Delusional to expect a win if I remember! You got it wrong, we all do.

To expect the win yes. I never expect to beat any side that has only lost 1 in the last 10. But as i said I thought we would win. There's a massive difference. Look at how close they came to getting the draw.

The Championship is so close. Most sides can beat each other. Did you expect Swansea would beat Blackburn 3-0 today? If anything you would have expected a Blackburn win. I thought Blackburn would win just like most of us.

Blackburn not the best team on the road, hardly a massive shock. Swansea home record this season was better than Blackburn’s away before the game too

Birmingham City have a massive chip.on their shoulder due to the fact they're a distant second in their own city.

Tbf, we have a similar chip about Villa, albeit much smaller, and it's lessened as we haven't played them for so long.

As someone who works in Birmingham with both Villa and Blue noses I can confirm this is true, forever in Villas shadow and they're bitter as fuck about it.

Would love us to go for Alfie Doughty if Luton went down.

Great player wasn’t there premiership interest in the summer?

I’m not really bothered about those two teams. Back to the point though, I did expect us to win yesterday.

Luton look so poor. Really can’t seem them turning this around and staying up.

nuts thought they’d be top 6 minimum.

That's exactly what it is.

I did a tour of the stadium earlier in the year, the tour guide who had worked for the arena since 2005 said that's the most likely scenario.

They do all the large FG town hall meetings at the arena now as well. It's a way of getting soft power for Ashley in the city. I have zero issue with it as long of Coventry play at the stadium for a reasonable price.

Having the headquarters of the biggest retail group in the country would be great for the city and bring a lot of decent jobs over.

Luton Town get battered everywhere they go. I do hope we get the opportunity to send them down when we see them next!

Luton's confidence is just on the floor. I think there is a lot of truth in the idea that it's difficult to break a losing habit. When they're in possession their team mates are running away from it. I did think that they'd have enough to get out of it but they're not showing anything.

Luton are staggeringly bad.

No confidence, no style of play. They had successes before working hard and pumping the ball long. They aren't really doing either.

Doughty and Jones have looked good but everyone else looks off it.

Before we signed Thomas and Kitching, wasn't there talk that we were interested in Anderson? He's looked pretty woeful.

Bet Bloomfield is rueing leaving Wycombe.

It's not how planning laws work. They'll want the stadium to be profitable, Ashley is not an idiot.

Andersen was the primary target but has had some serious injury problems since.

If you could go back to the play off shootout, would you have rather won or lost if our fate would have been the same as theirs in the 2 years after?

Good question. Would be interesting to see what Luton fans would say.

Hard to answer it.

I think if we'd won we'd have spent basically every penny of the proceeds on the squad and would have again if relegated, so I think a) we'd actually have had a chance of staying up and b) if relegated done far better than they have.

Potentially. If our fate was sealed and we followed exactly the same path as them? Would you swap?

I’d go back to the 80th minute and drag Hamer on by his hair and tell him he’s not injured. I’m not gonna answer the fate part though

No. I expect with the money now committed to the stadium and getting relegated there won't be much to fund a revival.

That said, our stadium situation is always insecure whereas theirs is now sorted.

If we followed Luton's path and got relegated, what would the attendance be on the first game back in League 1?
