Infact our record after 29 games is identical to the season we made the playoffs
Thanks to who?
In the play off season though we went on a run of 2 losses in 18 games from this very same point. I just don't think we have the team for that kind of run this year.
And last year backs that up as well. Another top half finish I expect this year, of course would be glad to be proven wrong. Just don't see it.
It's a throwback to the 70s for me. When I was growing up as a supporter in the 70s we all said Cov, never Sky Blues. I think I just say City now.
I listen to LBC everyday and that prick O’Brien makes my piss boil, I have recently stopped listening and gone over to GBnews when he comes on air. I wish nothing but pain on him, the left wing Lilly livered wet weasel from KidderminsterYeah James O'Brien a woke lefty scumbag he loves ripping people to pieces, to think he makes a living out of it.
Cov for speaking about location. Cov (mostly) for team.
Couldn’t give a shit about historic egg toss references.

I use it, stole if from the rugby. Loved hearing old boys shouting "Go on, Cov!" after a few hours sinking Guinness.
'kinnell, this is like Greggs and 'Town', but worse.
Find it weird that some people don't say cov tbh
Grates on me that some people pronounce coventry like Cuventry IE Jim white on talksport
Did you see us making playoffs at this point in 2022/23 or further back, us winning the league in 2019/20?
On both occasions, I didn’t. 6 points off playoffs is a good place to be, especially since we’ve nearly halved that deficit since Norwich away. Hilariously, there was more than few people reckoning we were in for a relegation battle post-Norwich away.
He's made O'Brien look like exactly what he is there. Obnoxious sniveling little prick.
I agree, but that's only the fans' perceptions because they want to win every week, and we expected much more than most this season.
It's so competitive, and it's probably fairer to say that most teams from 4th down have been good but apparently inconsistent because they are coming up against other good sides all the time.
I don't buy the argument it's a poor division , it's hyper competitive and a division full of lots of good sides with lots of good players that can beat eachother on any given day
Was great to see him do the whole MVE fist pump yesterday, helps build the fan connection and is another sign all things are following the right trajectory.
But crikey, how awkward did it look?! I always thought he was quite a “cool” guy, but you wouldn’t have thought it!
Long may it continue!

Nah I’ve been amazed how poor the majority of teams we’ve played this season have been.
Well if that's true, they're all completely wasting many millions of pounds on players, coaches, staff and facilities.
I mean compared to previous seasons. I thoughts Leeds were excellent and Burnley efficient but previous years I’d have thought a few above us play nice football or look better. Almost every game this season has felt reasonably close even if we’re playing badly.
Yes to the title (Or at least the opportunity to) And no to the play offs. I didn't say it wasn't possible, I just don't think this team will do it.And just like I haven't overreacted to any of the defeats or low points this season, I won't to missing out. It's a young team that is growing, and just needs that extra bit of support in the right places.
Just because it's happened before doesn't mean it will again, this team doesn't have the personality or the world class talents that we had in the play off season. I don't think it's far off, but this team will definitely lose more than 2 games between now and the end of the season.
While I tend to agree I still think we've got more wriggle room than 2 defeats.
17 games left;
We’ve got to win at least 10 -
30 points and takes us to 68.
then the remaining 7 games -
win 1/draw3/loose3 - additional 6 takes you to 74 which may be enough for 6th
I think it’s too much, but just glad we are showing signs of morphing back into a team again. And it’s great to just feel there’s something on the games. Just worry about Swansea for now…….fancy us again

I hate that smug wanker O'Brien so I'm glad to hear this: Up the Lampard!
He's not a lefty FFS. One of many centrist dickhead journalists to throw their toys out of the pram at the prospect of a mildly left wing governmentYeah James O'Brien a woke lefty scumbag he loves ripping people to pieces, to think he makes a living out of it.
Promising uncle Donald that he's deregulating today, it's like Maggie and Reagan all over again
I wouldn’t worry about it too much, just take it game by game!17 games left;

74 points should be enough for 5th or maybe even 4th.
Yes everyone who isn’t Corbyn is Maggie. We know. Remind me who handed the Tories their biggest majority since Maggie again?
I agree, and the meltdowns when we lose have been silly all season IMO.
Just a thought - if both teams look poor, in a funny way it might be because they are both playing well enough to snuff each other out...
Top 4 locked in now for me. just who comes 2/3/4.
Expect boro to lock 5th down, thought they are v inconsistent
6th up for grabs.
