We have a decent record against Cov at their place.

We haven’t lost there since they moved to their new ground. Even though we were 3-0 down under Martin before drawing 3-3.

I’d expect a few changes for this with more winnable games coming up in the following days - expect to see a few of Idah, Key, Cullen, Casey and Samuels-Smith.

Nasty tackle that, no chance that gets overturned.

We're 19th at the moment...

We're 19th at the moment...

But more importantly, still 7 points clear of the relegation places, same as we were at the start of the day.

Charlton beating Oxford cost us a place in the table, but kept us 7 points clear of 22nd.

One win could theoretically see us climbing as high as 14th, but a defeat would only drop us a maximum of one position in the table.

I say all that because 19th sounds bad, but thanks to 3 wins in 4 games, we're actually more comfortable as regards relegation spots than that position in the table would suggest.
