Over to you Stewart

I was on Radio Red on Wednesday evening, pretty much said the exact same thing. Chesterfield the only one of the 4 teams going into the play-offs with any kind of momentum. Also, the manner in which they grabbed that last spot will feel like a gift to them, they've got nothing to lose and will not really be under the kind of pressure the other 3 clubs will be.

If . . . and it's a big IF, we do somehow make the final, if it's Chesterfield I'm not entirely convinced I'll want to go, the thought of heading back up the M1 after losing out to them would be a hard pill to swallow.

Only season I can ever remember finishing top 6/7 and it feeling like this one is the 1995/96 Murphy-Thompson Bradford play off final campaign. This however is the 4th tier, most of us can only remember going up from this level as runaway Champions (1971, 1998, 2010) whilst the older supporters will remember us finishing runners-up in 1960. So none of us know how it feels to go up from the 4th tier via the play offs and it may be the case that teams finishing 4th to 7th are rarely above average (compared to what most of us are used to watching).

I'm clinging to that theory.... that any supporter who sees their side go up from the 4th tier via the play offs will have witnessed a less than inspiring campaign, for the most part.

Do you think Coventry fans felt like that when they beat us?
