Tricky re: team selection. Not sure whether I'd put in fresh players (e.g. DKE) or ask those who played Sunday to turn out again. Because I'd had a shandy (or two), I've not yet found out whether Reilly had a knock (not on the bench?), but if fit I might have wanted a bit of his grit against Mr Fleck. Great to get a result (although not expecting one), but would be nice to keep some momentum going (albeit we all know we're going down, even if we win 5 of the last 6). Regardless, nothing can dent my warm rosy glow on this fine sunny morning!!

Saw a few "SISU in" posts after yesterday and quotes that we hadn't sold our allocation on Weds. Rapidly becoming my most hated side (even more so than Sunderland!). I think those couple of points we threw away at the Ricoh with the stop/start protest at the end of the match got them going on this run so they should be thanking us. Thankfully the 2 we lost even with this momentum is unlikely to have made much difference to our end fate.

Really hope we beat them. Can't stand that lot. However it'll sum up being a Coventry City fan if within a few days of winning a trophy at Wembley they beat us and Oxford beat Fleetwood. It'll not promote them but also mean we can still get relegated on Saturday even if we win!

Hoping that nerves get the better of Sheffield United. Believe if fleetwood lose at Oxford then they can get promotion is they beat us , so expect a hostile atmosphere .
We obviously need to win , I'm just not sure we will and at best can hope for a draw.
They still seem very bitter towards us in regards to the protests at the Ricoh that night , even though they still won the match , bizarre set of fans

Is Reilly injured for this one?

Hope we sneak a scrappy, dirty win. An own goal off Fleck's pale buttocks.
Seriously, those fans of theirs need silencing, they're a gaggle of total wankers.
1-0 or 2-1 City.

9/1 to win on SkyBet.
That's worth a tenner anyday of the week!

Whatever happens we're cup winners and I can't believe it.
As the song said
We're going down
Who gives a fuck
We're Coventry City and we won the cup

At least the c*nts can't send us down. Of the 3 teams 13 pts ahead of us, only Vale are playing midweek.
Turnbull and Stokes played brilliantly Sunday, and I wonder if it is fair to bring back Clarke and Rawson (who have played well in the last few league games, and are fresher).

I imagine he'll take Stokes out, he's still working his way back to fitness (haven't we missed him).

Are our toddlers going to beat their main men again?

Also we are 2-0 in Wembley finals and they are 0-5!
They've been to Wembley 5 times and been beaten 5 times!
Honestly cautiously optimistic about this one.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Robins will defo mix it up.
Reason and Clarke to come in.
He'll start with Stokes (Who was excellent on Sunday) at Left back and possibly Willis at Right back-if fit.
Burger will keep his place as will Bevon, Bigi and George.
I can see Folvili getting a run out-as nothing more terrifying than pace.
Draw really not good enough-so hopefully Robins all out for win.

Stokes won't play again, wouldn't risk his recovery. In fact I'd lock him in a cupboard with a 10 year contract and a pen.

35/1 for us to win tomorrow and at home to P'boro on Saturday.
Might be Wembley delusion setting in, but that is asking for me to get my wallet out!

Who is going tomorrow then? I've just bought my rail ticket to go....probably the best ground in the league, even if some of the fans point at aeroplanes...
