Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium (34 Viewers)

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

It's always simplistic to say that though. I mean Adebayo looks class, they cross the ball well, and they play it quickly. They're not without wit at all.

He's the only one showing anything.

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

Only BNC and Hamer have turned up so far.

Change made godden for allen

 

[CovInEssex]

Allen for godden

 

[croatskyblue]

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

yes and how do you do that with only Vik

I’m not disagreeing with you here about their style, but this isn’t about the nicer team to watch- they have a really effective system, they are sticking to it with great success and we now have to do something without getting offended at their long balls

 

[covcity4life]

Good sub. Allen's been dogshite

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

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.

If we lose but put up a fight then I can accept it.

 

[HadjiChippo]

I still believe in the lads, stage fright in the first half but we’re only 1 down and still in with a chance

 

[croatskyblue]

I can’t to be honest, let’s win this f*cking thing

Get Palmer on

Going to play walking football second half? In all seriousness a bloke who hasn't played probably isn't the answer yet as he'd be eaten alive too! Anyway Godden on, got to hope that works although not sure how.

 

[Tommo1993]

One half to turn it around. Why not try the sub

nor me but we live in hope

I think maybe we’ve been under so much pressure the only real plan is get some kind of support to Vik and see what happens

Guess we can't do worse!

Adi and Robins masterclass incoming

 

[croatskyblue]

27 years since anyone came from behind to win a playoff final apparently- it’s all set up for a bit of history to be made

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Adi and Robins masterclass incoming

Better be otherwise they can burn their 4 year contracts

Neither were Wimbledon or Watford. Taylor gets stick but he was a very clever club manager.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Robins described Godden as our talisman a couple of years ago. Here's hoping he proves it today.

He was indeed. I actually enjoyed watching his club teams mind!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Awful corner by Gus.

 

[fatso]

What's Doyle doing up there ?

 

[ccfcchris]

Thin margins. Keep the faith.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

This is better!

 

[The CableGuy]

Christ Kelly, but this is better from City.

 

[better days]

Awful performance so far, lucky to go in only one behind. I still believe we can do it but we need to change things, not getting anybody close enough to vik. Defensively we look weak. Massive half ahead, I honestly can't say what we need to do, it's Robins and Viveash's job to get this turned around, earn your money and get this done

Luton starting to look panicky

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Godden leaves 2 in a heap. Strong.

 

[Seymour_East]

Luton look ordinary first 9 mins 2nd half, come on lads!

 

[croatskyblue]

COME ON CITY!!

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Luton look confused now we have 2 up. This is much better.

 

[croatskyblue]

Not one for saying too much against Robins.. but why the f*ck didn’t we start with this formation?

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

What formation did we play against them in the league games? Need Oggy's big book.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

What formation did we play against them in the league games?

Think 2 up

 

[OldBedrocker]

Someone needs to tell Kelly we’re in blue

 

[fatso]

Ref's not helping!

 

[Domo]

Different game this, need to get one back asap
