If we are in the top 2 by christmas we will get promoted (8 Viewers)

Yesterday's win chipped away at my skyblue 1/2 glass full outlook! We did well but I was feeling a bit panicy towards the end, not had that feeling until now. Long may the run continue though i keep looking out for the teams that can put a decent runs together and Bristol City look good

I know what you mean but teams that still win when they aren't playing well generally do pretty well. I think part of it is our expectations have risen dramatically.

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No team has scored more goals than CCFC (34) at this point in a Championship season. Even if we failed to score on Friday, we might even hold the record for 13 games too

 

[Lamps]

11 games to half way - 18 points keeps us on 2 points per game - something like the set of results below looks reasonable

Wrexham A Win
Sheff U H Draw
Stoke A Lose
WBA H Win
Middlesbrough A Draw
Charlton H Win
Ipswich A Lose
Preston A Draw
Bristol C H Win
Southampton A Lose
Swansea H Win

Sheffield United H draw? Hamer is out injured. Other than O'Hare they will be poor and he is too lightweight for our defence. Their defence is shockingly bad. 2-0 up after 16 minutes last game and still lost. Great OG by Tanganga though

Lose to both Ipswich and Southampton? They've only won 6 games between them out of 23. A combination of 30 goals for and 30 against. They would both have to vastly improve to have a decent chance.

Southampton have seriously underperformed their xG mind you, their form will turn soon.

When they sack Will Still that Southampton will turn it around

Could, will and might.

2 wins out of 12 and in 20th. I'll stick to what I said before the season started. Will Still hasn't got the experience needed for the Championship. If they change manager I will reconsider how they will do this season.

I think thats a reasonable place to sit at right now , the next 10 games for me are on paper pretty tough but thankfully right now with GD we have some buffer

At what point will people believe we can genuinely do it ?

For me its this , Xmas day top 2 coventry city will be promoted

Weve played 9 of those 10 games i mentioned .

Won 6 drew 1 lost 2

 

[covcity4life]

For me its this , Xmas day top 2 coventry city will be promoted

How can anybody make such definite statements, especially about Coventry and the championship like have any of you watched football before
It'd put us in a good position but absolutely nothing is settled in December, its statements like this that can make us come across as arrogant and presumpcious. Like Lampard said enjoy it, but don't expect it all the time!

I couldn't give a fuck if we come across as arrogant and presumptuous; it's not going to make the blindest bit of difference to the outcome and it's great fun to revel in the extraordinary season we're having. It's not far off a hundred years since we were top at Christmas, so I'm unlikely to experience this again in a hurry, and perhaps never again. I'm enjoying it, even if some of you can't seem to.
