Our squad really doesn't look good enough to beat Coventry. We were even talking about being relegated earlier in the season. Top 8 yes, but top 2, nowhere near good enough.
Anything other than a defeat today would be very much against the odds.
Coventry 4/5
Saints 3/1
Draw 14/5 |

Why doesn't this happen to Coventry? They have 15 of the strongest and best players in the Championship who always seem to be fit. They have better attacking players on their subs bench than we have in our starting lineup. It's almost like they thought about these things when they did their recruitment.
We can only hope that Eckert performs some sort of magic today against what appears to be a much stronger team. [Post edited 14 Mar 11:47]

Having watched the home game against them and seeing the Coventry lineup today, it's probably our hardest league game of the season. They have better players than ours in nearly every position (from our team today, only Harwood-Bellis would be good enough to possibly get in their team) and we only managed to draw against them at St Mary's because they had a player sent off.
With all the goal scorers Coventry have, you'd expect them to score at least 2 goals, so if we manage to avoid defeat today it will be quite an achievement. [Post edited 14 Mar 11:30]

A 10.40pm finish after extra time and penalties would mean most fans would miss their last train home anyway, even if it weren't cancelled. |

Even a defeat would have a silver lining. A win for West Brom tonight would make Pompey's relegation much more likely. In fact, looking at Pompey's current form, I don't think they'd survive. |

It's not going to be their first team. All of their first team players have got 2 international games after the League Cup Final, so they'll be rested for our game, especially if it's on the Saturday.. |

Even 10 months ago, at the end of last season, they were lucky to beat us 2-1 with a last minute goal. We've got a better manager now.. |

We'll have Shea Charles, who is a better player than Downes. I expect Charles will relish the opportunity to show what he can do against Arsenal.
Let's look forward to it with optimism. We've got a great manager who finds ways to win games. [Post edited 9 Mar 19:51]

Our home record against Arsenal in recent years has been very good, including beating them, when they were FA Cup holders, the last time they played here in the FA Cup.
Winning the Premier League is their priority so they will rest players. [Post edited 9 Mar 19:40]

These rules are not hard and fast. If the setup at the stadium doesn't permit it, then the away allocation can be less. Newcastle seem to get away with a lot because of the special circumstances at their stadium.
Big cup games is where the old setup hurt as most, as our 'home end' disappeared. [Post edited 9 Mar 11:11]

He was a regular for England U21s and he was superb on his full England debut at Wembley. He will get more caps and more Wembley appearances! |

We just keep grinding out those wins under Eckert. He squeezes every last ounce out of our squad.
Harwood-Bellis was the best player on the pitch today. He's clearly Premier League class. [Post edited 8 Mar 14:11]

Maybe he is. We've never had a manager who's started this well before, especially with a team that had only won 4 of its previous 50 games. |

If we make the play-offs we're going to meet Millwall, either in the semi-finals or in the final. I don't think that beating them at Wembley would have a less violent outcome than beating them at the New Den. In fact, crowd control would probably be easier with the smaller crowd at their place.
Anyway, the next few games will show us whether we are good enough to beat any of the top Championship teams and make the play-offs. Personally, I think Eckert has made our squad look better than it is. The fact we only won 4 of the 50 games before he took over tells us it's really not that great.

After reading the Fighting Cock forum, it appears that the manager most Spurs' fans want is .......Harry Redknapp.
Harry is 79. [Post edited 6 Mar 9:09]

It sounds like a brand new Crystal Palace stadium tonight and next season it will be a brand new Championship stadium. [Post edited 5 Mar 22:29]
