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

Bloody hell. Bollocks on him if so.

 

Looks like it is Roberts and Elf out wide to me , not the best choice if so , but still HTL lets get a result and spoil the Sky love in.

 

Gordon Armstrong and Darren Williams on SAFC live

 

Thought the echo said Mundle might have made the bench. Well he didn’t.

Don’t think we will see him until the final and even then it will be as a sub

 

are they showing the match?

 

Not gonna lie...I'm ****ting more bricks than Ibstocks!

 

I agree mate, but if we are playing 2 up top less pressure on the wide men to have pace. I think we will see a front 4 with rotation galore.

 

That's not quite how I heard it mind, though I might be mistaken.

He said "In a way, yes" but we still need the midfield 3 we will just play that differently with Eli than we would with Riggy.

I'm guessing he's got license to get forward more but will be in midfield as a starting position.

 

You would think so. They usually do. Broadcasting from Quinn's bar atm

 

I still think we might see Mayenda dropping in to the “Rigg” role rather than a straight 4-4-2

 

It’s pretty much a 442 he just means Eli will be dropping deeper than Isidor to become almost like a third midfielder. Won’t be as deep as Rigg usually does though I don’t reckon

 

Great thread as usual @RTB, and a great read through. Just two more mate, two more.

I went for a draw on the predictor, but I'm changing it to a sneaky 2 - 1 win to the lads, cos I'm in a bloody good mood.

Mayenda and Isidor with the goals, and ELF and Jobe pulling the strings.

Ha'Way me Bonny Lads.

 

Ha this crossed. If that’s what the said then yeh - Mayenda is playing the Rigg role and it’s the same shape as normal. Which I’m happy with

 

I wasnt sure if they could with it being on Sky, will have a look in about 10 minutes, not sure I can cope with sky ****ing over Frank

 

no as it on sky main channel

 

Haaaway the lads!

 

3 pints, then steak chips and red wine finished...

Checked the team sheet

Wow, just wow

Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads

 

Christ, I’d avoided the prematch sky guff until just now, they do hate us don’t they

 

I hope Mayenda will be LF and ELF as a 10

 

always the same
