Match Day Thread Coventry City v Sunderland AFC – Play-off Semi Final 1st Leg - Friday 9th May 2025 - KO 20:00

I also loved hope animated Regis was in the touchline. Such a different energy and purpose to the whole team tonight.

****ing loved that. Halfway there

 

I fecking hope so

 

Still no idea

 

Plenty of time to calm down tomorrow marra, enjoy it Tonight

 

Living on a prayer!

 

I'm crediting ELF with one and a half assists

 

I don’t mean to argue, I’m genuinely interested, as I’ve not been in the thread tonight. Why are you still not happy with the tactics? They worked.

I understand not being happy with the tactics when they don’t work, but when they’ve worked, why would you wish that result away by suggesting we should have played differently?

 

Been giving most safc social media a swerve the past week or two. Partly the stress of it all and partly just swerving the fume. That was a performance to be proud of though. Absolute pure grit and determination. However this season ends, the club deserve our backing and a bit praise for a great season. It’s natural for us to be caught up in results and it will sting like **** if we miss out this season - particularly in the moment. However hopefully when the dust settles whatever the outcome, the fans will appreciate that these players, this manager, this club have put plenty of credit in the bank. Enjoy your evening lads.

Dan bloody Ballard!!

 

He has, in a typically romantic french way however

 

Coventry will be better second leg. 100%. If we play our best we’ll be at Wembley, keep the faith.

 

Good night

 

Got to say that giving the lads the end of the season off was a good call, no injuries picked up and clearly he knew we can switch it on when required. This group of players and this coach can pull it out of the bag when it matters, there's no fear in them.

 

Tactics were perfect.

 

Coventry HAVE to come at us in the second leg. Stay strong at the back and then pick them off

 

cheers again RTB...

half way there lads...not sure exactly what went right the neet but i have been convincing myself that the past few games have all been part of a RLB master plan, a different kind of game played down there, much less of playing it out and about and plenty of long kicks from patto.

two good goals from the lads, especially happy for wilson, he needed that.

going with the MotM call of dan ballard with a brilliant performance back in defence but most can be in with a shout.

officials, think the ref balanced things out across the game although i thought he was being a little petty on a couple of calls.

 

Actually yeh fair play to the ref that was one of the better refereeing performances in ages

 

Will they though? Much more desperate which often works against you.

They had all of the ball and scored their only chance! We had little of it and had the best chances of the game, and I include Roberts’ chance in that

 

Well done RLB and all the team…

 

I’m not going to sleep for hours and hours.
