I prefer to think that Liverpool are the Coventry of the Premier League.

I hope that the players are fired up for this one after putting in by far their worst performance of the season in the away game.

If you want to see arrogance then read the Sunderland forum. Apparently they have top spot and automatic wrapped by next weekendInternet rules (applies to all sports):
You think you’ll beat us: Arrogance.
We think we’ll beat you: Realism.
In truth of course, the default emotion for all footy fans, especially those who actually attend games, is pessimism. Especially after they’ve seen the team sheet.

This Rotherham game feels like the Portsmouth home game - we all thinking that they would come here and roll us over and we would be happy with a point!
They weren’t all that were they? even though they were unbeaten for ages.
We beat them and we will beat Rotherham - it’s time to believe - the Sky Blue Juggernaut rolls on to the Championship! (Hopefully)

Win 1 of the 2 -
Beat Rotherham and lose to Sunderland - We are 3 points ahead of both after the same games
Beat Sunderland and lose to Rotherham - we are then level with Rotherham and 6 ahead of Sunderland
With Sunderland still to play Rotherham
So must win at least 1 and we are in a very good position

What, 9 wins in our last 11 games isn't great form?

Sorry that was a typo, meant to say our HOME form hasn't been the greatest lately.
I've gone back and amended.

In the context of autos/winning the league.
We're the best side away from home over the last 8 games, we're the 5th best at home.
We've scored 16 in 8 games away from home. We've scored just 10 in 8 at home. Our points tally is still excellent, but first 8 games we were head and shoulders above everyone else at home.

See for yourself, we’re two points off second in the home table. 8 pts off top with 3 games in hand.
Only 3 ‘home’ games in 2020, won two, drew once in Jan. Lost only once at ‘home’ all season.

We've amended the shortfall from many of those earlier draws and achieved bar a decimal point the two point average that usually garuantees.promotion.
Whatever happens over the next three shouldn't overall stop us.maintainimg that rate
Dynamics of the mind can play a part though

5 games home over January and December. Won 3, free twice. Facing Ipswich and Portsmouth around us.
We’ve started to hit a real stride after the Shrewsbury game.

Here' out home form over the last 5 games. I wasn't being hyper critical just pointing out that whilst we have been immense away, our home form has sagged a tad.
I've said on another thread if we keep our current home and our current way form we should win the league by 3 points.

Just a reminder of the goals. Probably our worst performance of the season. All the goals were defensive howlers.

We started the season with Wes Jobello being a big part of our style of play
This game was shortly after his injury

It has the potental to go either way on form with a draw the most likely outcome.
We create chances all the time whereas Rotherham rely heavily on set pieces. If we defend those well, and protect McCallum on the left I think Rotherham could struggle to create chances.
I do think we need an attacking element to us with someone closer to Godden. Shippers did look effective in that role a few games ago. But we may cancel each other out in midfield and end with a bore draw! It will probably come down to an individual errror or bit of brilliance.
I think we can win if we stay brave, play our natural game and as always never give up for 90 minutes.

I think Rotherham will play the long ball game and bypass are midfield, so the back 5 and Marosi will have to be at their best .

3 games ago we needed to win 11 out of 16 to get to 84 points and that’s now 8 out of 13.
So 68.75% of games which is now down to
61.5% of games
We really shouldn’t underestimate the run we’re on

Peterborough no chance
Fleetwood and Wycombe have better chances
I really think the top spot is 1 of 3

How can you say our home form hasn’t been the best lately. Last 8 league matches won 5 drawn 3 hardly poor.

So what you are saying is that we could win, could lose or could most likely draw?
I can see how you could come to that conclusion.

Not sure if posted but
“They have a game in hand which I think they’ll lose”
Very odd

I hope Rotherham watch back the highlights from the first game, no way will we play as badly (as we havent again all season). Absolutely gifted them that game.
They can say what they like, they know there is more pressure on them, we can afford to lose and still catch them, they lose and they're looking over their shoulders.
Not worried (rightly or wrongly), they're a danger from set pieces, as were Pompy, so we'll do the same, give them nothing, 2-1 Cov.

Yeah, in my years of following City this performance goes down as the worst collectively and the worst individual performance I have ever seen in Kastaneer. I remember someone praising him because he once dribbled past someone but completely ignoring the fact he spent the entire game running aimlessly out of position and leaving Dabo two on one every time. It was an absolute joke and comes as no surprise that Robins has ditched him ever since.
