I'm gutted still, after a god awful few years with covid and Pullis etc I thought this was our time, even managed to get Blur tickets for the warm up show in Newcastle the day after the final which would have been an amazing weekend.
Deep down I know we are on the right track with Carrick and I know next year will be special but it was there for the taking. Beat Cov and Luton and you're in the Premier League. If it was only that simple.
I think Carrick will look back on last night and think he could have influenced the game a bit more, Me personally would have brought Djaksteel and Jones on at half time and tried to get behind them more, The longer it went on I felt we was losing grip on it. The lack of a plan B was apparent. I sense Carrick like AK will make plan A that good you won't need plan B. It was like chess and Coventry was our Kryptonite. Ramsey and Howson was a massive miss and like some have said we have a very unbalanced squad which will be changed in the summer. I don't think the last 4/5 games helped which affected our attacking fluideity but I would have made the same changes in them games so can't complain.
Big summer ahead and we will get some players who are more suited to our style. UTB and roll on next season
