I post this not to break your hearts, but simply for the memories and posterity.
Clive and Oggy (& Miffy) reacting to greatest comeback in our history, and the realisation when it was all taken away.
Part One: "And just maybe, Coventry City have given themselves a lifeline."

Finally got round to having a proper perve over that pass from Callum Doyle at the weekend.

The final six minutes on Saturday was the ultimate Clive, Oggy & Winchy moment.
So for posterity, I thought I’d pull it together in one thread, squeaks and all.

This was the goal, you know. We were absolutely done without it. Blackburn would have been 4 ahead and a game in hand.
Never gonna forget how ridiculous that final month was. Am so up for fighting for it all over again. Being involved is too fun.

How much extra football was actually played after the six minutes of stoppage time VS how much time the Ched Evans substitution actually wasted.

Prior to coming on against Blackburn, Liam Kelly had played 6 mins of league football since Boxing Day.
He’s played every minute since Ewood Park, blasting out three full 90s on the spin.
From L2 to the Championship playoffs.
So impressed with how he’s stepped in. What a guy.

Ben Sheaf had the 2nd highest tackles-per-game in the Championship last season.
He's completed 15 tackles so far this season.
That's 14% of the total tackles he completed in the whole of last season.
In just two games.
Started like a man possessed and I love it.

Worth noting that none of the players than finished the game today started the playoff final.
This is a transition and a half.

Mark is The One.

Simms gets absolutely no grief from me. Whether it's one yard or one inch, there's no room for holding back at 1-1. You make sure that ball goes in the net for the team and worry about who gets it afterwards.
If in doubt, make sure to steal your teammate's goal just to be sure😅
Here is the moment Ellis Simms knicked Haji Wright’s header to give Coventry City the lead against Swansea City this evening 🎯

Use fan snobbery for good and not evil.
Ostracising fighters, troublemakers and people who run on the pitch? Yes yes yes.
Slagging off families, kids and less frequent fans who might not choose to/are not able to go every week but are excited about the weekend? No no no.

Coventry City after 19 games:
- L1 title season: 31 points
- Last season: 32 points
- This season: 29 points
Which considering we only had one win to our name 29 days ago…
This is beyond stunning.

Update:
Last season we had 58 points after 40 games, 3 points off 6th place having played a game more.
This season we have 63 points after 40 games, 4 points off 6th place with a game in hand.
However this ends up, we're giving it a bloody good go.
Last season we had 57 points after 39 games, 4 points off 6th place Blackburn, who had a game in hand.
This season we have 60 points after 39 games, 4 points off 6th, but this time we have the game in hand.
Today was not a great day but it’s still all to play for.

Hard not feel a tad reflective as we see the club enter a new era. Losing Adi, Fadz, Kels, COH & Godden means only a few of the L1 winners remain.
Inevitable of course - and we've done it before watching the L2 playoff team gradually move on - but sad nonetheless.
Champions.

One of my favourite things about this goal is the fact that Bidwell is the furthest forward by the time it goes in. Never stops running that man.

Wonderfully anticlimactic couple of minutes where everyone starts to realise we’ve made the playoffs… everyone except Clive and Winchy of course, whose feed is so delayed they think the noise is Boro fans getting impatient.
These are special moments. They don’t come back. Haha.

This man's lost three separate playoff finals (Brentford in L1, Swansea & Coventry in the Championship).
About time we put that right, I think.

Sly pops at Hamer because he hasn’t committed to anything yet just isn’t my sort of vibe. Maybe… he’s still figuring it out. We’re so fucking demanding and impatient all the time. The insatiable “you must tell us everything you’re thinking all the time and always” is tiresome.

After the first game of the season.
Like him or not. Rate him or not. Whatever you think, that’s very much your call.
But if your call to arms after the first game is to ask people to stop defending one of the players, you have a problematic approach to supporting our team.

Wikipedia summarises Burge's Cov career into three moments: being sent off (2014), hit by puck (2018) and leaving (2019).
For a guy with the most GK apps since Oggy, who won the Checkatrade, play-offs and made a team of the year, his might be a slightly underappreciated stint.

People who think toepoke finishes are low quality ain't got a clue. It's playground snobbery. These players aren't kids still learning to kick a ball properly. A stab of the toe in the box generates power from nowhere, catches everyone out. Potent stuff.
'It means EVERYTHING... I'm so happy'! 🙌
Callum O'Hare is 'BUZZING'! 😁

But for all the pain, I’ll still be dreaming of the goal and that celebration tonight.
Those are the moments you live for.
Those are the memories that endure.

As for Kyle McFadzean, he’s been terrific this season. Our most consistent player. Not perfect - which is impossible - but tenacious and really trustworthy. Exactly what we need from a player in that position.
Very, very well done.

I find it unfathomable that Doyle and BNC have gone straight from that onto a flight to Argentina for the U20 World Cup.

Can't say I blame him for the celebration. The pile on after one game of the season has been excessive.
Plus as a general rule, we're all over-the-top idiots so deserve everything we get.

Hello
@BBCcovsport
. I know you’ve blocked me, but on the off chance you see this I’d like to (respectfully) clarify some of our players’ names:
Fankaty not “Frankaty”
Westbrooke not “Zainbrooke”
Bakayoko not “Babayako”
Liam Walsh not “Bradley Walsh”
Sorry if this makes me git.

You know what's great?
We've now scored 2+ goals in 6 consecutive games (all competitions).
That's quite the sequence for us. By my reckoning, our best such run in the last 35 years.

Pound for pound, the 2nd half may have been Jamie Allen’s best half of football for us. First time we’ve ever seen him run the attack himself. He’s never had to before. His involvement and coordination for goals 2 and 3 was exceptional. Nice to see he has it in him. More please.
This. We really miss star men. The others play supporting roles really well, but at some point some of them have to step up and believe they can be difference makers too.
