PREDICTION FOR SAT!!

[zemas tendon 0]

I Reckon 2-0 to Sky Blues!! Bell to get a amazing response from the Carra Road faithful, then sticks a low shot in the bottom corner, runs over to the away fans swinging his shirt in the air, with print on his shirt saying "Needed to be closer to Midlands"! then we all go home moaning!! Morrison to score the first!

Did City NOT stipulate that Bell can''t play against us so soon after his transfer to them, and if not, why not?

Those sort of gentlemen''s agrements aren''t allowed any more

because Coventry paid Cash for him Wiz.. it only applies to a loan... once they have paid for him he''s there player and they can do what they like... we had no say.

[/quote]I thought this happend with Mckenzie, and it has happend with other players, it is a term of the sale, i guess. but someone in the thread said this cant happen any more :(

[Chunky Norwich 0]

Yeah it did happen with McKenzie which was almost like a Monopoly rule. Maybe we gave them Bell in exchange for a Get Out Of Relegation Free card?

Heavy loss

I actually think a narrow win which will prolong this agony.

4-0 to Norwich.

Agree, I''ll go for 2-0 Norwich, just like last season. Cort to score twice.

0-0 Bore draw

[Budapest Canary 154]

2-1 for City.  Marshall make one of his schoolboy errors, but will redeem himself with a couple of decent saves and we''ll manage to turn the game around. 

[Beauseant 0]

Draw at best, followed on Monday by player interviews talking about how we need to put a run of results together, but that morale is high in the dressing room, and everyone is confident that we''ll stay up.

As I hate Covenrty with a passion (lived there for 4 years, it''s a dump), I want a Norwich win more than usual PLUS who can ever forget the season during the 80s when we were all but safe in the top division and Cov had to win their last 3 games to stay up... and they did because their opponents were already in holiday mode.

[blahblahblah 2]

I''m oddly confident about us getting at least a point from this one.  Coventry are not good at getting wins on the road.  4 wins, 6 draws, 6 defeats.  They have a pretty tight defence though, where we have scored 29 times and conceded 23 times in 16 home games, Cov have conceded 19 times in 16 away games.  16 goals scored on their travels suggests a tight game, a mistake on either side, or on the part of the ref, will probably win the game.I think it''ll be either a 1-1 draw or 2-1 to us.  Go on then, 2-1 to us.

[Syteanric 1]

1-0 Coventry, from bad to worse for us.

jas :)

[ricardo 8,034]

We usually beat them at home and lose away.

Also they had a big game midweek so I confidently predict a 2-1 victory.

[WeAreYellows49 0]

We will lose by two.

[Sheffield uni Canary 0]

going to be confident and say 2-1 Norwich.

Are coventry fans the ones who sing that really annoying ''we''re all in this together'' song?

[Salopian 1]

On the basis that we can''t keep clean sheets, I''ll go for 1-1 or 2-1 to Coventry

Before a couple of teams had used up their games in had, I''d have agreed with you, but now they have, I''ll disagree.  But only because I''ve had a look at the current form table, adapted from here :

Plymouth 0 2 4 = 2
Barnsley 1 1 4 = 4
Watford  1 1 4 = 4
Palace   1 1 4 = 4
Soton    1 2 3 = 5
Wolves   1 2 3 = 5
Charlton 2 0 4 = 6
Derby    2 0 4 = 6
Norwich  1 3 2 = 6

The teams in bold are our fellow strugglers.  Even forest, who have 10 points from the last 6, have really struggled in the last 3 games with 1 point I think, and are back in the mire with us.

In a long, slow, painful mud-wrestling competition like this, picking up regular points will be the difference between staying up and going down.

Because I have time on my hands, I''ve taken the current form points for the last 6 matches for the bottom 7 teams and applied it (roughly) to the remaining games.

Forest have 12 games left.  10 points from the last 6 games * 2 = 20 points.  Add that to their current total and you get 54 points.

Plymouth have 12 games left.  2 points from the last 6 games * 2 = 4.  4 + 36 (current points) = 40.

Barnsley have 14 games left.  2 * 4 = 8, add on a couple more for the other 2 games, say 10 points for the rest of the season. 10 + 36 = 46.

Watford have 14 games left.  Current form should give them about 10 points, the same as Barnsley.  10 + 36 = 46

Southampton have 13 games left.  5 * 2 = 10, add 1 for good measure, which gives them 11 points.  11 + 31 = 42

Charlton have 13 games left.  A point per game on current form would give them 13 points fro mthe remaining games.  13 + 26 = 39.

Norwich have 12 games left.  A point per game = 12 points from the remaining games. 12 + 33 = 45 points.

So if the remaining games went according to current form, the bottom of the table would look like this :

Forest 54 (somewhere in mid-table)
Barnsley 46
Watford 46
Norwich 45
Southampton 42
Plymouth 40
Charlton 39

If other teams continue their current form, a point per game might just be enough.

Interesting work Blah. I think you''re definitely correct when you say that a steady accrual of points could be enough, and this is a better comparison model than guessing how many points we''ll need based on previous seasons.

I think we''ll win on Saturday, and I don''t know why, but I feel it will be comfortable for a change. No theory, just gut reaction![+o(]

2-0 to city, a rare clean sheet
