Football's amazing, if that match had finished 1-0 to Coventry we'd all be in such a different frame of mind.

We'd certainly be moaning about bad finishing! I wonder if we'd have done as well last season had the last minute winner against Northampton not gone in. Something seemed to change for the better that day. |

Absolutely Jan. Going into the last 10 minutes though, I was thinking how weird it would be if we lost, as was looking increasingly likely at the time. It would have been so out of keeping with the rest of the day - the journey up, the weather, the pub before, the stadium, the performance, the support, it was all perfect apart from the score line. I don't believe in fate, that's bollocks as far as I am concerned but you could be forgiven for thinking ever so briefly that we were just meant to score those two late goals. |

It's called a defining moment Batch. Northampton definitely was one and I think yesterday will prove to be one as well. |

The win just takes all the pressure off the players, the board and the manager. Hopefully Kev can properly get to work this week and results will carry on in a positive fashion.

Only my second away game of the season (first was Walsall) so 100% record maintained and hope to be going to Brentford as well. Seems like I was drinking in the Greyhound before the game with the Flash and Victor Mildrew and a lot of TEF members without knowing it. Lovely real ale pub and the Golden Glory ale was gorgeous. Apt name for our performance really. Great day out on and off the pitch.

I sensed after the Bury/Preston games a lot of fans, myself included, thought the game might be up for us this season - this result/performance has got everybody's confidence back
Those people made me sick. |

How many do you think we'll take to Brentford? Allocation is 1800.

I had to check this season against 2009/10 under Wilson. Two league tables: From today - after 35 games From 13/03/2010 - after 35 games in 2009/10 I think you're right. We're definitely better placed at this stage than we were then. Norwich were well away by that point 3 years ago...but no one is pulling away this year. Yet. Interesting...it certainly looks a whole lot better this season, but appearances can be deceptive....look at this table 5 games later... From05/04/2010 Tight for 2nd, on paper an easier run in that year, but we came up just short...don't think it be much different this year, nmaely 3 or 4 teams went to the last game still in with a shout for automatic. Don't want to consider PO's. |

Let me guess, 1800 I've been to a couple of games at Brentford where we've taken way, way more than our allocation in fairness. |

My son and I were comparing it to that match as we walked back to the car yesterday - obviously not the only ones to think it.... |

what a day , my head is pounding and ive lost my voice , but it was worth it . Like others i didnt even know who scored the 2nd until we got back to the car , spoke to some cov fans on way back and they said we deserved to win and were very gracious in defeat. The only trouble i saw was 2 swindon fans having a go at each other at half time , with one threatening to stab the other . It was quite funny and pathetic actually as i knew one of the twats.
Also what a great journey through the cotswolds , stopped of in a few pubs on the way back , great day .Well done everyone
