He's clearly not accounting for another pandemic.

if it was only a number 1 I had to worry about

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

I'd convinced myself this was all set to end with heartbreak after losing to Sunderland in the final.....

So now I'm all turned around on it..... PUMP IT UP, CITYS GOING UP.

 

[shmmeee]

Such a well reasoned response Robert

 

[Matt smith]

Luton have no standout players but have an actual squad which has allowed them to last the distance. Our heavy reliance on one or two players to do the business is the riskier strategy I’d argue

Agreed mate

why there’s such a panic over an injury issue

 

[Matt smith]

Will we be better next season if we don’t go up?

Gyok will almost certainly be off. There is a good chance Hamer goes as well. Doyle will go back to Man City and McFadzean will be a year older so our back line will be a shambles. The only bit of hope I’m seeing is that Sheaf and Palmer will likely still be with us.

For me, the playoffs are do or die. If we lose I genuinely think we’ll struggle next season.

I don’t think we’ll struggle struggle, mid table at best probably

this summer is all about whether we spend the funds incoming from exits wisely

Another happy chappy

Eh? Apart from 20 goal Carlton Morris

 

[Matt smith]

I think they will and they will also hopefully be given enough of the Gyo and Hamer fees to do it with. Important not to forget they were both signed for low 7 figure fees and developed into some of the league’s best players. Confident we can do it again but across more of the squad, but it will take time for a high number of new players to bed in.

Transitional season next year ready to challenge again the year after if we stay in this division

And what you think really matters....

Cute

Didn’t know he had that many. All I’d noticed was him cheating against Boro then admitting it after the game

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I agree. This is our best chance and could be for some time to come.

Yeah, you only have to look at Barnsley to see what can happen. Quite similar to a in a way. Built their success off the back of a good striker (Dike) and combative midfield (Mowatt) combined with an excellent defensive record. It wasn’t a surprise to me when King mentioned them a few weeks ago.

The bigger problem for them was the managerial appointment. Robins and Viveash going would concern me more than any player.

The key thing for both Barnsley and Huddersfield was that they also changed manager for the following season

Oh course Diallo doesn't dive and cheat?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oh course Diallo doesn't dive and cheat?

Eh? Weren’t talking about him

 

[Hobo]

Eh? Weren’t talking about him

But we should be! Especially if you are calling out another player for cheating?

 

[Garlana86]

How we all feeling?

Quite nervous but also im slightly releaved that it will only be Luton or Boro who knock is out if we dont make it, Sunderland beating us at Wembley would have been extremely painful.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He called himself out!

 

[Hobo]

He called himself out!

Some honesty then?

 

[Houchens Head]

I watched the game on Sunday and was impressed with Norton-Cuffey. I managed to stream the game through hesgoal and then done a wireless display through my 50" telly. Sod paying Sky! Same again tonight methinks!

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah I’ll always give the club £10 but fuck Sky.

You know there’s this place called the CBS Arena where you can watch Coventry games. Try it some time!

[clint van damme]

Yeah, elderly guy who lives outside cov and is full time carer for his wife, wum account or not, thats cuntish.

 

[theferret]

I was weirdly calm on Sunday, but just about to set off for game and heart is pounding already. This is about as big as it gets.

 

[Boosh]

Maybe know who you’re talking to before going in for a wind up

Nah he was vile to me. If that’s the game he wants to play

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Not everyone lives in Coventry you fool

 

[Boosh]

Not everyone lives in Coventry you fool

Then you aren’t a real fan. Unless you travel to the games of course

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Nah he was vile to me. If that’s the game he wants to play

How?
Why not just apologise and grow up?

 

[Boosh]

How?
Why not just apologise and grow up?

Following me around again Pete. He didn’t apologise to me, if he does I will too.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]
