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

Can Roberts or ELF defend tho. thats the question , still have nightmares about the Luton play second leg to go with that line up.

 

I think Seelt has been struggling to get 100% fit. Shame as he's looked really good.

 

Good website to view it through:

With Abdullahi's reappearance...

Remember his hattrick

I don’t mind it but would prefer Mayenda in for Roberts.

But with Roberts and ELF playing they’re likely to look for the through balls to Isidor whilst we keep the game time. Avoid defeat

 

Will probably be our only outlet so it’s another massive gamble. Isidor really needs to be on his bike every time he turn over possession, but to be fair to him at the start of the season he was.. but both Rigg and Jobes first thought when they get the ball is head down and run.

 

I like this team but there's no way we experiment with it for the first time in the playoffs . Would have been nice to try it out in one of these last few meaningless games, but we didn't have the players fit for it. Not a knock on RLB, just unfortunate.

 

Agree. I think the formation will evolved during games and be different in the final if we get there. I think we'll keep the back four though.

 

QPR managed e-tickets, no reason Coventry couldn't have done the same.

My advice would be to arrive early, I have a suspicion the ticket office will deliberately delay people getting.

 

Didn't realise they set off so soon... 2ish day before. Don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight without beer...

Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads

 

Tbf I wish it was just one game, hate two legs me

 

I’m just glad we got the second leg at home. Shame it wasn’t a Friday night match like!

 

The worst part is I can’t even watch the match tomorrow, I’m out elsewhere.

I’m going to tell everyone I’m out with not to even mention the match to me and try my best to ignore updates until full time I think. Will be less stressful if I just see the result and be quickly done with it.

 

Looks class that like!

 

Ballard has to play imo.

 

Great to see Huggins back playing
