@Kashcov1_ Obviously can’t know for sure, but you may be fine. Unless PL insist on giving the whole of block 10 to away fans, club might get away with giving opposition 2,800 to away fans. That’s the amount Boro got last game for e.g.

@CCFCJOSH05 @RobPUSB You repeatedly used xG table — saying it’s all Mark could control as head coach — to justify your opinion Doug was wrong to let him go. You haven’t mentioned it once this season, despite it speaking favourably for Frank. To say you have the same standards is laughable.
English
Genuine question for my #pusb ‘ers,
Do we all think Rushworth is our best player? If you had to nominate one Cov player for this award, would it have been him or someone else?

Double nomination at the EFL Awards. 🏆 Head Coach Frank Lampard and Carl Rushworth have been shortlisted to win EFL Championship Manager of the Season and EFL Championship Player of the Season.

What a show this used to be

This would complete the La Liga Retro Weekend for us.

@CCFCJOSH05 @RobPUSB I was just using your own rationale btw. Even if you want to use post-shot xG to highlight his importance, the expected GD would still be +27, rather than +31. This exact same season happens with Mark and we both know you wouldn’t say mid-table finish without Rushworth.
English
@CCFCJOSH05 @RobPUSB Interesting, for the best part of a year you repeatedly said the only thing a manager can control is the xG table, constantly highlighting it to say Doug was wrong to sack Mark, even insulting him by calling him a mong.
Very, very convenient you no longer see the virtues of it.
English
@CCFCJOSH05 @RobPUSB Can you explain how we’re top of the expected points table please, with the highest XGD too?
English
@skybluesblog @My_SkyBlues True. Previous reputation influences current perception unfortunately. JDS and Targett have been the two standouts this season IMO.
English
@samtt097 @My_SkyBlues Yeah and I only say dark horse in the grand scheme of the league LBs rather than internally at Cov. He's the sort of player that goes under the radar at league level while people froth over names like Manning (and Davis, still) more regularly.
English
You'd like to think that as the most potent attacking force in the entire country (by a clear margin), with hefty contributions throughout the team and no reliance on a single player, that some of our outfield players will still be recognised in the team of the season.

Controversial to most I guess, but if we’re only going to have one nominated, it should be Grimes over Rushworth for me

@skybluesblog @My_SkyBlues Absolutely, although it shouldn’t even be a dark horse type suggestion. Genuinely staggering some of our fans still don’t understand — or at least wilfully ignore — his importance to our team this season.
English
@Llewcalon @CCFCSBA_ @MarkHarridge @alfiecov @GiveMeSport @SamC_reports I doubt a European Club will come for him. We’ll still need a lot to go for us to have a shot at getting him next season though. Brighton no.1 to stay (lots of interest from the likes of Bayern) and Newcastle to go for Trafford instead
English
@CCFCSBA_ @MarkHarridge @alfiecov @GiveMeSport @SamC_reports I think they'll sell him to a European team or one of the top 10 Prem Teams. They're gonna squeeze that goose for all it's worth. Watch them overinflate his worth to put us off buying him. #PUSB

NEW🚨: Newcastle United are stepping up their preparations for the summer transfer window, with a club scout in attendance for Coventry City’s clash against Derby County to monitor two standout performers, Carl Rushworth and Jack Rudoni.

@skybluesblog Exactly, especially with a relatively big sample size of games giving chasing pack more opportunities to rack-up big wins. It’s clearly a far safer assumption now. Not for the title though, even though some will still assert GD will be enough if Ipswich somehow get to 93 points
English
@samtt097 Haha yeah GD always fascinates me. Just because for it to even be relevant in these scenarios it usually requires one team to falter hugely, and one to go on a winning streak. Logically that introduces a guaranteed but unknown swing, so you can't assume the advantage will remain.
English
🚨 Updated Can't Catch Cov standings!
The picture is now very clear. Just 4pts needed to confirm promotion. Incredible.
But we'll need results to go our way in order for that to happen this Saturday.
FYI - this tool helps understand those scenarios:

@skybluesblog Was amusing watching you (rightly) explain that GD was far from certain to favour us when the autos line was still at 93 and 91 — even though those scenarios were always unlikely.
English
Shame Bobby is having reoccurring injury problems atm. I would have changed both CB’s with that in mind though. Lats is so key as LCB for me — not just defensively, but also because the trio of Grimes, Jay and him help us build attacks better than other 3 in the first phase

@_JackFerreira99 @louorns Every chance Hellberg might get poached if you don’t go up this season. Fulham and Brighton both potential vacancies and with the football you play under him, must be every chance he’ll be on the shortlist for both clubs
English
@louorns Good job we strengthened the squad properly in January and we can rely on the bench to change the game…
