Coventry's 'home' form is the reason they're still in with a fighting chance of staying up. 31 of their 45 points have come at St Andrew's (well, 32 if you include their away draw to Birmingham). It is almost 98 years since we last won away at Coventry! 98 years!!! This has to be one of, if not the longest a team has gone without winning away against the same team. This season is slightly different, with Coventry playing at St Andrew's, somewhere which is a bit of a happy hunting ground for us recently. We've won 4 of our last 7 visits to Birmingham City, averaging 3 goals in each of those victories. Coventry have lost just 3 of their last 16 games at St Andrew's which is an impressive feat. We are of course amidst our best ever run away from home, so naturally we're facing our biggest away bogey team next. I've a good feeling about this. We've had a week to prepare, compared to Coventry's 2 days rest. We've broken so many hoodoo's during this pandemic already (QPR twice, Bristol City, Wednesday), so what's one more? I'm going for 2-1, with Morris and Woodrow on the scoresheet.
be a close game guessing 0-0 but there is a chance one side may nick it - most likely Coventry around half time
Draw would be okay if Reading lose tonight, Cov winning last night possibly improves our chances as not as much pressure on them.
I think it's better playing a team off the back of a win for them. It means they've less to prove and takes the edge off. I agree the bigger game is tonight. Any negative result for Reading takes the edge off. If Reading lose it doesn't matter if we lose. (God forbid). It just wastes a game which suits us at this stage of the season.
1-3 1-0 to them at HT leading to BBS meltdown and predictions of Armageddon, only for nerves to be settled with a Woodrow pen on 58 mins and Dike and Helik to put it to bed late on. The planets re-align.
Feeling good about this one. Saw nothing last night that suggests they are in a false position near the bottom. 2-0 us.
