Think MVEs head was turned in the summer with the rumours of Dutch club interested in signing him, he hasn't been the same also doesn't seem as bubbly as he was last season, he was always clowning around with ohare

 

[Marty]

Wouldn't be surprised if we won all 5. Only really WBA who are at our level from that list. Got to be looking at 10 as the bare minimum.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Would love to get new manager bounce but these same players have given so many unforced goals away! Unless the new coaches can get into the defenders heads and change them we will still struggle for consistency. I would be happy with 7 point or greater.

Yeah, just about where I am too.

It's worrying how sloppy we are in defence. So many errors and switching off at key moments.

 

[quinn1971]

The swing in opinion is incredible. The 'failed Derby manager' seems to have transformed to 'the messiah' after a couple of good YouTube interviews.

We'll be lucky to win 2 of these 5, our defenders and simply not good enough.

It’s not just the defenders, you defend as a unit, we sit 3rd row in, there’s not much communication from the players, nobody on the pitch organises anything, Collins is very quiet

just Think it’s too many changes, different systems, we looked ok last season as a back four, pretty sure we’ll go back to that tomorrow, you switch to a back 5 to tighten things up, we’ve done the opposite, back 4 everyone knows their roll, back 5 we seem to just think somebody else will do it,

 

[The watchmaker]

Feel like I am setting him for a fall here but a good performance against Cardiff (which on paper is home win) and there is easily 11 points there.

 

[Garlana86]

Please can we beat wba for once, it's tiring. I'm hoping that the one positive with the change of manager will be that some of the old bogey teams will be beat.

 

[Otis]

I love this place.

Summing up, it seems our team is shit, but could win the next 5 games.

 

[covcity4life]

Yup lots of them

Lamaprd is shit but we can go on a run now

Robins was perfect but we expect to see an improvement in form or king is an idiot

Etc

It’s all the optipessimists on here

 

[peteCCFC]

What about the next block of 5? Haha. We're dire.

 

[Evo1883]

Still think 7 points , ask me after millwall

 

[Captain Dart]

Well that didn't go exactly to plan.

 

[shmmeee]

OK. Let’s say five points.

 

[chiefdave]

9 minimum with Cardiff, Hull and Portsmouth to play. If we can't manage that against 3 of the bottom 4 we've got problems.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Draws with Cardiff and Hull , beat Portsmouth , lose the other two

Dont take any pleasure from this and I'm as fucked off as the rest of us but we still aren't very good

 

[The watchmaker]

Well that didn't go exactly to plan.

Yeah, I am already bust. Can't possibly get 11 but rather than 'Shmmeee it' I'm going to double down. Had Millwall as a draw - now, shock win!

 

[shmmeee]

Changed my mind again. Ten points.

 

[Captain Dart]

Back on schedule.

 

[ccfcno9]

Anyone with change of mind on WBA result ? The fight shown today in 2nd half should give us a bit of optimism.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Can’t see West Brom being anywhere near as poor as Millwall were today. Also one of those grounds where CCFC wins are as rare as ESB praising Sheaf

Looking forward to going on Wednesday. Reckon we could...avoid defeat, which would be great.

I've just realised I was talking rubbish about 11 no longer being possible - it felt like a loss! Still on!

 

[Covkid1968#]

Win the next game (huge ask) but that’s average of 1.6 a game over 10 games. That’s play off form isn’t it?

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Pretty sure it was Aidy Boothroyd who said 1.6 gets you play-offs, 2 gets you automatics. It's a good rule of thumb.

 

[blunted]

We are Coventry City. Lose when you expect a win and win when you expect to lose.

Should be remembered that we should be slowly getting better game by game under lampard for a good month or two yet I would imagine

I’m onboard with what he’s trying to get us to do and was encouraged that he got the message across about needing to play at a higher tempo.

Millwall were very poor and missing loads of players is the caveat, but you beat what’s in front of you.

 

[Evo1883]

10 points

 

[Warwickhunt]

I would be happy with 8

 

[Ricketts]

15 points. (I reserve the right to change my mind after the Cardiff match.)

I am still sticking in 13 points I originally predicted
