On Tuesday the body language of the players at the end told me that beating Pompey convinced them 100 percent they could get an auto spot.
It was great to see but being a Cov fan I had to see a negative and started worrying that they might get complacent!
Yesterday's performance told me that won't happen, hopefully I'm right.
I was massively impressed with their attitude yesterday. Given the weather (keep mentioning it, but it was crap), the fact it was an away game at a small, compact stadium against a team we ‘should’ beat. It was a different kind of test to the Portsmouth game, and one that the Coventry of recent times would likely have made hard work of. But the players were excellent in their application. Determined and focussed. They didn’t assume it was there for the taking, but on the other hand they never once looked in doubt. They believe.
They are displaying many of the attributes required for a winning team, and this is why I personally think we can do it this year. The one main attribute required now is consistency — nail that and it’s our title.
Happy days.
