FAO Coventry Fans

[SkyBlue40]

Cov fan reading this thread, and tbh still elated at getting through.

Few thoughts written in peace. We got the decisions - to get 3 in just 2 crucial matches is incredible. Without them, I think we’d have had a very hard time getting through. I never get cockiness in victory anyway, but our fans should recognise that I think and realise how we’d feel.

That having been said, over the 2 matches we were the better side, so I don’t feel lucky as such.

All clubs have fans that go on too much. At this level we’ve got a big support, but then again so what? Just because there’s a few more of us than some of the clubs we play, doesn’t make us better. Otherwise let’s all bow down to Man U.

So we should be a bit more humble. But we’ve been through a terrible time as a club, and for me personally I think I’ve paid my time,so ok to be happy.

Good luck next season.

You actually got 4.

The stamp on Duffy
The penalty.
Forte's goal.
Your 3rd was offside.

Well said. And shows that at all clubs there are sensible fans.

I remember quite a few magpies signed up to a petition a few years back to try and get the FL to do something about the SISU situation. You’ve definitely been shafted, not unlike ourselves in not so recent times.

Last night hurt. We didn’t play well in the first half and could and should have been out of the tie by half time. To then somehow come back and have that taken away from us again by poor decisions is hard to take. I never thought we’d get promoted. What Nolan has done with the junk he inherited is still quite an achievement considering how bad a January transfer window we had very few thought we’d even make the playoffs. I think what he’s achieved with the tools available (and a lot are pretty bad) second only to the one at Accrington this season in our league imho. 8 of the players last night we’re in the team which were second bottom of the league 2 in January last year.

We’re not a rich club who can change 20+ players in a summer so we have to manage with what we have.

And we have a relatively new (a previous regime closed it down along with some very good prospects) youth programme which has yet to start providing dividends.

So we have what we have.

Best of luck. Hope you enjoy your Wembley day out.

The third was offside twice in the same move!

Yeah I know mate but I didn't want the Chaventry fans on here to think I was just moaning.

Thank you, I can't argue with any of that (which if you ask some on here is quite an achievement)!

You have just doubled the number of sensible, rational, reasonable non-gloating Coventry fans on here. It is possible to win with dignity.

Cheers. League 2 broadly has 3 categories of club.

Ex non league, at the peak of their history and enjoying it. Regular residents of tier 4.

And a few clubs that to a greater or lesser degree have tasted life much nearer the top of the pyramid. Obviously us, but Notts, Luton, Swindon come into that category. Fans of all these teams have had similar experiences in the past 5, 10, 20 years...whatever. They tend to be the ones I feel most in common with, so I do hope you get back to better days.

We’re still in a financial mess and I think the playoff final is a 50:50 game. Good chance we’ll be back at your place next season, so gloating stupid. Only a few weeks ago Lincoln were doing that at our place.
