Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium (26 Viewers)

[Grendel]

Not really, he came on here and wanted to argue with Grendel immediately. It’s the tell tale sign of someone with multiple accounts

what he does is he gets dopes like Tony to feed him stuff and has a fake conversation pretending to “shocked” at my views

yet strangely knows what another poster said in January about a game against Wrexham

I don’t even remember what you said yesterday let alone in January!
He doesn’t even reside in Croatia, probably lives in Tile Hill

I’d rather get battered 4-0 than lose on pens

Haha yeah love a good 4-0, top day out

I was being facetious

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah , our goal was a perfect example of route one, eh?

With all due respect man, at one point you had four attackers up against our back line and were just lumping balls up to them.

 

[shmmeee]

It's odd. Man City can score a goal with three passes and it's brilliant. We do it and it's goofball.
What we did was a legacy of Nathan Jones, Rob Edwards came in and smartly realised that dismantling a system the players were familiar with would be counter productive. It's proved a wise decision.
Next season it'll be ' all his own work'. As a football club we e always played decent stuff, especially this season. It's only the teams we've beaten that think they're bigger than that whined about our ' style'.
Look at the final table and you'll see that goofball hasn't got us many goals, but as a unit we are as one.

Nah this is downright delusional. You guys are lovely and I’m happy for you. But you play fucking awful football, the worst I’ve seen all season. Constant fouls, big long balls. It’s effective, but that’s about it.

The argument is that of, if you are getting well beaten there becomes an acceptance within the game that you have lost and it's gradual.

To lose on pens is just that instant, immediate kick to the gut and all the outpouring is one instant moment..

I'm neither a buzzard nor a small blue butterfly. I can't imagine Grendel is actually a monstrous creature (cue some posters jumping in...) and are you an arse doctor? I've no idea who croatskyblue is and know nothing of his history on the forum.

It’s a horrible feeling, but you go to games for the emotion and the drama. A drubbing has none of that, it’s just shit.

 

[its a buzzard]

I’m only kidding, you have made some valid points. Fake accounts like Croatskyblue are just boring, however

Fair enough, and I understand you're suffering after coming so close yesterday; we all are.

I think worst all season is a bit harsh. There link up play in the 1st half was pretty good. 2nd half when we got at them they were way more niggly.

Lads you’re arguing with someone who’s been bullied so much on their own account they’ve had to make a new one and this buzzard loser who’s only contribution to the forum is taking the piss out of people with learning difficulties. Neither of which even attended the game. Don’t let them get you worked up

Winning football isn’t awful.

Their forwards have strength and pace - the lack of pace across the back line was badly exposed

Midfield didn’t touch the ball in the first half

Despite losing their centre half they other than the goal stopped Gyokeres pretty well

lost their talisman manager and replaced him with an even better version

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Was hoping to wake up today to find out they'd changed the rules overnight and that if the teams are level after extra time, both teams get promoted and four come down. Sadly not the case.

Reality is a bitch.

 

[Evo1883]

Pretty close game against overall 2 evenly matched teams .. one had to lose , sadly it was us

That would make for some incredibly dull play off finals

 

[ajsccfc]

It was weird seeing quite a lot of Luton fans leaving at the same time as us. If ever there's a time to hang around after the final whistle

Of course winning football can be awful and losing football can be great. What a weird POV.

I mean I know we had a few daytrippers but blimey I saw one bloke with a Luton flag on his back with a Chelsea tattoo on his leg

Good to have you back.

To be fair I saw people in Wembley that I know who support Liverpool and Man Utd

you play football to win matches

you create a system of play to suit you. Pace is a weapon and we lack it so it would always be a problem if we let them get behind us

Middlesbrough said the same about us and they dominate possession

Possession stats and passing stats win nothing and a fan just wants to win football matches

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Who cares if Luton were direct, they still have to play it well. If they played bad hoof ball they wouldn't have finished third and been in the position they are in.

Pretty sure we did the same to Middlesbrough and have gone a lot more direct to Gyokeres in the last 12 weeks of this season when we lost all our attacking midfielders

They were ofcourse no better than us on the day .. and won on penalties which is a lottery

 

[jordan210]

First half we could not cope with their only tactic of hitting it long being physically and trying to win the second ball.

Unfortunately for us it worked every time

Might not be the prettiest football but it worked time and time again

 

[SBT]

I thought they were generally better value than us. Especially impressive given they lost their captain so early on, in pretty disturbing circumstances too….had no idea about that until I read it this morning.

Yes that’s true. They dominated the first half but then seemed to retreat and defend the lead. When we scored I thought we could go and win the game but created nothing afterwards really

Hamer going off was a massive blow. He was the one player on the pitch that could create or produce a winner

don’t understand why we bought palmer on at all

It puzzled me too. I like Palmer as a footballer but we shouldn’t be bringing someone on that hasn’t played for 5 months.

wasn’t the game for him anyway. I’d have stuck him on with a minute to go for the penalties

A creative alternative to win the game. I see why, but it didn't work.

As it was the other side of the ground we were sure it was off the ball but couldn't make out what had happened, I thought he'd turned his ankle or something as there wasn't the panic I'd expect to see with a collapse like that. Glad he seems to be ok

 

[Nick]

Did their player break his leg?
