Ben Fisher was at Wembley this evening. His verdict is in, and here it is. Congratulations to Luton, commiserations to Coventry, and best wishes for a speedy recovery to Tom Lockyer. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
Coventry boss Mark Robins speaks to Sky. “This is about Luton now … congratulations to them and their supporters, they have been brilliant all season … they gave us a really tough start to the game in the first half, we didn’t get anywhere near the levels we’ve been used to … credit to them for that … second half we played much better … they were starting to rock, you could feel it … we tried to win the game in normal time with Kasey [Palmer] knowing he’s not got a great deal in the tank … maybe he’s able to get us over the line but that didn’t occur … we gave everything we could … I’ve got no complaints with the efforts … this has to be fuel for us to move forward … it takes feeling like this from time to time to make the good times feel better … while there’s pain now, we have to acknowledge that it’s been a magnificent effort from everybody … we’ve lost one game in 20 … there’s no shame in that … we had no Gus [Hamer], Kasey Palmer or Callum Doyle on the pitch and we were starting to run-out of recognised penalty takers … Fankaty [Dabo] showed the guts, determination and bravery to step up in front of their supporters … but it’s about Luton, congratulations to them.”
