Definitely

Really nervous about this game. I just don't see how we will score a goal. Would be over the moon with a point, 3 would be dreamland.

I'm going for a scrappy 1-0 win to us. Ron from a corner.

Must be due some sort of return from our 'strikers'. Going to WHL and man city needing points doesnt bear thinking about.

Hoping and praying for a decent result, we may pinch a point by parking the bus so 0-0 , wont know score till after the game as I am out this afternoon with my dear old Mom (Gladys) who is 80 today

I'm just reminding myself that last January, when we were an absolute disaster of a team on the back of some comedy results we weathered a storm from Swansea, I think they hit the post a few times and we SHOULD have beaten them, if not for another last minute fuck up. We seem to do OK against these, no matter how poor we've played running up to them.

On that note, i'm going 1-1. Villa to take the lead against the run of play and Bony to equalise in the 74th minute, but we hold on.

That could be our new motto.

Is what Hill did any different to us flashing up goals as they happen on the screens? I know it was over a tannoy back then but surely the principal is similar? I even remember the old electronic scoreboard flashing up Ipswich latest scores when they weren't winning a few times.

He also manufactured some crowd congestion nonsense excuse to start Cov's game 15 minutes late. That's the biggest thing.

Ah, that is different. Although it's Coventry, how could anyone believe there was crowd congestion?

The first twenty minutes of that game last season was one of the most shambolic spells of the season, and that's saying something. We could genuinely have been 5-0 down in 25 minutes. There was one point when all three of our centre halves were standing in a vertical line about 15 yards from the touchline.

Benteke and Weimann got us out of a hole that day and we could have won it. We really need Weimann or Gabby or Delph to step up today.
