We are indeed. The one's in the box seat.

We would surely all choose our scenario over the other two contenders any day of the week.

Bit of added concern, win or draw tomorrow and the season is extended nearly a month reducing their summer break to just a month.?Don’t know how many if any of our squad are off to another club but will those who are put the required shift in to earn a play off spot or chose sunnier climes for a few weeks ?

Ha. I put it in, it didn't look quite right, so I took it back out again.

Yep! They will earn higher wages in League One.

I'm really nervous for tomorrow, it's going to need an early goal for us to settle the nerves I think and let people go into party mode.

Think the lure of a Wembley appearance will prevent that.

In fairness knowing the club they will lower their wages.

Going on the same logic as our relegation, if we get promoted, ticket prices should be lower next year!

Most will only have a year left on their contracts though, three are loanees, I hope the prospects of higher wages in a higher division are added into their present contract

Imagine what I will be like at 0-0, backs against the wall and both Lincoln and Mansfield winning.

Nervous / excited for tomorrow tbh. Not often / ever we go into the last game of the season having something positive to play for. PUSB.

I would play the side from last week. No changes.

Don't think I'll feel nervous, unless we go a goal down. Excited - yes. Will be in a shocked state of disbelief if we fail to get over the line.

I’ve read this several times over the last week and while I get your logic and admire the optimism, the last day of the season is almost a standalone fixture, so who knows what results it could throw up.

I do think we’ll win tomorrow, but I’m also a Coventry fan who has experienced nothing but disappointment for the 20+ years of being a ST holder.

Yeah. If he wants to stick with the Dickens theme I would suggest Bleak House.

If we are not clear by 3 goals with 5 mins to go then I will become very nervous.

never thought of that really! perhaps Mcdonald & Haynes have got holidays booked and the play Off if we make it will cause them an issue so that may explain why they played like shit against Lincoln & Yeovil?:cat::cat::cat::cat:

I would suggest 'Hard Times' would be most apt.

P.S. I was at the famous Bristol match. It was bonkers - "After you Claude", "No, after you". Any number of unchallenged crosses (by Mick Coop I seem to remember) floating almost gently into the arms of their goalie, increasingly greeted with ironic cheers.

Not nervous, just v excited about tomorrow!
No score predictions, but confident we'll be in the play-offs.

Gutted to be missing tomorrow and good to hear the fans are turning out to show their support and secure earlier access for Wembley tickets.

my only dilemma for tomorrow is whether or not to go on the bevy. Not concerned about the game, we won't fuck it up. The play offs, that's a different matter!

Oh oh oh Doyle in the middle
Never gives the ball away
If we can’t beat Morecombe by a serious margin tomorrow we don’t deserve the play offs. And when we do I pray that we will meet Lincoln who despite the seemingly high profile of the Crowley brothers were the most cynical unsporting team I have seen in all my 50+ years supporting the City. PUSB

Lincoln, Exeter, and Notts all play dark age football.

I hope we get Lincoln in the final, and the massive pitch undoes them and we trash them 5-0 playing like a League Two 1970s Brazil.

they've beaten a team from the higher echelons of the league above there already this season so I wouldn't pin your hopes on it.

I don’t expect it. I hope it because I hate their footballing style. In a similar way to how I hope Jeremy Hunt gets a nasty infection lying on a trolley in a hospital corridor.
