The stadium has its own station but trains are only two carriages so useless on match days and the service, as you have spotted, is unreliable to say the least. The ground is a long and miserable walk from Coventry station, and when you get there it’s in the wastelands….nothing except a retail park next door. Get your drinking in early and cab/bus to the ground.

With 4,000 Rs we are going to rock this barn.

This is going to be a very hard game, they are seriously strong at home. Maggot Kane has been playing very well for them, and their front 2 can be lethal. We're gonna have to play very well to come away from there with 3 points !

Unfortunately we need to win every game if we want top 2, Fulham have gone berserk since coming back from their enforced break. A point wouldn't be a bad result for top 6 at a very difficult ground but a win is required to keep pressure on Bournemouth and Blackburn.

The Ruperts are out of reach, but Blackburn and Bournemouth are reachable.
So, second place it is then!

Realistically we're obviously not going to win all our remaining games.
I think Fulham, although not mathematically out of sight will comfortably win the league.
We are outsiders imo for 2nd.
Therefore I reckon a point at Coventry followed by two home wins would be an absolutely brilliant return from the next three games.
Play offs look most likely and very, very doable imo.

Ye of little faith.

But yep, I'd take a point at Cov too. Nice set of returns while AFCON is on and push on further when Chair is back. Worryingly I'm getting to the point when I'm expecting playoffs and hopeful of a push for 2nd.

Can't see Fulham being stopped for 1st too.
