Just let Frank do his thing at Coventry.

He's nearly got them promoted to the Premier League after 25 years out of the top flight and I don't want to see a legend beholden to these d**khead owners and SDs we have.

I want to see him in the top flight next season with Coventry City. Bringing a team up will be a big boost to his management career. Our ownership will have to change before Frank ever thinks about coming back.

 
Is anyone following Frank's Coventry?

I have a feeling it's going to be a very close call for the title, but they should definitely go up.

They will have to fall in a hole not to go up. And come straight back down again unless they improve their squad a la Sunderland last summer. They're a good Championship side in a pretty average Championship year (in terms of quality). Their lead in the table flatters them somewhat, their inconsistency a problem Frank is yet to solve. Case in point, they were distinctly average last night -v- a committed Hull.

 
Middlesbrough and Millwall will have to win their last 5 games just to get to 87 points, and both have vastly inferior goal difference so one more win (in their last 5 games) and Coventry will essentially be already up. They'll have to go full Devon Loch to blow automatic promotion from here, and one of those two sides will simultaneously have to win their 5 in a row.

Probably also a dead cert for the title itself. Ipswich have to play 7 games in 20 days, 5 of which are away (current away record won 7 drawn 5 lost 6, 11th best in the Championship) , and have to play several sides that desperately need points themselves, some to go up/make play offs, and some to stay in the division.

Despite Ipswich's workload they have games in hand. Boro are struggling without Hackney pulling the strings. Lots of possession but do nothing with it. Millwall's position flatters them, they're solid at best. I can see Ipswich finishing second even if by default.

Yes I think Ipswich will finish well clear of the other two contenders in 2nd.

Coventry have Sheffield Wednesday at home up next, so that should be three more points for them, and that would be automatic promotion secured (barring mathematical improbabilities on goal difference and the aforementioned run of 5 straight wins from Millwall/Borough, and the Devon Loch implosion LOL)

Assuming Coventry and Ipswich are the top two, who do you fancy to take the third promotion spot via the play-offs ?

I think Boro are best of the rest but they desperately need Hayden Hackney back. He pulls the strings, they're disorganised going forward without him. If Saints can turn up as they did -v- Arsenal, which is an ask, they could be in with a shout.

Saints slaughtered Wrexham last night. Whether they can keep it up is another matter what with the FA Cup match sandwiched in between. Remarkable coaching effort given where they were under Still.

 
Southampton and Ipswich back in the prem again, Ugh. Hopefully can have a sweep of new names, as unlikely as that seems now.

Saints are on an unbelievable run under this unknown coach of theirs (Tonda Eckert). Never heard of the bloke until a couple of weeks ago, but blimey, what a job he is doing. Thrashed Wrexham after recent wins against Coventry, Fulham and Arsenal and now on a 16 game unbeaten run. I'm glad City are playing them in the semi-final and not us!!

They are the team in form going into the play-off's but have they peaked too soon? Might all catch up with them, but rather them back in the PL than Boro or Millwall.

Great reference to that poor horse there mate 👍 😂

 
If I had the money, and I was going bald, you can bet anything I am getting a hair transplant. I wouldn't care what anybody says about it 😆

What about trying a Trump hairstyle?

 
Frank's done a remarkable job seeing as Coventry were down near the bottom when he came in last season. . I've only seen highlights of their games, so not sure how they'll do in the PL ?. Millwall will probably end up in the playoffs with the usual violent nonsense from their fans.

I think Frank has done well too, think the Saints might go up with them, it would be better if WHU or the Spuds are playing Millwall rather than us next season.

Coventry missed out on promotion in a penalty shoot out the season before under Mark Robins. Frank inherited a good squad which has been strengthened. But it remains a Championship squad, there aren't many you'd fancy to lead the way in the PL. Sunderland spent very cleverly over last summer to strengthen themselves, Coventry need to do the same.

If Saints can maintain the form, they deserve to make it. Big ask with an FA cup game squeezed into an already heavy workload. Don't fancy their chances in the PL if they do make it, though. Not without some serious upgrades.

Hope Saints come up,.... living on the south coast these days, it's Always a decent away trip

 
This is a game Coventry should've won based on league standints, expensive points dropped in the title race.
