not the best goal to blow up any hopes of the play offs

You can say what you want about Cov, but you never doubt their amazing fans.

Wonder how many of the Cov glory hunters that went Sunday won't bother today.

25,035. That must include a sizeable portion of Hull fans. Dont know how many were at Wembley.

Shame Norwich play before Hull. 

 

If Norwich beat Swansea, Hull getting 6th becomes quite unlikely considering they'd also need a swing of about 8 goals. Stranger things have happened of course, but ideally want Norwich dropping points so Hull have more to play for vs Ipswich.

West Brom are level with Norwich so they are involved.

If that's the goal that ends Cov's season, this has been the best week ever

[An Away Move]

Going out against Chelsea in the FA Cup QF was definitely a blessing. Look what it's taken out of Coventry's tank.

yeah it was 

they can turn up against Ipswich tho

[Nolucklcfc]

Tell you what if Norwich fail to beat Swansea, hull will be right up for that Ipswich game. Tough game for Ipswich now that

Yep, didn't realise they'd been pulled right back into it too! Can see Wednesday beating them on Saturday.

Think Hull will get something regardless.

There's still work to do to secure firstly promotion but then the title. Mondays game is huge because if we fail to win there's a real possibility Blackburn need a result last game of the season.

True. Hopefully they beat a fatigued Coventry at the weekend to secure their survival. 

[HybridFox]

Out the cup and bottled the play offs 

 

Now only the small matter of pushing the title towards your rivals

And then robins will challenge his players to put on a performance against Ipswich for their fans

All 20k of them that bother to turn up

[FrankieADZ]

well wonder what the odds are of Hull and Cov beating Ipswich are....

[demon_dog]

Assuming we gained promotion who would you prefer to see get promoted with us?

Also who do you think would win the play offs .

Personally I'd like to see Ipswich join us and think West Brom could win the play offs.

Norwich for sure, then only 2 relegation spots.

If we need a result in that match I think we want them needing one too, then they’ll have to have a go.  We’ve done better recently against teams that have tried to win.

Most managers in that position, even needed 3 points, take the approach of parking the bus for 75 minutes to keep it scoreless and then trying to sneak a goal in at the end.

Not denying that the demolition

of Saints helped but I am still nervous and won’t relax until we’re mathematically up

They’ve got Cov on Saturday so hopefully they’ll get the win and have safety sewn up.

Sheaf offers good protection, in a leaky defence,  when teams are trying to penetrate

Asso, if we were to sign Smallbone, Sheaf would offer cover if the other limped off at any time.
