[Donato's Truncheon]

Match #23 v Bristol City, which I think is when we came back from behind twice with 10 men to win 3-2.

 

[eyesee]

not beating luton at wembley turned out to be the best thing for us. not that it felt like it at the time. we weren't ready then, so god knows what would have happened had we gone up.
next year won't be easy, but we are in much better shape to make a real stab at it.

in recent history - beating boro in feb was massive, and seemed to relaunch us as a force to be reckoned with.

Athmosphere and Performance against Boro for the 3-1 was in fact incredible. Turned the season. Was so proud of the players when we lost to Luton. It was a sign that the PL was starting to come into view.

Notts C away for the play-off semi final.

Truly incredible night. First promotion I had ever seen was starting to feel possible. Away from home and we blew them off the park. Biamou’s goal is still iconic!

11. Exeter
2. Oxford
10. Notts county
34. Wolves
55. Wrexham


Great list you seem to have everything there. Hard to only select 5.

League 2 has so many great memories for me I noticed.

Match 36 was a rollercoaster and a robbery
53 was emotional
54. The cherry on top of an exceptional cake

Just makes you realise what an incredible period it has been. It 2016 I would have snapped your hand off for one of these matches. Like your top 5. League 2 had some of the best away atmospheres.

 

[Travs]

In the league, that 2-1 at home to Sunderland felt massive, there was a lot riding on it.

But its surely the Wolves game..... best moment since we departed the premier league.

I still feel match 36 was a sort of win. That 20 mins from 70 was the best of Coventry. I experienced this match with my young nephew at Wembley. An experience we’ll never forget for their rest of our lives. So happy I got to share it with him.

Great choice!

Ally ‘unbelievable!’ Clive ‘you better believe it! Coventry are going to Wembley!’

It will be a great memory and I honestly hope you and your nephew will have many great memories to follow . Ultimately we were robbed of the best comeback in the history football but this season makes up for it

We were both there today with my Dad (a Cov fan of 50 years). All very emotional. Once your sky blue your sky blue for life xxxx

#44, 3-5 Derby. One of the few I didn't see because I was at Green Man festival with no mobile signal. Getting 3 hours delayed texts in the sunshine with that scoreline, jumping around like a lunatic and getting weird looks. It was when I thought we might be about to see something really special this season. It was also the first Coventry game I'd been with my oldest mate for since Robbie Keane's debut-I knew that was a good omen!

...that was good, but torps "winner" v manure was the best moment. until var fucked it up, of course.

 

[mrfr]

Has to be Wolves. The whole thing - the tv coverage fawning over Gary O’Neill like he was the third coming of Christ, seeing Ellis Simms really go for it in a celebration, Ally’s commentary, the seemingly inevitable Wolves comeback being put down, Robins giving the ballboy a bit and then O’Neill moaning about it in the post-match, Kasey Palmer getting the stupidest yellow card of all time, the limbs in the away end, the Wolves YouTube channels going into meltdown, the o’hare pass to Simms, the cut-back to Wright and the side foot into the goal. Beautiful.

A crackerjack of a game! The way we just attacked and attacked! I didn’t know it at the time, but it was clear Frank had pushed us into a champions mentality.

Loved Robins and the ball boy! A lot of fuss after it, but a good lesson for that kid I reckon

Those 30 seconds were incredible, there’s a rude comment to be made there lads but come on we are all better than that

Match 13 my daughters 2nd away game and the first time I knew that she loved the football and the sky blues

What a second match to go to! The connection to family is a part too readily dismissed about football. The generational aspect of it is what makes us so emotional. Got to experience that with family younger and older than me today.

There was an interview with adi vivash and he said they had worked on the lay off and finish between Simms and wright in training al week and the only time wright hit the target was in the game, crazy

If you watch it back you can see Bidwell battling to contain his inner Eden Hazard. Kid got lucky, could've ended up like that Mackem mobile.

Also on Bidders, think he has had something like 2 champ play off defeats and 2 play off final losses? Delighted for the bloke that he's finally got a winner's medal round his neck.

A great servant! Glad Frank has given him a shout out on numerous occasions!

We were so good that day. Completely played them off the park. Peak Robins ball. Atmosphere was unreal and the bigger allocation in the fa cup, spread out all along the side of the pitch, topped it off.
And then to come back to win after the sucker punch goals from them was magical. Brilliant day all round.

 

[Sky Blue since 92]

It was! Matt Godden winner in the final minute! Atmosphere was fantastic!

Brilliant commentary that day as well from Clive for the winner. One of our many special come backs that season. Especially fitting in our ‘Return to the Ricoh’ season

Remember thinking how lucky we were to get to extra time only to go and bloody win in!

Bloody great performance. We technically beat them 3-1 with 10 men!

Game #60 when we qualified for Europe last day of the season. Scenes.

[Shannerz]

There were much more important games, but purely in terms of a football match, then Wolves in the Cup. A magnificent performance against a top flight team and won in the most dramatic way imaginable.

In terms of its importance (also a splendid football match, tbf), then probably Notts County second leg. Imagine if their 'equaliser' had been given. On such moments are futures made.

 

[JSL]

Match 50 versus Middlesbrough for me
