1st Coventry WON 51pts
------------------------------------
2nd Middlesbrough DRAW 43pts
_____________________________
Ipswich DRAW 38 pts
Stoke DRAW 34pts
Southampton LOST 31 pts

8pt gap to second
13pt gap to 3rd

A perfect match day with 4/4 rivals dropping points whilst we took advantage with a win!

With that bad loss Southampton are now 20pts behind cov and are ELIMINATED from our rivals list!

Sad to see that we have already eliminated “Souenity FC”, thought they could be real challengers.

No, too soon to eliminate Stoke for some people.

20pt cut off



As for Hull Preston etc

We could add them. But are we just doing it to pad the list? I'll have a think around fa cup time

I think so,though with the exception of the cup game, (and some might want them to win that), we could do with Stoke having a decent 5 or 6 week spell given their fixtures.

------------------------------------
2nd Middlesbrough LOST 43pts
_____________________________
Ipswich WON 41 pts
Stoke LOST 34pts

8pt gap to second
10pt gap to 3rd

As good as we could expect after our result earlier in the day with no one but Ipswich taking advantage

A great position to be. Whisky today is nothing to be happy about it may be even more reason to expect we will get promoted?

Hull beating Middlesbrough did us a massive favour.
Borough fans must be even more pissed off than our fans tonight, not only did they miss out on a golden opportunity to close the gap, but they've now got an in form Ipswich breathing down their neck.

The pundits on CBS Sports are starting to turn against us and saying we’re arrogant and not playing for each other and that the wheels are coming off. Hope they’re wrong.

Really don’t know what we’ve done to earn that sort of criticism.

Looking at the xG table Hull and to a lesser extent Boro are massively over performing their xG. Combined with their squad Ipswich are probably the only genuine contenders?

Yep. We’ve been dropping down the xG table for a while now and caught up with us.

Sure, my only point is the stats predicted the results and I suspect that will be the same for a few other teams.

1st Coventry DRAW 52pts
------------------------------------
2nd Ipswich WON 44 pts
_____________________________
Middlesbrough LOST 43pts
Stoke WON 37pts

8pt gap to second
9pt gap to 3rd

2/4 rivals won. Ipswich are a worry for sure but as @clint van damme has said before we actually want stoke to have a great month or so

It's still a very healthy lead and buys us time to get back into form

It really could be much worse if results went badly in other games last 2 matchdays. We have to take heart from the luck we're getting even when we don't win ourselves.

If we don’t get autos, I don’t think this team is mentally strong or confident enough to go up via the playoffs.
