Fabulous start to the weekends proceedings last night. Liverpool v Chelsea early KO, fancy the Blues in that.

Some good games in the PL, none bigger than Hammers v Everton, "el sackio" as some are calling it.

And come on Bristol City v Venkys.

Don't have BT Sport now so will have to watch the Championship game to kick off my day. I'm not keen on Friday night football but when you've won it does make Saturday more relaxing and enjoyable.

Coventry vs Norwich on Sky.
If Norwich win they knock Rovers down to 6th.

Norwich looking far better under Wagner already.

HiThere will be happy when I say our next game at their place will be a tough match. 😉

Norwich will win the Play-Offs I reckon. They’re a far better team than the likes of WBA and Boro and just needed rid of Dean Smith to get going.

Yeah, it'll be a tough un at Carrow Road, but I'd back us to beat anyone in this division now.

Have to be up for it though.

Coventry won’t get near the play-offs. Gyokeres has 18 months left, their optimum sale time is this window. We are almost certainly promoted.

Go for it, heavily weighted with an ‘on promotion fee’ extra.

1-3 as I type this.

Very shocked at how poor Coventry are today after their very decent showing on the Turf last week.

Norwich looking very good going forwards and next week will be another tough game.

With us and Sheff Utd pretty clear in automatic then the play offs are looking a good battle with Norwich, Middlesbrough and WBA all going well with momentum, obviously a long way to go between now and then but should be some good games.

Cov need to cash in and re-spend the money on a better squad. Way too thin and clear weaknesses in some areas. I don’t get why these clubs get so obsessed with holding onto players when they could get good money to reinvest. Same with likes of Bristol City with Semenyo (demanding 15m) and Scott (25m).

We play them two weeks today. Tough, but we'll be favourites again.

Same mistake we made with likes of Tarkowski, sometimes you have to get rid of one to refresh the rest. They’ll regret it I think (as we did, notwithstanding how great he was for us).

As I type this, it’s 2-3 and he’s just scored!

Switched over now, I'll probably miss a Chelsea hat trick or something.

Coventry have been really, really bad today. Lethargic and cumbersome.

That striker really ought to be leaving them.

Our game at Norwich in a couple of weeks could be an entertaining affair. Looks like Wagner has taken the shackles of them but that would leave things open for us to pick them off a bit like when we played Swansea at home. Going to be another tough game but this team of ours always seems to find a way currently.

Wagner has certainly got the Canaries singing. I thought he was most unfortunate with what happened at Huddersfield.

Got West Ham v Everton up next should be a thud and blunder affair. Going for the Hammers, think they'll have enough to get out of trouble but Everton looking shaky.
