Don’t judge us till we’ve played 10 games (3 Viewers)

[Major Tom]

A start we could only dream of. Everything and everyone has just clicked from the staff, coaching team to every player who walks onto the pitch. The stability Doug has brought too must also have an effect.

You can see the desire to keep that clean sheet run going and even though we were not as fluid today as previous games you could still see the confidence in the team when we moved the ball around.
It’s a fantastic time to support the sky blues .. enjoy it!

Anyone know why we can’t sell the column of seats by the away segregationi? There’s stewards you could put in the segregation and games like today you could extend it. Surely there’s another couple of hundred you could squeeze out there?

Been saying that for ages, seems really odd when 'sold out'

I don’t see why, when it’s a low away turnout like today, that the fence can’t be moved over and most of block 9 be given to home fans

If we’re still top after 20-25 games, then it’s past the realms of merely a ‘flying start’ and into serious shit-your-pants-in-anticipation territory.

It’s all downhill from Valentines Day IMO. We’ll have played Boro Leicester and Ipswich twice and Southampton away. Depending on how things are shaping up Stoke and WBA later that month too. Last 11 look very winnable TBH. November and December are tough months, so if we’re still in touch with the top New Years Day I’ll start getting very excited.

December I see as the hardest month-so many fixtures combined with conditions that make injuries all the more likely. Get through it in contention for the autos and the cavalry can arrive in January.

I believe they will. The shutters look like they've been upgraded in the concourse.

The fence can be moved as it was when Ipswich sold out the entire end last season in the cup.

Stewards can't go in the segregation bit as they are just seats. They would need to jump over them to get in. Compare our segregation to Huddersfield where police offers and stewards regular walk up and down. It's why you only see stewards and police offers in the Coventry side of the segregation when the end is full. It must be annoying for Doug because it's a waste of 300 unsold seats.

Makes sense. I’ve never been over there so assumed they were gates or something. Even so is standing on the concourse that bad in a game like today with a full block between fans?

Doug will rejig it in the summer I'd imagine.

They will need to. Blackburn won't be the only side who struggle to sell 3000 tickets.

It's absolutely fine. Plenty of space before the game.

Toilets would struggle with an extra 300 people.

I think I already feel like that a bit to be honest. We are just so good at the moment, and I don't feel fear towards any of our opponents at all.

If we go to Fratton Park and take three points at a ground we got spanked at last season, and with them in considerably stronger shape too, I'll be closer to that way of thinking.

Was the last time we were at the top under Mowbray? I know we had Arma, Kent and Murphy, but it all went tits up after Christmas. I can't see Frank letting things slip like that this time

It was Robins when we won league 1

Looking forward to seeing the 2026 Darius Henderson and Stephen Hunt to get us over the line.
