While I am inclined to agree with Spanish and it could well be a right old drubbing, I am going for a hardearned draw. Someone, anyone finds their shooting boots.
2-2 and we stay 3rd.

This will be Coventry s 6th game this month ( our 7th)
2 wins 2 draws and 1 defeat (us)
For a team that seemed to be scoring for fun, they have only got 4 so far this month whilst conceding 5.
2-1 to us.

McKennas recent record over Lampard and Coventry's tendancy to be more open fuels my optimism.
On the other hand our recent festive record and our apparent inability to string a really good run together keeps me pessimistic.
3-3 draw.

I can’t see us beating them at home, considering their recent form, home record, and extra fuel for them to put the away defeat behind them. Our lack of incisiveness and putting away chances will cost us.
3-2 Coventry win.
I’m not sure if it’s silly season rumours, but are we really in a position both financially and competitively to lure Brennan Johnson from Spurs? I know we’ve got links with his old man David, and McKenna taught him at the Spurs academy - but that’s surely a signing beyond us? Would be a great statement signing and someone with more than enough talent to break down stubborn Championship defences. But file that one under improbable and expect a move to Palace or a lower mid-table Premier League side.

You never know do you, football is a funny old game! Any scouts, agents who watch our highlights would see the strong potential of our team if someone could actually put away the chances we do get.
As ever the optimist, I too get a bit impatient with the team building this season, tho allowing for the late arrivals and disrupted pre season. And there are a few bedwetters chipping away! But the stats tell a different story which wasn't reflected in our dominant, controlled game at the Den. We're a very solid team at the back and through the middle, but have yet to get on a roll with dominating performances by our forward line (even if we are third highest scorers.)
Yes, there is the added pressure of expectation, all that money has weighed heavily, but look where we are - poised for a crack at second and possibly top with a whole half season to go.
Just one Moore or Delap type( without the dramatic yellows) and our team will again flower by the warm Spring in Suffolk and hopefully will gain in confidence, composure and free flowing movement.
A draw at Coventry would be admirable.

Think this could be a backs-to-the-wall defensive job, and another 0-0.
We have a good record against Coventry, therefore hoping that continues, but we'll struggle to make any limited chances count, which will reinforce that we need a decent #9 this transfer window if we want top two
