Coventry city have the worst away record in the entire football league I believe. They are without their captain and player of the season. They are without one of their main midfielders They no squad depth and their bench was made up of 16 and 17 year olds in the last game. They will be forced to play 16 and 17 year olds in some positions on Saturday We have the leagues best player and top goal scorer. We are 2 pts ahead, better Goal difference and more goals scored We have the best attacking midfielder in the league Even when we play badly, we still create chances. We will have 32,000 fans cheering us on. Sorted.

The drinks would then be on you.

Ahh, other clubs have the dreaded tv 'curse'' too. "We're even worse in front of the cameras"

They have no other centre backs available. So it will have to be him.

No! Although they did take an early lead which didn't help matters.

A 16 year old youth team product is set to make his debut.

I would have to say the same, as fans we'd be demoralized and the players would ultimately feel the same. We're on a very poor run of form at the moment, no 2 ways about it, and if we do end up int he playoffs we will be on our worst run of the season. Therefore we'd have no chance in my book. But it won't happen, so it's all academic.

Totally, cannot wait. Not sure what I can do to speed this week up, as it's already dragging.

It is.

I think there will be an explosion up in the Alps, unexplained until they read this site.

It's just nerves. Everyone will have them, even our players I expect tbh. If we play even 50% as well as we can, we'll win.

I remember the panic against Southend 5 years ago, but that was much more squeaky than this. If i remember rightly we needed to win by a couple of goals to guarantee it? Might be wrong though. We did the biz against Southend though in a very similarly setup game.

And their best midfielder, Sammy Clingan. By all accounts they will be fielding alot of squad and youth players according to their fans.

A bit sad.

They do have Clive Platt though to be fair.

This.

I don't think we'll freeze, this isn't Real Madrid we're playing. All the pressure was on us going to P'Boro, going to Palace, both better teams than Coventry - and we won at a canter without much trouble. We will have a full house, a terrific atmosphere and up against a team with a 16 year old making his debut at CB alongside Rickie Lambert, and one of our own 'not good enough' players in Craine. If we play as we did against Portsmouth, Reading, Doncaster, spells in the M'Boro game then we'll win at a canter. I don't get the logic of people saying that Coventry will be tricky as they have nothing to play for. So why were Leicester going to be a walkover for WHU because they had nothing to play for? At the end of the day it's always clear to see, when teams have nothing to play for they drop off a %. It always happens, you cannot help it. As a player or any professional when you haven't got anything to play for your drive will not be as high as it would have been. They are up against a team that are a win from the premier league, we have the leagues best player and the leagues best midfielder. Let's just enjoy the day and embrace the opportunity we have. The players will not let this chance slip and Coventry will not know what's hit them.

Demonstrated that he isn't, and never was, a professional football player.

If we score draw. If it's 0-0 3-0 will be enough for them.

This week is now going to insanely drag.

At least it's not on Sky I guess.

This. A truly inept professional footballer, how he ever made it in the professional game beggars belief.

They will trounce Hull, so we need to win. Tonight's result was always going to happen, you could see it as soon as Leicester went in front. There was no way Leicester could continue to withstand the onslaught, and they didn't. They made a good effort, but when you've got nothing to play for there is no doubt that you lose a competitive %. The last day it is, well and truly in our hands and it's exactly how I thought it would go. Don't panic.
