lets have a quick vote

How many of you actually believe that the ONLY reason you lost that game was the referee and his decisions?

No wishy washy "might have beens" etc- how many people think that the only, single reason you lost was the referee?

I think you were closer to being eliminated than you think.
You see, we're a bit of a schizo team. 7 of those starters were taking us out of the league in 2017 and much the same bunch were riding high in 2nd for most of this season. With this group, confidence can come and go not only from game to game but even in the same game.
Look at the first leg, you really didn't get a sniff after we scored. Yeah, you overran us in the first half but after KN's team talk we would have grinded out an away win no problem, if it wasn't for the ref. Same story at Meadow Lane. We're a team of grinders and after Forte scored we were more than capable of going on to win it, despite being outplayed again earlier.
I'm not saying I like the style we play and really hope it'll improve next season, but you should be grateful for those gifts from the officials because we easily could have knocked you out.

Good luck in the final anyway. I think I'd prefer a trip to Devon next year instead of Coventry

Yawn, I know there's not a lot to do in Coventry but these guys are ridiculous. I've had abysses less irritating than these deadbeats. I feel Exeter owe us some kind of mental abuse payment for taking them away from their board. I know Notts fans are bored of this by now, we're kind of looking to next season if you check the new threads, aren't you getting bored or do you like hanging round talking to men more than is normal?

Not me. I can’t speak for the first leg as I did not watch it but in the second leg we were not good enough for the first half up and till we scored the goal. By this point you were 2-0 up. We should have avoided conceding a goal for as long as possible and not 6 minutes into the game as it put us on the back foot from the start.

Second half we had it in us and dominated up and till our equaliser was disallowed for being off side when it wasn’t. Had that goal stood I think it would have lifted us massively and demoralised your players as you would have then gone from being 2-0 up to 2-2. So the momentum would have been with us, and with the crowd awoken I think we could have took the game to extra time or win it.

The three key referring decisions, the penalty at the Ricoh, the disallowed equaliser and your goal that stood that was offside were big decisions that cost us dearly, but were not the sole reason. We also had a number of chances to tackle your player for your third goal. The fourth took a deflection.

If only the Ricoh had a roof, they'd be title contenders in the Premiership

Corrected that for you. Coventry make Barcelona look one-dimensional.

If Nolan hadnt have ballsed up in the tranfere window and persisted in playing his two lead footed goal shy strikers, then we MAY well have gone up automatically. And all of these ifs and buts about the ref would not be taking place..

self indulgent glory hunting fans of clubs like Coventry who seem to have forgotten they are plying their trade in the bowels of the EFL's colon. Get used to it boys, I know I have, no malice intended.

Tbf I can’t argue as I would be watching the final if it didn’t involve my team and it’s supposed to be a lovely day so best off in the garden anyway fella!

One thing that did actually make me laugh out loud was the glory hunting fans comment. We are Coventry City mate, we have barely had Glory in the 40 years I’ve been on this earth following them

Point taken but it's not the likes of you I was really aiming it at. Why would all these fans who have been allegedly protesting SISU suddenly appear again when there's a sniff of success and something to celebrate. It's a tough one I know but it just stinks of double standards. Equally, it's the same across all of football and Notts are no exception. Enjoy your day mate and don't trip over your "potential" banner!

Thanks but the only ‘potential’ we have is to sell our better player to line sisu’s pockets or their next court case mate. Hence why we want to see the back of them.
