Coventry

Well yeah, we signed Gyokeres, Hamer and Sheaf for a total of £2.5m and with add odds made just over £45m so far.

I get what you're saying. It's exactly why Mark Robins was sacked. He had a big budget to replace Gyokeres and Hamer.

It's basically what we did with Clarke and Stewart, except even more profitable. Which is why I think you'll be in a strong position to spend if you go up.
 
Hate everything about them as a club but got to credit Lampard he’s been brilliant there
They’ll win that league at a canter

Still think Southampton or Ipswich will get the second spot

Since they sacked will still off they’ve won every game

Unless the strategy was to get their defender to put mayenda clean through, and to get their keeper to let it an easy shot, then it wasn't a masterclass.

If those two things hadn't happened we would have lost the tie and you'd be blaming RLB.

Show your workings.

You can't just take away our 2 goals and say well we would have lost 1-0, that's not how it works :lol:

This is the team you're claiming deserved to win, aye?

Didn't say they deserved to win.

Yeah most games come down to fine margins and fans react too far one way or another based on the result. If Haji Wright had buried that header right at the end of the 90 like he should have done it would have went from fans saying it was a Le Bris masterclass to an awful strategy in the second leg that cost us the game.

What header? Coventry didn't have any chances according to people on here!

Exactly. And when we go on a bad run this season, people who are arguing cov was a RLB masterclass will be saying how he's lost the dressing room or some nonsense, when it'll just be because we haven't had the rub of the green for a while. People just invent narratives (normally involving managers) to explain the result when really over the course of one match it usually comes down simply to who takes their chances on the day.

Didn't say 1-0, but we would very likely have lost the tie.

Outside of clubs with parachute money, Coventry are the biggest spenders in the Championship over the last few seasons combined.

It always gets overlooked but with the money they have spent, they'd want to be seriously challenging for promotion!

Good point. And so they'd be massively hamstrung in terms of PSR if they go up like Leeds right?

I actually agree with you about narratives and that coaches are often wrongly judged on results alone.

But you are wrong about the Coventry game, we clearly and obviously set up to sit deep and hit them on the break at pace, and it worked perfectly in that first leg. It's why we played a defensive 442 with Isidor AND Mayenda, when else have we seen that? It was a masterclass.

Teams getting 100 points doesn't make it a better quality league. You could equally argue it makes it worse.

I was more meaning the challenge to get promoted.

The level required for top 2 last season was ridiculous

Will be nowhere neat 3 teams on 97+ this time

3 times in the 1st leg we went through 1 on 1 with their keeper, their only real chance was their goal. 2nd leg they absolutely bossed the 2nd half, but it was tight otherwise.

This. It was tight over both legs. The biggest fuck up was their back pass for our winner in the first leg. Losing the first leg at home left them with a mountain to climb.
