    If Bell is fit, we have a chance. I'm hopeful the newbies will bring positive energy to the group but not only have we not strengthened the midfield, we're actually weaker with Knibbs' injury and Docherty apparently our of the picture. My observation is that JRC looks great in open games where he has time on the ball, like Coventry at home, not so good in games with higher intensity. Going for an optimistic 1-1. Leaburn to start please.

    Bell posting on Instagram reads as a positive he’ll be playing a part

    Wasn’t everyone saying how doc was no where near champ quality recently? Doesn’t that mean him not being about isn’t going to make much difference?

    Not a chance…
  • Fck me, the 9.32 is noisy. As the saying goes, don’t let the football spoil a good day out

    I don’t think Jones will be sacked even if we go down.

    I'm one of the those that's not a fan tbh, but if Coventry is injured / tired / out of form, I think he's the best cover we have.

    I hope not. That would be shambolic after allowing him to bring in a load more of "his" players. Think we need to back him and the team, there's still a lot of games left and every opportunity to get some form back.

    Is this on sky sports +? The club comms seem to think it’s not.

  • Lloyd as things stand is to give it a go again after a week of treatment on his ankle.  

    Seen someone post on here he's been playing with a stress fracture on his foot. This is not the case, just an ankle injury

    Playing with an ankle injury doesn’t sound good but I suppose we don’t have much choice. Hope that us having him play through it doesn’t lead to the injury deteriorating.

    Opta think this'll be the final table. I'll take it. That's all.


    Not sure why they're unsure on so many teams.

    I put a tenner on a Charlton win (1-2) last week.  Thirty years since we last beat them - Lets break the spell.  Not only was it a bad result, my dry January went out the window.
    Don't know how it will pan out today, just hope at the least we don't lose.  COYA!

    Any new on Leicesters anticipated points deduction? 
  • What is the point of the 12:30 kick off? Why are they inconveniencing fans if it’s not even on Sky? Surely if the games not being broadcast domestically just have it a 3

    Things are looking bleak but a week is a long time in football and a couple of results can change everything - can't see it but hoping to be surprised. COYR!!!!!!!!

  • What a result to have Bell back. But why on earth are we doing two big up top again, looked awful and also means no fresh legs if we need size up front later in the game. 

    Otherwise don't mind it at all. 

    Should get a good look at whether Coady still has his legs or not if he's in at DM

    Two up front isn’t the problem. It’s which two.
