    Luton 1-1 Coventry

    Luton fans feel like they've lost to an extent, as they've gone from ultra high to back down to earth with that call...

    Luke Berry gets clobbered and it's a free-kick for the Hatters. One last dig.

    Wow! What a deafening noise to greet that disallowed Luton goal.

    The two goal roars earlier were loud enough - but a noise like that really should not be allowed in public.

    I spilt my Diet Coke!

    Having been denied Luton haven't put the cue in the rack.

    Carlton Morris though unable to deliver.

    Everyone knows penalties are coming. Slightly sickening way to decide a game which has been so tight.

    I’m speechless.

    It’s got to be Coventry’s game hasn’t it!

    Nobody saw that handball and nobody protested.

    If we can put the ball in the back of the net four times today we can do it again.

    NO GOAL LUTON!

    Joe Taylor pinches the ball from Jonathan Panzo for Luton after a terrible touch, and slots it beyond Ben Wilson.

    However, it touched his hand which helped him control it, and the Luton man is denied.

    Relief for Panzo, who looked so disconsolate I almost wanted to cry. Like Don Fox and Eddie Waring's 'Poor lad'.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 115 mins

    Luton 1-1 Coventry

    Coventry defender Callum Doyle, play-off winner last year with Sunderland, is replaced by Jonathan Panzo.

    Formal confirmation.

    Callum Doyle stays down for Coventry, clutching a hamstring with a grimace on his face.

    Jonathan Panzo is sorting his shinnies out and should replace him shortly...

    A big injection of noise from the Sky Blue army in the second half of extra time as they start to through their songbook repertoire again.

    Can they give Cov that final injection of something to get them over the line?

    Nobody will want this to get to pennos.

    Carlton Morris is certainly not too tired to rage at referee Michael Oliver as a decision goes against Luton.

    Needs to retain his energy.

    Meanwhile, Gabe Osho painfully creaks to the side line to be replaced by Dan Potts. Pickle juice mate, pickle juice.

    There's almost a lost, bewildered look to Mark Robins and Rob Edwards now. They've done all they can. In a sense, gameplans mean nothing.

    It's a test of will, character and heart. And both sides are showing it.

    Ethan Horvath takes in the ball after Liam Kelly's flick. Danger over for Luton.

    He doesn't look comfortable though.

    Viktor Gyokeres has come alive in extra time having had a quiet afternoon, and his energy wins Coventry a corner.

    His cross headed behind...

    Ethan Horvath - Luton's on-loan goalkeeper - is carrying on by the way.

    He was a sub for Forest last year as Brice Samba went off.

    Can someone be a match-winner for us?

    It’s also important to not get caught when we are attacking.

    Luton have made a change with Joe Taylor replacing Elijah Adebayo.

    The Hatters will defend initially, Sky Blues kick-off.

    I'm sure both managers will be working out who they want to be on the field for penalty kicks.

    The players are all out on their feet at the moment. It's a very tough ask this, for your body and mentally.

    It’s anybody’s game.

    I think Coventry just edged that period.

    Don’t give Luton anything.

    Muscles are being desperately worked on by physios, as cramp and tweaks and niggles set-in.

    Luton keeper Ethan Horvath has been OK to continue, Hatters fans will be pleased to hear.

    Lactic acid is the enemy now. What's another 15 minutes in a 49-game season eh? Bring it on.

    Half-time in extra time. That's it.
