Perhaps "important" may be a more apt word, but in any case what I was going for here is that it's getting to a point where some teams like Boro are starting to fall away. I think Sheff Wed's loss today and against us will also be a psychological blow for them. By the same token I think beating Preston will give us a massive lift. Winning any which way is what matters now as we approach crunch time. Those last minute wins against QPR and Sheff Wed were big.It is not critical for us to win tomorrow.
Don’t get me wrong, it would be great. But it’s far from critical.
Well, it's not, but let's get the overreacting in early.Tomorrow is absolutely must win for us
Well, it's not, but let's get the overreacting in early.
To stay in the race, you win your games. Basics.
no one is going to win all their remaining games, we can lose tomorrow and still finish top 6 and we can win and finish 9thTo stay in the race, you win your games. Basics.
It's kind of expected, how many did they pick in January to give them a boost, seems to have had the opposite effect.Boro have absolutely collapsed since Xmas
Always thought Carrick leave there on his own accord to a bigger/better job but I can’t see him lasting much longer
His stock has absolutely plummeted in the space of a few months
We have joined the race by winning games. A single defeat won't matter much. All the teams around us have been losing games. That's how we have caught them up/gone past them.To stay in the race, you win your games. Basics.
Well Bristol went ahead of us alreadyWe have joined the race by winning games. A single defeat won't matter much. All the teams around us have been losing games. That's how we have caught them up/gone past them.
A must win game would be last game of the season with a win guaranteeing a place in the playoffs.
Realistically only Watford and Norwich can go above us this weekend. Just a draw will keep us above them. After this weekend we will be between 6th and 10th.
And?Well Bristol went ahead of us already
So the mythical "six-pointer" does exist! Can you show your workings?At least don't lose to the teams around us. It's amazing to think if we'd of lost to Blackburn the other week they'd be 10 points ahead of us instead of the 4 they are now.
‘Deluded’ is a bit strong for expecting a home win against a team below us in the actual and form table. We’re playing Preston not Xavi-era Barcelona.Just thought I'd add a few things for a bit of perspective.
Preston have only lost 1 game since January 1st. That was away to Blackburn 2-1. In the last couple of weeks they have got through to the 5th round of the FA cup, beat Norwich away and drew with Burnley. They don't score many goals but don't let many in either. In their last 10 games since January 1st, including 2 cup games, they have scored 10 goals and had 7 against. In this run they have played Watford, Middlesbrough, Blackburn, Norwich and Burnley. 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat for 10 points.
Anyone expecting a win today is either being unrealistic or are deluded.
You need to pile on and take the 7/2 available on Preston. Coventry’s form for the same period please?Just thought I'd add a few things for a bit of perspective.

Against a side that has only lost 1 in the last 10 whilst only letting in 7 goals?‘Deluded’ is a bit strong for expecting a home win against a team below us in the actual and form table. We’re playing Preston not Xavi-era Barcelona.
Did you miss the bit where I said I think we will win?You need to pile on and take the 7/2 available on Preston. Coventry’s form for the same period please?
I expect you’re wrong with that score prediction too.Did you miss the bit where I said I think we will win?
But 'think' and 'expect' are totally different. My money would go on a draw. 0-0 wouldn't be a surprise.
I expect I am also.I expect you’re wrong with that score prediction too.
CurrentlySo the mythical "six-pointer" does exist! Can you show your workings?
If we don't win today its not going to end our season. Its the middle of February, plenty of points to play for. It is not a must win but would be niceYep. Definitely must win.
Norwich was supposed to have been a 6 pointer.Currently
Blackburn Pl 33, Pts 51.
Coventry Pl 33, Pts 47.
If Blackburn had of won
Blackburn Pl 33, Pts 54
Coventry Pl 33,Pts 44
So yes the 6 pointer does actually exist!
I'll never get the love in for them on here
They always had and always will have the square root of fuck all positive to say about Coventry as a club or as a City in general

3.1 win.I expect I am also.
What's your score prediction? I expect you to be wrong with it also
