    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    Don't write us off just yet. While it's only 1 goal, we have a chance. Got to stay positive.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    With injury time there's 70+ minutes left. Long, long way to go.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    We can't deal with long balls, we can't pass water, and we can't match their pace. But it's still early. We can improve.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    They genuinely lump it rather than just play direct. The trajectory on some of their long balls is crazy.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    Luton composed so far. We look like we're shitting ourselves. Hopefully settle into it.

    First city game

    First one I can remember was the 3-4 Middlesboro game with Speedie and Slaven both getting hat-tricks, but I think my first City game was against Charlton a couple of years earlier. I was a footballing nomad in my early years, and my first ever game was actually watching the Bluenoses play...

    Anyone else's sleep fucked?

    If we go up, I think Wilson deserves a statue. It can replace Moore on the bench.

    Just how much did our shocking start cost us this season

    I'm looking forward to Fadz vs. Haaland.

    Anyone else's sleep fucked?

    Nervous when awake, bit I drift off imaging MR is giving a MOTD interview next season, and his soothing voice sends me right off to sleep.

    Still pinching myself

    Sensible head on, we've got a virtual brick wall at the back, but they've got a team of bulldozers. They're a brutish team, and that's my worry - early season, high balls into the box destroyed us, and Luton are full of power and height.

    Largest attendances at a Coventry game

    I sat on my own, right next to the Crewe fans for that game. One of my worst footballing memories. I don't even think we deserved to really lose if memory serves.

    Still pinching myself

    One minute I think we'll lose 3-0, the next win 3-0. My nerves are shot, and there's still a week to go.

    Transfer targets

    Just seen on that article that they have a player called Oscar Bobb. What a wonderful name.

    Still pinching myself

    Totally bonkers. That's why I think we should try to stay up on a relative shoestring rather than splash the cash. That amount of money could keep us competitive in the Championship, and possibly yo-yoing with the PL, for a decade.

    Now its potentially a reality , Will mark Robins be Coventrys greatest manager if we get promoted

    I started supporting the club during the Sillett era. I can only judge based on the managers and teams I've seen since then, and I'd say he's already head and shoulders above the others, including Sillett. Look at the players we had when he took over. They were barely better than Sunday league...

    Potential retained list

    If I was holding the purse strings, I'd be extremely cautious if we went up. I'd rather the club kept shopping in the same pool as always, keep the wage bill low (in PL terms), and stick the 150m in the bank, so that when we go down our future is secure. We could eventually use the money to...
