Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium (8 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Last ten minutes was better, got to hope they're slowing. Expect a tough first ten minutes of the second half and hope if we ride it out space opens up a bit.

We might need to shoot then

We’ll do them in the second leg

 

[Finham]

BNC our most positive player

Why are people being so negative about him?

Disagree. It’s route one hoofball

Targeted though. They're just very effective at what they do, as we've seen over the seasons. It's not hit and hope, it's hit with a plan.

He’s the only one showing attacking intent

Wondering if you could risk it. Allen off for Eccles and move Hamer further up the pitch.

Disagree. It’s route one hoofball

It is proper prehistoric football

Exactly. It's not lucky. They have totally dominated us.

 

[skybluecb]

Godden for Allen go direct like them, nothing to lose good thing is only 1-0

they are very very effective

and anyway it doesn’t matter, we either find a way to deal with it and combat it or we lose

So is theres

He's the only one showing anything.

Sheaf, Allen, mcfadz, Doyle, bidwell, Kelly, gyo completely bottled it so far

Get the taxi ready….

(hoping people screenshot this to throw it in my face later)

It’s hoof up to the brick shithouses. We knew they were going to do that. And we have sat back and facilitated it

Reminds me too much of the 5-0 last season! In that respect for us to only be one down at HT is a result!

 

[hamil99]

Except for perhaps the last 10 mins, that's was really disappointing. I hope Robins shoves a firecracker up their arses at half time.

they remind me of Stoke City under Pulis

Godden for Allen sooner rather than later

 

[CovInEssex]

Lucky to be 1 down, but time to stand up and be counted. It's okay mcnally trying to gee the fans up, he should try and gee up his own players.

don’t agree that we have sat back, we have been pinned back

 

[croatskyblue]

Godden not warming up, could be coming on

 

[Deleted member 5849]

I don't see what that serves either though. If anything I'd throw Eccles on and try and control the midfield first.

You need to stop the hoof at source.

It's amazing to see something so akin to Watford and Wimbledon in the 80's flourishing in this era.

I'm not sure what Robins can do at half time to turn this around. It feels like Luton have an extra couple of players out there.

Bring Godden on and an already overrun midfield is going to be toast while Luton defenders will cope with the resulting long balls all afternoon. Palmer for Allen? It's a pretty big ask for someone with no match fitness.

but who is going to do that, Vik has had nothing. Has to change

 

[covcity4life]

Terrible first half. Lucky to only be one down

Maybe sub Allen off at half time and change it up. Palmer or godden

 

[shepardo01]

Godden not out warming up at HT

 

[fatso]

Eccles for Allen and Godden for Kelly or else it's game over, we simply have no answer to Luton's physicality.

We are so lucky to only be 1 down.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You need to press further up the pitch. As it is I see us ‘missing out on an opportunity’.

 

[Tommo1993]

Really haven’t enjoyed the game. It’s taken us near 40 minutes to get a decent foot on the ball. This could be the biggest 45 minutes of their lives.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Looks like Godden is coming on. Grabbing his shirt.

the majority of the game is being played in our defensive third, that’s the first thing that has to change

 

[Nick]

Get Palmer on
