I’m sure the circumstances in which we won League 1 are probs a factor in that… It would have been so good to see us win a league which we had absolutely dominated get its natural conclusion from the stands
Robins at Stoke and Pressley at Dundee, the rest are jobless and/or out the game completely
Got to disagree with this. League two was horrendous for the majority of it, the double agaisnt Accrington and forest green. Morecambe away.
I’m trying to cast my mind back 9yrs
Infact I have just unlocked a bit of a memory - I actually bumped into Steve Cotterill once, outside a ground where we were playing, he wasn’t the opposition manager I think he was either there doing some scouting or some media
Grimmer curling in the 3rd at Wembley though. Pure joy
I got married 9 years ago on this day. We actually won the next game, the first win of the season.View attachment 46292
Odds for our next manager after Mowbray resigned…
If we’d have appointed Robins there and then with no Slade we may well have stayed up and foregone our season in L2, but thank fuck he come back eventually cause what a dire list of candidates
A lot of variables in this obviously as it was result dependent - But I am pretty sure had Covid not happened and we kept getting results the game that was earmarked as possible promotion weekend was Blackpool away
Port Vale away, Venus got a very small bounce and a couple of wins when he took the reins iirc
Did you score?
It would have still been a battle to stay up still I imagine, it also would have kicked off in Birmingham again… Unless the club actively didn’t seek a deal at The Ricoh/CBS knowing fans were not going to be back in any time soon
True, though I think we also got disadvantaged by the Championship teams playing out the rest of their season while we started very out of practice.
Agree 100 percent. The stadium is fully ours now, crushing defeat in the PO final yes but what an awesome feeling to get there, DK is a fantastic owner, etc. Regardless on how some people go over the top at times when we are not doing well, etc, these are great times for our Sky Blues and we are way better off than a lot of other clubs.
Don’t disagree with the joy from Grimmer curling it in.
We’d have stormed it by 10-15 points. We only had Wycombe and Peterborough left who were any decent.A lot of variables in this obviously as it was result dependent - But I am pretty sure had Covid not happened and we kept getting results the game that was earmarked as possible promotion weekend was Blackpool away
Speak for yourself! Notts county was well nervy!! And the final seemed 5050 going into it
Nah - I was confident as soon as we went into it. we were on a roll at that point and i didn't fear any of them. I was confident the moment we beat Cheltenham 6-1
There was a point where we lost 3 in a row, last one being Colchester away i think, where we slipped into midtable and i was really getting the feeling that the club was never coming back from this. We never really looked comfortable in our quest to get to the play offs and honestly the whole season was just horrible apart from those games which were so enjoyable they pretty much erased the memory of what came before.
This! Theres a couple of big games - and obviously the play offs, but outside of that it was just bleak.
Which makes it a brilliant achievement to look back on. That it so easily could have ended badly.
