I just wonder how damaging the past two results will have been. Even two draws would have put them in a position of real strength, belief and confidence. Now surely that will be flagging? I actually think Wednesday are the team to watch. Everyone thinks they are down and they are not a threat but they still have two winnable home games left and they travel to Boro too who are in rotten form as of late. They can still feasibly put themselves in a position where they need to win on the last day to overtake us and that is a worry for me. But again it is down to us to put things beyond doubt, be it 4 points or 14 points needed. Until we put the work in, I won’t relax. You can relax if it becomes impossible for us to go down even if the Rams don't put the work in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Im sure last week Cov fans thought they couldnt see a win coming and they have won 2 in a row. Im sure Huddersfield fans thought the same and they beat Forest away. I know a lot of fans think that they cant see us winning but that doesnt mean we cant or wont. We have played pretty well in all 4 games since the international break and have deserved more than 3pts from them. Carry on playing like we have then a win will come, we just need to tighten up defensively. All the talk is us not scoring enough goals but we have scored 4 in 4 but only kept 1 clean sheet, dont concede = dont lose. Covs last 2 wins both 1-0, Hudd whose defence has looked awful recently won 2-0 this weekend. Birmingham have kept 4 clean sheets in a row.

plymouthram Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 What could be in our favour, we play Tuesday against Preston and if we win it puts more pressure on Rotherham to get 3 pts against M'Boro on the Wednesday. The big problem is, if we lose at Preston, Rotherham will be up for it. Still a big ask for Rotherham to play 6 more matches in 19 days especially with 2 matches against teams in the play off mix. Another stat on Rotherham, the current top half of the table (top 12) Rotherham have only beaten 2 teams, a 3-0 win over M'Boro and their recent 3-1 win against QPR. Out of their 6 remaining fixtures they have 4 teams to play from the top half of the table. On the worrying side, their last 3 matches Blackburn, Luton and Cardiff will have nothing to play for. So I hope by then they are down and we are not at a disadvantage. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjam Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The really sad thing is that if we had just drawn with Rotherham twice this season we would have already been 10 points clear of them. If they do pip us to safety those 2 games will have been key in our demise. r_wilcockson and TigerTedd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it about time we got an OCG buying our club? Forget changing the amortisation rules and taking court action against former employees, let's start referee intimidation and blackmail oppo goalkeepers. Get some of the weaker academy prospects into football administration and in 20 years, we'll have our own people running the game on the inside. Forget crying about fair play in the media, if a rival is spying on our training session, beat up one of their people. If we controlled the police, by now Keogh would have returned from his freak shower injury and be leading us to glory. Or not.

SKRam Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 18 hours ago, Coconut said: If you extend your logic further it's better for us to be 22nd going into the final game (which is what would happen if Rotherham pick up points and we don't) with the possibility of needing to outperform 2-3 teams to stay up, than it is to go into the final game in 20th with just needing to equal the result of the team below us. But you wouldn’t need to outperform 2-3 teams to stay up. I’m happy to crawl out of the bottom three above one team I’m not greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinnitdough Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I can’t believe we’re the team in Championship with fewest goals. I suggest if we ever get a player like Vydra again, lets keep em. And allow me to beat the dead horse: Lack of options forward has killed us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
