My wife couldn't care less about football, but has predicted the last 4 Coventry results correctly. Says it's going to be 2-1 Cov.

Mine is now so into it she curses me for ‘making’ her support CCFC.

Ryan Giles thinks we’ll fear going up there against them! Who the fuck does he think they are?? Borocelona? Twat!

I’ve just had a look on the paddy power site and

Bidwell first goal and 4-1 as double is 500/1
I’m having a punt on it

Firstly, hello all - just registered and will only stick around until the play off semi final is finished.
We have a number of key players missing and rumours are they are not going to make the 1st leg - Howson, Forss, Ramsey and Fry. All of which would be certain starters. I am worried about our right side and thought you found lots of joy there on Monday.

We genuinely concede most goals, at one point we did not care as we where scoring 2 or 3 ourselves but its all dried up a bit of late. I am hoping the couple of changes and players taking the foot off the gas once top 4 was confirmed will be a distant memory and we will come out like we have been for much of the second half of the season.

Managed to secure my ticket for Sunday, first time at the ground. I cant say i am looking forward to it because frankly i am bricking it.

Snap, we have Callum O’Hare, Palmer , Sheaf missing and Jamie Allen who has just returned from injury on the bench last Monday.

I can honestly say we are not over confident or arrogant regarding our game with you - the idiots you see on the various social media platforms and the dregs of our fan base, we all have them. The level headed of us are very nervous and genuinely worried for this game.

Safe journey down, enjoy the game but hopefully not too much.

Did anyone have any problems parking at Tesco for the Blues game? The cynic in me wonders if they'll try and enforce the 2 hour maximum stay unless you spend £50, a bit like the council nailed the exclusion zone for the Lionesses game.

Buy something for £50, then return it.

Personally I think even a draw on Sunday would not be a disaster
The pressure on them for the return leg would be enormous
Still expect a narrow win for us on Sunday

We score first our crowd will be boiling and ‘Boro could implode, their players seem confident of success fair enough but coming out publicly like Giles is a bit risky.

A point was required on the final day and a point is what Coventry City got. It sets up two further games between the Sky Blues and Middlesbrough, with the reward a shot at Premier League football …

Can anyone tell me if and when the game is re-shown on Sky Sports on Sunday.

I have to go to hospital on Sunday, so will miss the match and I no longer have Virgin Media. I just have NOWTV so obviously can't record.

Trying to find when it is on again, but TV guides don't seem to help when I look at them. The NOWTV guide is just now and next.

Is it shown again on Sunday, can anyone tell me?


Thanks.

Trying to work out how and where to watch this and the away leg in Thailand proving a challenge. Assumed it would be on before the prem games but doesn’t look like it

Unless anyone has any tips I’ll be asking nicely on Sunday for the barman to sift through every single sports channel

Still hasn’t sunk in that in two days we’re playing a Playoff Semi and might be PL next season.

Starting to feel the jitters now! I’m trying to lead with the feeling of whatever happens, happens. It’s incredible we got this far.

But like when you buy a lottery ticket and you instantly start thinking how you’ll spend the money in your mind… I’m already dreaming about that 3rd pint in the sun at the green man, about to take that walk to Wembley

Oh yes, probably. Would rather watch a replay of the whole match though to be honest.

Right well I'm getting fucking nervous now, can see both games being good for the neutral. Finding it really hard to predict but I think there'll be a few goals. Heart says 2-1 City and if we can take a win to their place we stand a chance. Head says another 1-1.

I'd stick to the same side, don't think Sheaf is ready to start but would bring him on if we're ahead going into the last 15/20. Wouldn't be too disappointed if Allen started ahead of Godden to hassle them in midfield.
