Coventry away will be the toughest of the 3 .
On form how we were prior to the Internationals 9 points from 3 is very doable.

Really tough game is Coventry. They lost at weekend but won 4 on row before that. If Gruev is back we should be ok. Joseph needs to play more minutes imo he’s in good form.

depends how much there minds are on the semi final

Fingers crossed Ipswich slip up in next two games, they have Norwich away on Saturday (obviously their big local derby) and then a rejuvenated Watford... i'd be surprised if Leicester lose any of next 3 but they do have Milwall away next week. their tough run comes at the end of April with West Brom h, Southampton h, Preston a... if we can get a win on Saturday that sets us up beautifully imo.. can't see Leicester losing at home to Birmingham

I do think we need to consider the number of minutes some of our players have had to play recently and when you take into account Kamara wasn`t well it is a miracle we have 4 points from 2 games.
Bamford has been off it for a few games now and even his hold up play has gone.
Piroe or Joseph should play on Saturday imo but I think Farke will stick with Bamford.
Gray to RB and Gruev back to midfield hopefully.

Bamford just looked Ill, hopefully not a bug sweeping through us at this pivotal time.
Was rough week for the Welsh lads with all that effort for naught but great to see James snag that chance.
Joseph was chomping at the bit and looked a real nuisance in his cameo.

Agree with most of your posting, unfortunately Ipswich seem to have cornered the market in football luck. Personally I think the Coventry game is the hardest game left. Get a win at Coventry and we are in touching distance of going up. However since Christmas I have had this sneaking suspicion that it will go down to the wire. A nail biter at home last game of the season. Would hate us to go to the playoffs, never the less I am confident we can win that. . Especially as we should have a full squad available, this international break has really affected our rhythm. Not to mention injuries, absolutely infuriating.

I was confident we would be clear with a couple of games to go but i also think it will go to the last game

all teams will drop points. still fancy us and leicester.

If there's any justice it will be us and Ipswich. Leicester have just posted their accounts for this last year, another big loss of £82m. They;ve lost £215m over last 3 years... well over the max allowed which is around £112m.. if they go up they will start on -10 points I reckon and will be certain relegation candidates again.. as they won't be able to buy anyone.
