in Wright for Simms and Eccles, Torp or Esse for BTA. Just want 3 pts no injuries, do that and i don't care what the others do.

Smash the goons Simms with a brace in injury time

 

[Johhny Blue]

Really, really gutted that long-standing plans mean I can't make this one. There's no reason to be anything but supremely confident, I have no doubt that it'll be another massive win in this unforgettable season and another atmosphere to remember!

No excuses. I skipped out of my own wedding reception for City v Southampton.
My reward was an Ian Wallace hat trick

5-0

Probably won't then bother watching the second half to be honest .

Welcome to our world!

They are a footballing side. This won't be easy as they are brimming with confidence and see this as a statement opportunity and galvanize their push into the playoff's. So Wright comes back in all fresh. Torp starts in place of Asante.
7 in a row has not been done before, so sods law says it won't become a reality. A lot depends on how we start and get on the front foot quickly and not allow them space on the ball. I think we can win and make a bit of history, but this one does give me a nagging in the back of my head. A 0-1 defeat could easily happen. They are really up for it given their run and we might too easily think we are too safe and strong to be hurt by anyone. Think Boro v Charlton. It bothers me that our goals the other night were all rather fortuitous tbf given all our dominance but there was a slightly melancholy attitude throughout the game. Knowing any loss will not really hurt us gives me a sense of caution, but a win will almost certainly lift us to new heights with the finish line in clear sight. So Lampard must ensure they are fired up.
