The party ended weeks ago, and anyone who thinks different is deluded FACT
That's a very brave statement!
There you go. Bookies are very rarely wrong.

It's all well and good focusing on Barnsley and Gillingham, but there are also a further 3 teams in front of us too.
We need a 5 team turnaround!But we don't. If we win all 3 then one of them has to win all 3.

We need to do better than 5 teams, so a 5 team turnaround. We need those 3 teams immediately above us to do less than win 3 games in a row.
They win 3 games in a row then we can't make it whatever we do.
That's what I mean. We need a change in fortunes in terms of us achieving better than the 5 teams in front of us.
Oh yes, for sure. If we beat Doncaster and Sheff Utd beat Barnsley and Gillingham fail to win and Rochdale and Scunthorpe don't win either, that increases our chances immeasurably.I think you are softening Otis!!!
So if we do win on Saturday and say Sheff Utd win and Scunny n Dale draw or loose.......Will you agree with me that we can probably do it still?

This is not that though is it. We need 9 points, not 6, but then also need 5 other teams to not get enough points either.
Yeah, but you just wait til next season when the Devil wants payback!Leicester were 5,000 to 1 to win the Premier League at the start of the season
Ah, but you're forgetting we are going to win 5in a row!!Last 6 form
Scunthorpe 13pts
Sheff Utd 13pts
Bradford 13pts
Barnsley 11pts
Rochdale 11pts
Port Vale 7pts
City 7pts
Gillingham 6pts
I don't think it is people throwing in the towel, they are just being realistic.

Remember 1985 Stoke/Luton/Everton

Actually no we don't. If we win all 3 games unlikely I admit ,then we will definitely finish above Sheff Utd as we have to play them. If you look at it like that we are nearly odds on.
Yes indeed. Big, big difference here though. Back then it was all down to us. Win the last 3 games, stay up.Yes, they went into the stoke game 8 points behind with 3 to play when all other fixtures were completed IIRC.
I can remember all the games, just can't remember why we so late finishing the season.
#edit. I remember everyone, everyone saying we were going down that season
I think Gillingham will win on Saturday, but I think they will lose away at Burton and home to MillwallDon't forget Gillingham in all this. If all what you mention happens on Saturday AND
Shrewsbury beat Gillingham (Shrewsbury by the way haven't won since they beat us in early March),
then the table (from 6th down) "could" look like this 5pm Saturday. Even with this, 6th place still not probable but certainly possible!
Team Played Points
Gillingham 44 69
Barnsley 44 69
Sheff Utd 44 68
Coventry 44 66
Rochdale 44 66
Scunthorpe 44 66
We can only dream but if it does happen it would make our home game against Sheff Utd very interesting.
Also, when we were winning to avoud relrgation, you're competing for league position against teams that are struggling for points, so you put a run together its very unlikely one of your rivals will.Yes indeed. Big, big difference here though. Back then it was all down to us. Win the last 3 games, stay up.
This is our having to win 3 games plus Gillingham failing and Barnsley failing and Scunthorpe failing and Rochdale failing.
Big difference. Then it was in our hands, this time it is not.
Yep. That is a massive, massive game. Doncaster have to win. Even a draw might not be enough to save them. They are 5 points behind the teams outsides the drop zone.Also, when we were winning to avoud relrgation, you're competing for league position against teams that are struggling for points, so you put a run together its very unlikely one of your rivals will.
We're hoping for a 5 game winning steak and a load of teams who are in form picking up 1.5-2 points per game, so you're hoping they all drop form.
As Otis says it is possible but improbable, and certainly not a good chance of it happen, more like an outside chance. Lets just focus on Doncaster, rather than getting over excited.

It's obviously not going to happen but it would be nice to go into the last home game with it still meaning something, speaking as a st holder who is going to have to go whatever happens tomorrow
Maybe he is from the future and posted that at 5 pm tomorrow his time!Nope, sorry can not accept the Obviously not going to happen bit!! You don't know that.
Coventry City are Bullseye!getting aheadache reading all these permitations lol
it'll be just like city to get 2 wins and sneak into the top 6 then lose at oldham and slip back out
and just as likely we lose all 3 games and all look stupid AGAIN for supporting this doomed team
been a better season than most, and hoping for a better go of it next year, but fuck me city dont half fuck with the mind dont they
Coventry City are Bullseye!
'Ere, come and have a look at what you could have won.'

Nothing wrong with dreaming, but I'm sure no one will be queing up at the bookies to stick big money on us doing it.

So 5 O'clock tomorrow night then?Quite right, there is only an outside chance, but still a chance.
That's my position against people saying there is no chance, can't happen, lets now play the youngsters ready for next season, sack Mowbray now, etc. etc. etc.
While there is still a mathematical chance we should work on the basis it might happen and give the team some morale support, not keep using words like deluded, unrealistic, season finished end of.
Leave the inquest until the season really is over.
