What about the current top two in the league, Peterborough and Shrewsbury?

They'll both fall away as the season progresses; top half for Peterborough, maybe sneaking into the playoffs and mid table mediocrity for Shrewsbury.

As a Coventry fan you should know more than anyone that you don't win the league in September...

We are pulling you all into a false sense of security

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Just popped in to see what all the fuss is about! Nowt doing I'm back off to the other one now, cheers!!

 

[Marked Ox]

This is already decided isn't it? We were told Rotherham have all the best players.

 

[RobboPOSH]

Matter of time before we're found out...

 

[Shrew_fan]

We won't be threatening promotion when it gets to the business end of the season but for once I'm slightly optimistic that we might not be in a relegation battle. It's about time...

 

[CT70]

Seem to remember most championship Fans saying the same about Huddersfields good early form last season.
You just never know.

Not with your 2 goalkeepers you wont

Well when an international keeper is an eternal benchwarmer for us I think we're doing ok in that department. We have a youth keeper more than capable of stepping up.

A small minority of our fans don't rate Leutwiler for some reason. Granted he's not the best at dealing with crosses, but he's a very good shot stopper.

As for us, I doubt we'll be part of this thread for long but I'm going to enjoy it for now. You never know though, miracles do happen in football (Leicester, Huddersfield, Burton).

 

[Strawberry_Jam]

Eric Sabin, I saw your comment. Games last 90 mins yeah?... Still. I hope to join this thread by christmas.

 

[SkyBluesRose]

At this rate Blackburn are going to be nowhere near the automatics.

Lol Charlton will be mid table at best.

 

[NorthernSoul]

Blackburn sacking Gary Bowyer and eventually replacing him with Tony Mowbray is up there with the stupidest football decisions you'll see. No surprise to see Blackpool doing so well, wouldn't be too surprised if they finish above Blackburn.

What comment

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Hopefully we'll be able to set up residence in this thread, September looks our hardest month on paper 10 points from 12 is a great start.

Oh I don't know..... see no reason why we shouldn't be around the top 6 all season having been around in the 70's and 80's it's been a long wait

 

[Jockney]

Is this the year of the let-downs? Only Wigan and Bradford showing the sort of form I'd expect. Rotherham will make gains over the long-term. Scunthorpe steady but hamstrung by Alexander? Fuck knows what's happening at Southend.

 

[CT70]

We (Blackburn) could or with the players we have should be around the top 6 this season, but we need to learn how to play against teams who close us down and give us no time on the ball. Or we ain't gonna trouble the top 10 this season.
Quite impressed with the job Wimbledon did on us. Neil Ardley and his team had done their homework.

Blackpool's evil owners still killing the club I see.

Matter of time before we're found out...

What are you talking about? Do you even go to matches?

I dont post much anymore but I'm bored of coming on here and seeing you talking shite. It is pretty clear that we have a talented young team this year and although it is possible we could fall away, this is the best squad we have had since we were relegated 5 years ago.

So please stop all your pessimistic crap.

Noones forcing you to read my opinion.

I go to every Saturday game but can't make Tuesday nights due to work commitments. How many do you get to from Dubai?

If McCann changes to playing with Shepherd instead of Lopes I might be a bit more optimistic but whilst he insists on playing attacking midfielders as wing backs we will be found out and the better teams will hammer us as Bradford did.

Turns out they have Pele up front and his name is Kyle fucking Vassell. Unbelievable.

I left Dubai 6 months ago smart arse, so have been to every game, home and away this season.

You think the reason we lost to Bradford is because Shepherd is playing? Nonsense. They were more physical than us and 2 of their 3 goals came from the other side of the pitch! You've said you only go to Saturday games. Shepherd has played a total of 45 minutes in Saturday games. So you've seen the guy play for a maximum of 45 minutes and now you will only feel optimistic if he plays?!

Honestly, you're talking crap. You've been talking the same crap since the start of the season.
