See you on the sidelines. Let’s bring the noise.

MATCHDAY 🦁

Second to last game of the season. Home. Under the lights of The Place. Everything still to play for.
Coventry Phoenix came to their ground earlier this season and got the better of us. Today is different. Today is our turf, our crowd, our moment.

The title race goes to the wire. The cup final is still to come. This group has unfinished business and every single one of us knows it.

Three points. Nothing else matters today.

Let’s go to work. 🔴⚫

NEXT MATCH | AFC COVENTRY vs COVENTRY PHOENIX FC

We’ve been quiet. We’ve been working. 🦁

Sorry for the silence on here - the focus has been on the pitch and that’s exactly where it needed to be. But we’re back, and we’ve got a big one to talk about.

Saturday. Home. Coventry Phoenix.

Phoenix earlier in the season beat us - that result has sat with us ever since. They are a well organised, dangerous side and they will come to The Place with nothing to lose. We respect that. But this is our home, and we have everything to play for.

Two league games left. The title race is going to the wire. Every minute, every tackle, every chance counts. We treat this exactly the same as we have treated every game this season - like a cup final.

And then there’s the actual cup final still to come. This group has a chance to make 2 trophies this season. Empty handed is not an option.

Come down Saturday and roar us on. The Lions need you. 🦁❤️

MAN OF THE MATCH | BADRU RAJAB 🏅

1 goals. 3 assists. In a 7-0 win.

On his day, there is nobody in this league that can live with him. And today was very much his day.

Badru joined this club as a teenager and week by week, month by month, he has grown into exactly the player we knew he could be. Hard working, relentless, never gives a defender a moment’s rest. 21 appearances this season. 12 goals. 12 assists. Numbers that speak for themselves - but anyone who watches him week in week out knows the stats only tell half the story.

Arguably his best performance in an AFC Coventry shirt. And the best part? He is only getting started.
One of the first names on the team sheet. One of our own. 🦁

FULL TIME | AFC COVENTRY 7-0 BRINKLOW FC
That’s how we do it. 🦁

Injuries in the camp, players carrying knocks and we still put seven past them without taking our foot off the gas for a single minute. That is the character of this squad. Whoever pulls on the shirt grafts, fights, and bleeds AFC Coventry. No excuses, no drop in intensity. Just football.
Spectacular goals, relentless pressing, and a performance that sent a message to everyone watching the table.

🏅 Man of the Match: Badru Rajab - what a player. 1 BANNGER and three assists. Everywhere on that pitch, and impossible to stop.

Three more points. Two games to go. The Lions are not done yet.

🦁❤️ GrassrootsFootball

Top of the table. But we haven’t won a thing yet.

This group knows better than anyone what it feels like to be in this position and come away empty handed. Runners up. Lost finals. So close, so many times. That hurt lives with us - and it drives us every single week.
We have a free weekend while the rest of the league goes to work around us. We watch, we rest, and we come back sharper ready travel away to Coventry Copsewood FC on the 28th. Four games remain and every single one gets treated the same - like a cup final.

No celebrations. No looking ahead. Just the next three points.

The job isn’t done until it’s done. 🦁

🏆

FULL TIME | AFC COVENTRY 1-0 FOLLY LANE

Job done. Three more points in the bag.

A 1-0 scoreline that tells only half the story. The first half was a battle - we soaked the pressure, stayed organised, and kept our shape. Second half? All one direction. We were relentless, we were clinical, and they simply could not live with us. Their keeper was outstanding - pulling off save after save, denying us in one-on-ones, keeping them in it far longer than they deserved. On another day this is a very different scoreline. They even had a penalty to get back into it and couldn’t take it.

But that’s football. We take the clean sheet, we take the three points, and we move on.

Habib Balogun with the goal that mattered. Badru Rajab our Man of the Match. The whole squad should be proud - but we know it’s not job done. Four league games remain and we treat every single one the same way.

Head down. Stay hungry. Next one.
