Yup. I said Watford, Norwich and West Brom were better than us on paper.
They SHOULD have been better, but they weren't.
Guilty as charged.
Yup. I said Watford, Norwich and West Brom were better than us on paper.Yeah heard it all before TBH. There’s no guarantees at this level. Last season everyone was listing teams that were way better than us and they most finished below us.
I do not think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The key to Coventry's success isn't down to Vik or Gus, it is down to Mark Robins who has consistently improved the team year on year. He is now tied down to a contract for the next few years and even without promotion he has turned players into huge financial assets. If he and his team identified Gus and Vik with a limited budget what are they going to do with a bit of money in the bank?
Enjoy is a strong wordSaturday's game cannot be understated, it's the biggest game in the Club's history.
CCFC are 90mins from returning to the Premier League which will impact on the club for a number of years to come.
Standing in our way is a very well organised, strong and athletic side. The lads can do it, I believe that. If we play at our best we will beat Luton, I'm confident of that.
I am thrilled we have managed to get this far, MR, AV and all the players and staff at the club have been brilliant to get us here and deserve a lot of praise.
If the SBA are behind the lads from the off on Saturday, the 12th man will get us over the line, as the SBA have done for so long.
What lies ahead for City after Saturday, is after Saturday. Let's think about that then and enjoy Saturday itself.

If we don't win, we won't definitely lose Hamer. Vik probably though. No guarantee if we went up they would stay either though.I agree with the sentiment that this feels like it could be our best chance for a long while, which also adds to the sheer nerves felt at the moment.
We will undoubtedly get a fair amount of money for Gyokeres and Hamer in the summer, but those two have been so vital to our success and they way that we play that replacing them is going to be nigh on impossible. Take this opportunity and the entire trajectory of the club will be changed completely. Only need to look at clubs like Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth etc. to see how much the Premier League money can change things.
That’s not like you!!I’m the opposite. Can’t shake the idea that we’re definitely going to lose. I was feeling the same before Middlesbrough though tbf, I was so expectant of a loss in that second leg that I was feeling completely relaxed in the build up. Only when we scored that I started shitting it

I’m nothing if not consistent!That’s not like you!!
I love your optimism, I wish I had it but I just feel this is our one big chance and if we don’t do it we could end up being like Derby, Barnsley, Huddersfield who all made playoffs and then fell apart. If Hamer and Gyokeres go and the loans we have go back we will have a big rebuild on our hands and I’d rather that rebuild happen with £150m in the back burner

I watched pretty much all of Luton’s highlights on the plane over here yesterday/day before and so many of there goals comes from set pieces and errors, they hardly ever beat a man and send in a good pass, so if we can keep it tight at the back while limiting their set pieces and having our midfield 3/4 work hard turning over the ball and getting it to vik we will do these, just need to keep the mistakes low and set pieces even lower
I think the key will be winning the second balls. We need to turn over the ball quickly like we did in the second leg against boro, defo going to be about the invididual battles. Still think he will go with 1 up front
Football cliche bingo
Game of 2 halves really. It's about who wants it more
no chanceAnyone else think he’s going to start Godden?
I think we're going to play a box midfield, so no start for Godden. I'm also a little surprised at MR dismissing the possibility of Palmer being in the squad [possibly on the bench]. Is this MR providing misinformation?Anyone else think he’s going to start Godden?
Really?? We looked so much more organised with Allen in thereAnyone else think he’s going to start Godden?
Enjoy is a strong word
I personally wouldn't after how well the box worked against Boro.Anyone else think he’s going to start Godden?
No pressure then
Anyone else think he’s going to start Godden?
Also if it goes the distance you want him taking oneAnyone else think he’s going to start Godden?
Good on him and can’t believe the stick I’ve seen him get - I don’t buy the whole ‘proper Cov fans have missed out’ argument at all
He's on his way!
Can see Luton going for a high press with a dash of low block. Easy to get caught square against such a system.
May see you there?Reading all of this really isn’t helping my nerves. Can’t talk to the wife as she is an Evertonian and football got crossed off the list of acceptable subjects to talk about back in March. This week has been unbearable. Daughter has fell out with me as I got tickets for the son and my nephew. It just needs to be Saturday now so I can get out the house and mix with all the other stressed out Cov fans

We're traveling over from Mallorca and my son who was born here and is a City fanatic has arranged to meet Lauti before the game for a beer and a chat. I think he found him on social media and had been in contact.
He's on his way!
