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.

We're not as good without him. I'd say your discription above relates to De Ridder more than Chaplow.

 

Tbf it applies to both! Chaplow had a cracking start to the season but hasn't been the same since his injury.

 

We need a proper RM next season, whichever division we're in.

I make no apology for reposting this from the main buildup thread.

 

After a day of calming down on the golf course and escaping from this forum, where some of the posts seem to be getting quite hysterical in their panic over what may or may not happen on Saturday, I’ve reflected on the task and:

We have the team to get the job finished with a win. They have the individual and collective skills to beat a Coventry team who’ve lost to us twice this season already

We have the best manager in the Championship to prepare the team psychologically for the game. He will not allow over-confidence nor negativity.

We must have (and will have) a fantastic atmosphere in SMS helping them over the line. That support must stay positive even if things don’t go right from the start and patience is needed.

To those who are getting tense and scared, that’s natural given the prize at stake, but the last thing needed is any collective anxiety being transmitted to the team, and I would be surprised if there aren’t quite a few who look on here, so let’s keep reminding them of our confidence in them.

It’s been an amazing season, and I am confident that with the team, fans and manager working together on Saturday, it will have a happy ending.

I remember that, their CB barrett I think with a volley?

 

That woke us up to be fair and we tore them a new one in the 2nd half.

 

I remember their (Sarfind) fans singing 'That's why we're going down' shortly after we'd taken the p*ss with the same song a minute or two earlier when they'd shot high and wide...I'd settle for that score and atmosphere!

 

I hope Coventry get sorted - they need to get lucky with an owner like we did and start their climb back up. They've never bothered me as a club...reasonably friendly and punching above their weight in a similar way to us in the early days of the PL and before.

Positive points: Why Southampton will be in the Premier League next season.

I remember reading this in February and I think someone commented that the author is a Saints fan, but nevertheless it's comforting reading before Saturday's game.

If we'd had Tad available it would have been all over 3 or 4 matches ago.

Any other opposition might think that WHU being promoted removes more dangerous opposition for next season but Coventry are down and don't need to worry about that. And they didn't like Hammers not beating BC.

 

I wonder how they feel about us losing to BC twice? :smug:
