I don't think they will, they drop too many points. Pretty sure their fans would've trade 6 points v Oxford and Blackburn rather than the satisfaction of beating us handily.

If we beat PNE and Bristol, we probably extend our lead at the top of the table and we have a date in December to put the loss v Ipswich to rights.

Idk about all you, I really want this year to be the season we win at Deepdale, probably more than Ipswich or Southampton away.

Don’t think we’ve ever won at St Mary’s either have we?

Last 6 form table, wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the top 6 at the end of the season

Crucially even with the Ipswich loss, we are still joint top so nobody has gained on us over that period

Just need to keep focusing on ourselves

They've got a tough run themselves; Birmingham, Hull, Boro, Sheff U and ourselves all to play by Jan 21st. Oxford away is potential banana skin for them on Boxing Day. Southampton's run has been good, but in context, they lost their most difficult fixture v Millwall. Beating QPR, Sheff W, Charlton isn't exactly impressive. Leicester and Birmingham at home was impressive, but then again, Birmingham's away form is honking (2-2-6).

Again, the run rate required from Southampton and Ipswich is more or less WWWWWL for the rest of the season. If they maintain that, fair play to them.

There's always a first time. Before we beat Boro in the playoffs, we hadn't won their since 1993 and now we've won the last 4 away there. Throughout the noughties and 2010s, we were dross so we've stacked a fair few boogie teams and stadiums over those years!

1st Coventry DRAW 44pts
------------------------------------
2nd Middlesbrough WON 39pts
_____________________________
Ipswich WON 33 pts
Southampton WON 30 pts
Stoke LOST 30pts

5pt gap to second
9pt gap to 3rd

3/4 won again we drew which was dissapoitning but should remember that we were better team even when it was 11 Vs 11 we just didn't take our chances. At least we're not playing badly

Bristol game is big. We need to get back that winning feeling quickly and take advantage when some of our rivals start dropping pts again. Ipswich and soton seem most likely and be interesting to see if boros manager is real deal or not

Nothing changes. One game at a time. We start winning again and everything takes care of itself.

I think you are safe to remove Stoke.

 

[covcity4life]

Likely not far away. 20pt gap and I will

If we can just win a few in a row again it's gonna shake off a few teams most likely. We are still in a great position.

Yes, think you are right. I don’t see any of them slipping up.

Maybe but the new Norwich could trouble Southampton if the Saints play like they did against WBA.

Not unbelievable that the knickerstitchers full their fingers out and get something against Ipswich. They have the players to do so.

 

[Gleneagles65]

Gutted for Leicester, 2 points dropped tonight.

Southampton are scoring loads. I'd be surprised if Norwich beat them.

I think Southampton will fly up the league. Thankfully we've got 14 point lead.

They can also be shite in defence as seen this week.

They also have to play Us, Millwall, Boro, Blues away, Hull and Sheffield United in the next month and a bit. Also Oxford away which is a potential banana skin.

Norwich will give Southampton a game, they are not a bottom 3 club.

Sargent went off injured last night, plus another key player apparently.
They can't buy a win at the moment.

On a decent run, but only won 2 against the current top half -
