We are capable of winning every game and there’s one thing for certain none will relish playing us over two legs.

Yes, it's strange. West Brom and Watford are 5 points off 6th, both with a worse goal difference than us, but somehow they both have a better chance than us, according to some. West Brom do have a game in hand but they play 8 times in 29 days in AprilIt's still up for grabs imo, every chance Blackburn and Millwall will both drop out, Blackburn have a difficult run in. It's not like everyone has a run against the relegation fodder either, everyone is playing each other, plenty of points will be dropped between now and the end of the season.
West Brom also carry a weight around their neck of knowing they are fucked if they don't go back up this season.Yes, it's strange.

Yeah. I just think they have better squads and better players overall. That doesn't mean we don't have any better players than them, we almost certainly do. I mean across the first team 11's and squads.Yes, it's strange.

Secured promotion it'll be a party atmosphere and players playing with freedom, I think we lose. Secured 3rd and they won't risk injury or suspension ahead of the play offs and likely rest their key performers, so this is best chance for us imo.The only game that I'm not confident of getting some kind of result is the last game of the season against Middlesbrough. But they could also have secured promotion by then. And we might have secured a playoff place by then.
I think they will fail to reach the playoffs. Recently they have lost games they would have been expected to win. WBA v Watford on Saturday. Loser will be out of contention. A draw will be bad for both.Yeah. I just think they have better squads and better players overall. That doesn't mean we don't have any better players than them, we almost certainly do.

Or job done and already looking forward to playing in the Prem. Would they put as much effort in as a club that needs a result?Secured promotion it'll be a party atmosphere and players playing with freedom, I think we lose.

We're on a 9 game unbeaten run. Only 8 games to go. How many would fancy their chances against us?While I think we certainly could creep into the play-offs I wouldn't fancy our chances over two legs against Norwich, Sheff Utd, Middlesborough or even Luton.

I agree mostly with this, its very hard to keep winning and we would have to win 5 out of 8 and draw 1 or 2 games. As soon as we lose it will be very hard, Swansea is never easy for Coventry City and that could be one of them.My opinion as a realist is we won’t be close to the playoffs really. We are 9 unbeaten and still 3 points away. We won’t keep winning and staying unbeaten where as most of the other teams will keep winning due to being a better team and or better squads. We have to win 5 out the last 8 and maybe a draw or two also. Sorry for me it’s no chance. We have been punching above our weight and playing teams all in the bottom 3. Not all but we have played the bottom 3 now.
in no way am I having a go or defeatist it’s just the reality of the situation… with 9 unbeaten and 8 games left we literally need to lose 2 games in 17. The fact we are even in this conversation is a miracle to the team and mark robins but it’s a step too far. More than likely to finish around 12th again and anything top half is a miracle and I’m very proud of them.

We've won the playoffs every time we have reached themQuite frankly in the playoffs anything can happen.

I remember the loss very well. But remember the wins even more.You'll be telling us next we've never lost at Wembley,
of the 8 teams most likely to end up in playoffs (excluding ourselves), we've beat 6 of them this season, Luton was 2 draws, meaning its only Norwich we've not beaten!
If we get to the playoffs it is more than possible!
I’m sure the teams who end up 6th often have the better chance of winning it due to momentum - there must be stats for it somewhere.Quite frankly in the playoffs anything can happen. If we got that far the dynamics of games change. It'll be a set of knock out football. Every year you see supposedly top teams bottling it.
Getting that far is another matter though. It's so tight. Think there's too much competition at this point. Although given many of them are playing each other, if we do our bit we will jump into a spot on an easier trajectory than our recent strong run of form.
Not getting carried away yet, but I will start pissing my pants in a few weeks if we dispose of Stoke and Swansea.

I like you on here just for the comedy valueDon’t understand why we’re even in the discussion, we will fall at least 6 points short
Ah I meant those who enter the top 6 late on or on the final day.A team sometimes finishes 6th by just holding on
and Vik continued scoring during the break, so he's not gone coldBut we've missed one Saturday game, it's hardly like the World cup break
only the Charity Shield v Everton, which didn't really count, did it?You'll be telling us next we've never lost at Wembley,
Yes, one injury to a key player could spell the end of our season. But I think if we have 12 or 13 fit players good enough, over a season that could never work, but over 8 games with a bit of luck? And we don't need to win all of them.Yeah. I just think they have better squads and better players overall. That doesn't mean we don't have any better players than them, we almost certainly do.
