Giles is decent going forward. Not so hot on the defensive side. We definitely need to be trying to take him on and pushing him back, so he has to focus on defending rather than attacking

If we do we mustn’t leave gaps to be picked off

The acceptance of a defeat is astounding. I hope Robins and the team do not have this attitude.

Agreed but it works both ways. If we lose tonight I’ll be seeing posts about how proud people are and we should be happy about what we’ve achieved.

I won’t be happy unless we win promotion. If we don’t the season is not a success

Fair enough most of us will look at this season as a positive Irrespective of what happens tonight .

This could also maybe allow the club to attract better players than it maybe could have if we finished 17th 18th ?

I'm happy

Not for me. I chose to book a holiday to the south of France when we were in the bottom three, not envisaging the potential of Wembley.

We are good away from home, or certainly have been since October / November. Vik and Gus should get more space as the emphasis will be on Boro to go forward. I really hope Palmer makes the bench. If we're chasing a goal he will be a perfect player to bring on. Need to start well as we don't want to concede an early goal

For reasons I cannot completely explain, I'm a lot less nervous about tonight than I was about Sunday.

Perhaps I've already given up, or is it that I'm supremely confident?!

I think maybe it's just that getting to this point, all level, everything to play for, is so, so much more than I expected this season.

Coventry are not here because they turned up for 46 games. No point looking at the if's and but's of the past season they make no difference to the team tonight. Hopefully they have had their crap game against Boro on Sunday and turn up tonight.

Lucky late goals, as if they were somehow less valid than goals scored at one other point in the game.

If Ben Wilson had been sprinting up for corners in the 5th minute rather than the 95th I assume he’d have gone off in a straitjacket

We are but the default inferiority complex is never too far away in the average Cov fan. It’s so typical to build up the opposition as indestructible super heroes.

Glad to have Palmer back if true, we were so desperately short of attacking options off the bench on Sunday.

Though he'll probably only be able to play 15 mins or so max.

Will we be better next season if we don’t go up?

Gyok will almost certainly be off. There is a good chance Hamer goes as well. Doyle will go back to Man City and McFadzean will be a year older so our back line will be a shambles. The only bit of hope I’m seeing is that Sheaf and Palmer will likely still be with us.

For me, the playoffs are do or die. If we lose I genuinely think we’ll struggle next season.

Why be pessimistic, Mark Robins will do what he has done for the last 6 years, rebuild the team again.
