The comeback was better with league 2 included and I wouldn't change it for anything. Was better than winning league 1 in terms of joy
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 standsThe comeback was better with league 2 included and I wouldn't change it for anything. Was better than winning league 1 in terms of joy
Robins at Stoke and Pressley at Dundee, the rest are jobless and/or out the game completelyNot many of those names are currently in work.
Got to disagree with this. League two was horrendous for the majority of it, the double agaisnt Accrington and forest green. Morecambe away.The comeback was better with league 2 included and I wouldn't change it for anything. Was better than winning league 1 in terms of joy
I’m trying to cast my mind back 9yrsApart from Robins that list is depressing
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 mediaApart from Robins that list is depressing
Grimmer curling in the 3rd at Wembley though. Pure joyGot to disagree with this. League two was horrendous for the majority of it, the double agaisnt Accrington and forest green. Morecambe away.
I almost forgot - Lincoln and Yeovil dicking us at home. League one was great becuase as the season went on it became apparent we were just better than everyone else. We’d have won the league by 10-15 points had we continued
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 awayGrimmer curling in the 3rd at Wembley though. Pure joy
Winning a league is amazing but COVID and still Andrews means it will always be behind league 2 playoff winning season for me
Port Vale away, Venus got a very small bounce and a couple of wins when he took the reins iircI got married 9 years ago on this day. We actually won the next game, the first win of the season.
Did you score?I got married 9 years ago on this day. We actually won the next game, the first win of the season.
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 soonSuch a pity we couldn’t win the L1 title on the pitch, players celebrate with fans and so on. I do wonder how our first Championship season would have gone off the back of a ‘normal’ season and pre-season.
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.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

I was only young at the time and as you do when you are young anyone who is involved in football like that you want to speak to him - we got talking football and he actually said “I was nearly your manager once” - Could be referring to this time
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.League 2 was horrific at times but it makes me appreciate every minute of the past few years.
Don’t disagree with the joy from Grimmer curling it in.Grimmer curling in the 3rd at Wembley though. Pure joy

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 itDon’t disagree with the joy from Grimmer curling it in.
but outside of the 3 play off games - that season was grim (no pun intended)
for me the play offs were business as usual - I expected to win as soon as the final whistle against Morecambe
give me the canter to a league title any day

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 6-1Speak for yourself! Notts county was well nervy!! And the final seemed 5050 going into it
Big moments in league 1 and 2 though . Be nice for a documentary but I'm not sure sisu had money for cameras !!
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.There were some great days out that season as well as some very grim ones.
This! Theres a couple of big games - and obviously the play offs, but outside of that it was just bleak.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.

Which makes it a brilliant achievement to look back on. That it so easily could have ended badly.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.
