League One Coventry v Sunderland

[Followtheox1]

Teams like Ipswich and Sunderland (and other teams that suffer relegation) always think they're too big for the league. They never stop to look at Sheffield United, Leeds or Leicester, or many of the other 'big' clubs that stayed down for multiple seasons. It's fun to see them adjust to the reality.

For teams like Coventry and Portsmouth, who've been in League Two for multiple seasons recently, I don't know what their excuse is for the big B*****s mentality.

To be honest, exactly the same as some of our fans when when we were relegated to the conference!

Portsmouth haven’t been good for years yet all their fans think they’re amazing

It's a natural reaction. "Excellent, we get to be a big fish for the first time in ages!"

It's very difficult to expect promotion without seeming cocky. You still have to respect the opposition, and I can't believe so many fans are incapable of it.

Coventry fans should be aware that if they do go up, relegated West Ham/Watford/Villa, etc fans will be saying "Ugh, I can't believe we have to play small fry like Coventry again. We'll walk the league against opposition like that."

Pompey have a difficult run plus the FA Cup and JPT final.

Portsmouth have the toughest final run of games of any of the top teams - having to play six of the top ten (plus the cup games).

A - Peterboro
H - Fleetwood
H - Accrington
H - Doncaster
A - Ipswich
A - Oxford
H - Bristol Rovers
A - Rotherham
H - Blackpool
A - Southend
A - Burton

Just hope they don’t overstretch their youthful squad.

It would be achieving too much, too young ...

All the best puns were already used in the thread set up when they announced the kit.

Nobody been on that thread in months, in fact it's coming like a ghost town over there. Replies don't post no more.

Who'd have thought a couple of weeks ago that we would be just one point behind Sunderland and a point ahead of Peterborough?

You and me.

No doubt. Also, after our away kit, their home strip is the best in the division by a country mile.
