As it stands Preston are a point ahead of Cov with a -8 goal difference whilst Cov have a +12 difference. Strange league

Ipswich 3-0 up at half time with only two shots on target.  Impressive!

I reckon he will start with daka to be honest seems to be the main guy at the minute and seeing him chase back against Watford I imagine will need a fair bit of that against Leeds as well. Vardy can always come off the bench to score a hat trick when we are already 3-0 up 😂

agree reckon it will be daka to start

The Brendan Rodgers tribute act warming up for his last act of the season, the complete and utter drop off of form and bottling.

6 goals conceded in 2 games to bottom half sides. I've seen this script before.

[Sunbury Fox]

Good news that Cov are losing. Was worried that they had cut our lead over them to only 28 points. 

[OntarioFox]

Just realised that Ipswich's upcoming run is very kind to them. Want them back in second, rather them than Leeds or Southampton.

Bali Mumba having a decent game, lots of energy from RB. Tiny tinge of Kante about him.

He looked great when I watched a bit of Plymouth back at the start of the season, he's been kind of off the radar since though.

Pleased that there are in the race for second. Just keeps their concentration offa us and the pressure heaped on each other. 

 

Potentially third (even fourth!) place could get around 99-101 points.What a sickener that'd be!

Yes, it's way more logical to prefer Ipswich in PL with us. It's going to be a difficult first season back in PL. Having there teams like Luton and Ipswich makes things easier for us on paper. If we combine the above with potential points deductions for certain teams we can be more optimistic for next season back in the top flight.

Incredibly jammy equaliser for Cov, triple deflection. Typically after bigging Mumba up a few minutes ago, he gave away a silly free kick the goal came from.

[OntarioFox]

Massive congratulations to Coventry for getting a point away at Plymouth. Huge statement result.

[oxtonfox]

Fair play Cov, they kept going.

I want Coventry, West Brom, Leeds and Southampton in playoffs. It will be fun. 

[Jack1993]

Can see West Brom finishing 3rd, I think they’ll have a strong finish and a real good chance in the play offs. I know they’ve not always been necessarily well run off the pitch but they always seem to have a solid, professional, decent team capable of beating anyone in the league on their day. Thankfully we do actually beat them a hell of a lot!

[goody2028]

Christ that’s a huge win for Stoke.

Not a chance they finish 3rd. They're nailed on for 5th

 

Also, anyone who doesn't want Ipswich to come up 2nd to us 'needs to give their head a wobble' as they say.

I really, really want them to haul Southampton and Leeds back in and pip them to second. I think they'd be a great addition to the Prem and it would be a real sickened for the fans of those other two clubs.

4 good teams and only 2 automatic and 1 playoff place......got to feel for the one that misses out.....but I want the saints to miss out!
