Tears at the whistle

Feel quite embarrassed now but couldn't hide my emotions at the final whistle last night.

Pretty sure my wife now thinks I have totally lost the plot.

pretty sure she can imagine if all the things she found important and cared about suddenly just went away.. hopes, dreams, respected members of family

No tears from me but I was absolutely gutted. That footage of the littlun crying with Zack Steffen almost set me off mind.

I’m just glad it wasn’t footage of me sobbing uncontrollably and being comforted by Zack Steffen in the car park.. not a pretty sight.

Oh! Just remembered.. Paddy McNair gave me a right funny look when I shouted for Steffen to push up for the last corner with less than 15 seconds to go. Pfft! Soz Paddy!

I was alright last night, gutted but that Steffen video got me this morning.

For some reason when we don't turn up and we deserve to lose I get over it really quickly. The Norwich playoff final I was over it on the way home I think, we deserved absolutely nothing and I can accept that. When you play so well and lose, that's what hurts me more.
 
I thought I'd be more upset than I was, but it probably helps that I'm largely happy with the way the season has gone.
When Carrick was appointed, just making the play-offs seemed like a pipe dream, so I'm not going to be churlish about being narrowly beaten by a solid side.

I was mainly proud of the fans for immediately breaking out in to chants at the full time whistle, despite the huge disappointment.

It was really nice to see.

Same. I was quite content last night, decided it was clear at 70 mins that it just wasn’t falling for us and made peace with us not going through. I’ve been more angry & upset after losing league games this year…

Then I saw that Steffen video this morning and lost it 😢
 
Must say on the final whistle I was ambivalent to the whole thing.

Based on our struggles in the final third over the past few weeks I was genuinely concerned about Coventry scoring one then being able to defend the lead. My only emotion was that of frustration as to how easy they did it.

This season has been a case of drawing the line under short term/poor managerial appointments, forming a playing identity, and getting the link back between the club, fans and players. Massive changes have been made within the club structure (recruitment) and impossible they get this in place immediately. Takes time.

So I'm looking at the big picture. Promotion and being able to compete in the PL - not become cannon fodder year in year out. And if this is another year in the championship, so be it. Short term pain, long term gain👍

You pretty much wrote exactly how I felt last night, it was really strange, I just couldn't see us scoring. Even when Archer hit the bar, had the goal disallowed for offside and I think it was Lenihan had a good chance from a corner, I didn't even move cause I'd resigned myself to thinking we were gonna lose :ROFLMAO:

I know some people get more upset when we don't turn up but I guess that's people for you, we're all different.
 
I think the long run we had when we were comfortably winning just about every match made us all feel that we had the momentum and the team to get us up.

That’s why this one is hard to take.

I also think the team did turn up last night and gave their all.

I still think we are better than Coventry and Luton but maybe our form dipped at just the wrong time.

It’s been a rollercoaster of emulsion, Wilder handing us our worse start in history, Carrick transforming our fortunes, Chuba breaking goal scoring records, Archer and Ramsey arriving in January.. dreaming the impossible dream of automatic promotion.

and then.. we dropped down a few gears and couldn’t seem to get going again. Coventry were pure dog eggs and brought nothing to the table. I’m still not convinced with Dan Barlaser.. I would have rather seen Marc Bola playing in midfield. When Coventry got that goal and closed ranks we need to change our style, blunt force trauma, Crooks should have been on much earlier.

Bah, we fooked it. Really missed Howson and now we’re gonna break up a team of really special players.. feels like Karanka’s play off year. Bamford, Kike, Tomlin & Vossen could easily be Akpom, Archer, Ramsey & Muniz.. plus there’s Giles and Steffen who will no doubt be off.
