Lies, damned lies and statistics, lol One thing that struck me was that having a loss in one of the last 3league games was seen as a big negative to your chances of promotion, lucky we didn't know that 2 years ago as our 2 losses in the last 3 would have meant we had no chance

Really don't think Coventry have taken their foot off the gas. More likely anxiety as they got closer to the finish line May well play with more freedom now. They'll want to be champions for a start

Yes, as long as long as they each have a separate email address the tickets will go straight to them. I bought tickets for myself and 2 of my family for the Arsenal and WBA games and they received their tickets direct.

To be more precise it was a few days after the LC semi final 2nd leg at Liverpool and was at the end of a sequence of 2 games a week, including the infamously tedious FA Cup 3rd round replay at home to Norwich. Basically ot was a game too far for our squad.

I agree. All the teams left in the Champions League will want a Saturday slot leaving West Ham Leeds on the Sunday. My guess is we'll be lunchtime or teatime.

I'll go for a draw so it's easier for us to overtake both of them, lol

Looks like the first goes through a defender's (Jack?) legs and is deflected. So probably not as bad as it looks on first sight. Third is a tremendous strike that goes into the top corner. Want my goalie to save both but it could be that most would have let them in.

Definitely want Leeds to stay up, not because I have any particular likeness for them, but to give those of aspiring to get back to 'the promised land ' that survival is quite possible.

On that theme also noticeable that Edozie was the first there. Amazingly he seems to be be well integrated with the rest of the squad. Truly remarkable given the last 6 months, and 2 transfer windows when all we heard that he wanted away.

Another way of analysing that list is that the average over the last 6 years is 72. Still would mean 10 wins and 2 draws from 16 games. Highly unlikely given our performances over the season, but not impossible As Badger says, it's the hope that kills you

Standing and seated

Harsh on Ferdinand, thought he was the only one who looked like they knew what they were doing there

Well at least one of his two posts was dubious/misleading at least. The claim we enquired about JWP could never have been about a transfer last January. Not saying there wasn't a chat about JWP and his future in January and not saying O'Neil's agent hasn't contacted the club and said 'Gary is willing to step in' but I would be amazed, and disappointed if it went much further than that.

I'm afraid you (and a few others on here) are wrong . We have the 3rd highest xG in the league . Our problem is our actual goals are nearly 0.4 goals a game below what we should have scored compounded by us conceding 0.2 goals a game more than we should. So not attacking enough isn't our problem. Not converting chances and not defending well enough is our problem

We also have well over 10 aways but failed to act quickly enough today to get tickets. My own fault for leaving it until this afternoon. Pretty obvious though with such a relatively small allocation that they should have started at 12 or 14, possibly dropping the figure after lunch (as they planned to do on following days).
