1st Coventry WON 25pts
------------------------------------
2nd Middlesbrough WON 24pts
_____________________________
Stoke LOST 18pts
Leicester LOST 17pts
Ipswich LOST 13 pts
Southampton LOST 12 PTS

Gap to 3rd widens a bit more. 4/5 auto rivals lost. All parachute teams lost!

Not gonna add or remove any rivals yet . Maybe if likes of Bristol hang around for till next international break can add them but for me it's still these 5 teams who will rival us

Here's to more weeks like this!

The main thing is cutting off the connecting pack. If both us and Boro pull away I don't really care. go up 1st or 2nd doesn't matter to me.

Think you'll find Boro fans think the same.

Second priority is winning league though and it is something I want to do just for looking back on it fondly etc so I hope Boro fall away too and they join the others in duking it out for 2nd

i could not give a rats arse if Stoke finish second with all due respect

I care.

I have no affection for Stoke at all but I still hold Mark Robins in high esteem for all that he did for us and I'd be very happy if they came up with us.

In second place, obviously

Think they'll fall away but I fully expect boro to go the distance.
Be nice to see a couple of teams unseat the parachute brigade

Not sold on Boro getting automatics just yet. I guess if I was I'd be celebrating cov as promoted already!

Not if they keep playing like last night when they lacked the willingness to kill off a game. I know they should have had a penalty to help with that but better teams than Wednesday would have got something from the game.

Boro will be around there, same for Leicester imo. We just have to stay as consistent as possible and we will be fine.

Leicester will have a points deduction
Their real gap behind us is therefore around 17 points

If youre not convinced, they are 12/1 for a top 2 finish
The bookies wouldnt be offering those odds unless they were convinced

Note we are odds of 7/12

we are 1/12 to finish top 6 , leicester are odds against at 13/8 - so more likely to finish out of the top 6 than within

When interviewed recently, Robins said they are miles off an automatic promotion team.
Think he was trying to dampen some over enthusiastic Stoke fans claims. Also probably saying wants players in January.

covmark · 2025-10-23T19:45:38+0100

Seen a few posts of fans being pleased if Stoke go up alongside us because of Robins. Genuinely couldn't give a fuck. As long as we're up there.

We all three to make it with US top of the pile by a decent margin say 6-9 point's and a goal difference of+,40gls

There's nothing to worry about then. I've heard we're going to be playing on grass.
