    Need a better goalie in the summer for sure

    VAR needs an overhaul

    WBA sure do get the rub of the green a lot. Against QPR, a WBA player punched a goal-bound effort off the line and the ref didn't see it.

    VAR needs an overhaul

    Problem is many of the refs and linesmen suck. A better blended approach using both VAR and refs/linesmen has to be adopted with marginal decisions giving the benefit of the doubt to the attacking/defending team after careful consideration of the circumstance/outcome.

    We have to summon every ounce of energy and use the players who didn't play much or at all in this match (i.e. Palmer, Torp, Eccles, Binks, Godden Allen, Da Silva). I know we aren't Man City who played Chelsea after a grueling AET loss to Real Madrid, but we have to that kind of mentality to go...

    Next Season

    We need to have 2 quality players for every position. We are still short in several areas and with games coming thick and fast in this division, our lack of consistency has let us down at times. Hopefully our great cup run has made us attractive for potential recruits and that we are able to...

    Luis Binks

    Sign him up! I have been singing his praises for quite awhile now.

    We NEED to appeal that.

    Things are rigged by the powers that be to favour a Man City vs Man Utd final as it will sell more tickets. I don't think this decision will be overturned. The league and the world is corrupt.

    Surprised Godden didn’t take any. Simms needs to have stepped up as well.

    I bet they’ll get offers. Hope we rebuff any bids. Hope COH makes a uturn and re-signs (unlikely I know). Hope we sign Binks, get a new goalie, CM, striker, and flesh out other gaps.

    So proud

    Proud of the team today. Now carry this performance on to the next 4 league games and win them all. No more shitshows like against Birmingham or Cardiff. Go for it Sky Blues!

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    The manager should be allowed to challenge the VAR call, especially marginal ones like this. Theres a challenge flag in the NFL. Think they should adopt something similar here.

    At some point, we have to hang onto our best players and refuse to sell. COH leaving this summer will further decimate our depleted midfield department. I hope DK sees how far we’ve come since he’s taken over and arms MR and AV with the budget to make next season the one where we get out of this...

    Not sure I agree. Though it’s cruel to lose this way, it shows we are not that far off from being a competitive PL team. We gave too much respect to them and played too deep in the first half. If we took the game to them sooner we could’ve maybe won during regulation.

    This game should give this team the belief that they can compete with the big boys in the EPL. We just have to work on making performances like this (for the last 21 mins of regulation plus 30 mins of extra time) a more consistent part of the way we play. We have raised the profile of this team...

    Next time we get to Wembley, we have to make sure to win it without going to penalties. Penalties haven’t been good to us. Anyway, we were robbed and 4-3 to us would have been fair.

    Collins should have done better for the first goal and we got outmuscled for the second goal. This clearly shows the gulf between the EPL and Championship. We sat too deep and invited pressure. Now we have to go get a goal. Clearly we’ve got to recruit better and get a better goalie and other...
