    Match Thread Coventry City Vs Exeter League 2 playoff final. Monday 28th May

    As before the NC away game; I’m feeling pretty confident. I also feel like I repeat myself both match threads but; we have a better technical team than Exeter and as long as MR allows the players to play football we will win. It’s also key we are in their face from the off. We did both against...

    Pre and post Wembley plans

    To be fair it all goes so quickly having a plan helps avoiding wasting valuable time before the game, especially if you aren’t drinking around Wembley. If your plan is to get to the ground and drink around there then your idea works. I really don’t want to curse things, but IF we do win, it...

    Pre and post Wembley plans

    It’s as simple as the title suggests; what are people’s plans before and after the game: To what extent are they results dependent? Are people spending Sunday and/or Monday night in London? If we win, are people planning to celebrate in Coventry or London? Etc etc. Before the game last year we...

    Fantastic support thus far. Let’s hope all those going for the first time are reminded what it’s like to support a team, hopefully in a positive way, and are there to watch us in the league next season. In terms of the pressure of extra fans; on Friday night a lot of the players were actively...

    In two days that really is fantastic. If the atmosphere is anything like Friday night it’ll be an amazing night. And if we win, I think I’ll need to book more than the Tuesday off work.

    Brilliant Video

    You can tell it means a lot to them and they care about the club, which is fantastic to see. We all love this club and it means a lot when the players do too. And fair play to the club for putting this together.

    Judging players

    The two aren’t necessarily independent of one another, a player can have a good work rate and still have quality. It is frustrating when people do that though, a little bit like people mistake the fact a strikers sole purpose is to score goals.

    Togetherness

    That was a brilliant moment. Seeing a player care about the club as much as the fans is special. To be fair, even the reaction of the rest of the players was quite emotive. I agree with the OP, I can’t remember the last time I saw a team this together, and that extends to their relationship...

    There are genuine reasons for people not being able to attend. But for me, this is our biggest match in recent history, certainly in my lifetime, I wouldn’t miss it regardless. If you’re a supporter, you’re there.

    Interest in McNulty

    He seemed pretty committed to the cause last night, as has increasingly been as the season has progressed. MR gave him his full backing when some of our fans (classic idiots) were against him early in the season and his confidence has visably improved. We’ve also given him more starts this...

    I’m Sorry Burge

    He played really well last night and he overcame all his usual frailties. Hopefully it’s a turning point in his development, but we’ve been here before with Burge. I’d still like to see an experienced keeper signed in the summer, especially if we are promoted.

    Nolan

    But not in the two important ones, so it’s irrelevant really. On point as always.

    Biamou

    Always liked him and it was evident his technique was always excellent, he just needed time to adapt to professional football. We are now seeing the full benefits of that. He was brilliant last night and not just the obvious stuff, his defensive contribution was massive. Plus I lost count of...

    Nolan

    He’s found his level, his tactics are one dimensional and he has a clear lack of a plan b. Fair play for getting his team to the play offs, but when they played against a team who can actually play football they were blown away. The higher up the leagues he goes as a manager, the more...

    I thought JCH was the far superior player when he came on. Kept the ball well, won every header, defensive and offensive, and had a great first touch.szz Really really pleased for Biamou - he absolutely deserves it.
