Royals fail to deliver again as Blades close in

Well what do you know? The Royals failed to score and rarely threatened against a Coventry City side who had avery little to play for. Whilst we have now completed a run of three away games without conceding or losing a game, we've only managed one goal and we clearly are not creating enough chances to threaten the opposition. Just four victories since Christmas tells its own story. A season that promised so much is in danger of fizzling into nothing. Once again we failed to make any ground on the leaders - we're now closer to Preston in 7th than we are to Wolves who occupy the top spot. Sheffield United are now level on points, only our superior goal difference keeps us in third and we all know who visits on Good Friday. To keep alive our lingering hopes of automatic promotion we simply have to win on Friday, and after three home defeats in the last four games the fans will be desperate for something to cheer about over the Easter break. Erm, a chance to resurrect our promotion push...?!

Looks like it's the play-offs now after last night's result. Then we'll have to win at least two out of the three games. When was the last time we managed to win two out of three.....?
