Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium (3 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You don’t know that

Gyo and Hamer will be off. Relegated clubs all strong, a whole load of others too. This was it.

And it’s been taken by an anonymous shithole in Bedfordshire

You couldn't have watched many penalties then BSB.

I have seen much, much worse.

Chris Waddle against Germany perhaps

 

[croatskyblue]

The worst penalty I have ever seen. Let someone else have him

knee jerk

Remember the Lesta c**t who chipped it? That was far worse

Luton were favourites, finished 10 points clear of us. After that 1st half we did well to get to extra time.

We're all hurting now, but CCFC will dust itself off and go again.

 

[mark82]

Reckon we'll have a chance in 24/25. In league one.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I get it… but they’ve been effective all season.

How their season in the Prem goes isn’t something I particularly care about. I’m more concerned with ours in the Championship. There’s going to be a lot of turnaround and hopefully we re-invest in a squad that gets us one step further.

We’ve had our faith tested beyond the realms of imagination so many times. This is going to be another huge test but with Robins and Viveash we have the one of the best management teams in the league.

It was 1980s hoof ball crap.

 

[GIMOC]

gutted but I don’t think we deserved. Occasion got to the team. We didn’t play with any rhythm. we were second best to most balls. massive reshuffle in the summer. let’s hope we don’t lose that camaraderie with the team

 

[Tommo1993]

Let the typical, predictable accounts on here wallow in our loss and discredit Robins. I know this is what you were waiting for.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

knee jerk

Pun intended?

 

[Marty]

It's another building job for the management team, 3 years and we'll be back in the mix.

 

[The CableGuy]

Ahh well we had to taste defeat at Wembley at some point.

Charity Shield vs Everton?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Said after two pens that if it got to Dabo he’d blast it over the bar. The last player on the pitch I’d have wanted talking one.

Probably the worst I’ve ever felt leaving a football ground, just beyond gutted.

 

[OldBedrocker]

It's not Dabo's fault. Let's rise above the blame game...

Really did somebody else take the shittest penalty in football history?
If your not confident smash the fucker down the middle what the actual fuck was that he did?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sleep it off mate

This is going to sting for a good while.

On the overall balance of play, Luton probably deserved to win solely based on the fact that they created the better chances and had the ball in the in net more than once. We just seemed too nervous and ill-prepared to deal with their threats, especially in the first half. Losing Hamer ultimately cost us as he could have potentially won it for us in regulation or extra time if he was still on the pitch. Dabo should never have been selected to take a penalty. I knew he'd miss the moment he strode forward from the halfway line. He's only scored 2 goals as a Sky Blue - both own goals. A massive rebuild beckons this summer - will we be stronger for it like Luton or flirt with relegation like Huddersfield? I fear this was a massive missed opportunity. It's going to be a real slog trying to overcome the likes of Norwich, Boro, Watford, WBA, Southampton, 2 from Leicester, Leeds or Everton along with the likes of Sunderland, Millwall, Blackburn and possible half a dozen other teams.

I bet Joy was cheering Luton on.

Christ on a three wheeled tricycle. Some of you are starting to sound as pompous and bitter as the Mackems.

Yes, we lost. Yes, the game was pretty equal (even the two goals were similarly created and despatched). But remember that Luton finished 10 points better off than us, in 3rd place. Under the old promotion/relegation system, they would have been automatically promoted. We got a chance due to a last gasp effort and squeaked in with 17 days to go. In a way, luck ran out for us.


If you're in London, have a safe journey home.

this hurts but I think you’re being very overdramatic

 

[The Philosopher]

We are a year behind Luton. We go up next year. It’s that simple.

I said the same before today. And being surrounded by them celebrating doesn’t help

Doubt it, she'd have been taking home the TV money!

No we won't.

Surprised SheafisGod hasn't spoken up yet. Or is he banned ?

That's all fine, and I get letting off steam, but lets not whine when others call us an anonymous shithole in the Midlands then.

They have been for years my friend

 

[Nick]

nonsense, inches awy

Behave was it. I will be back before it lands

 

[usskyblue]

It was 1980s hoof ball crap.

It worked for them all season. No one has a divine right to win because they try to play a certain way. Our players suit our system, their players suit theirs. It’s horses for courses.

This is t the end. It’s the beginning of understanding we are good enough to challenge for the Premiership. Yes players will go but if we reinvest and make some good signings, we will be challenging again next season.

 

[croatskyblue]

people say it every season and look what happens

and as for slating Luton, what did they do apart from have a good gameplan and stick to it

never mind them, focus on us, it’s going to be a summer of comings and goings

Thank Christ he’s on a 4 year contract

 

[larry_david]

I didn't think Luton deserved it. They went like us blokes do with an attractive woman and spunked their load early doors. They spent the last 45 mins plus 30 mins ET desperate for a pen. They were absolutely done and we didn't punish them

League one in 2 years ….
Hopefully not

Yeah but lashing out on here isn't going help

That would be nice. tbh if we get anywhere near as close in that time then yep, I'll join the Robins is the best manager we've ever had club!

No chance. We will never have a better chance
