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

Way way too deep. Sorry, but asking for bother

 

Aye, it's ****e. You can't defend for 90 minutes and not give away a few chances. Then it's relying on the oppo team wasting the chance!

 

Got to be better than this

 

At last ref giving us something

 

I’d have taken this 40 mins all day pre match personally.

They haven’t shown anything g we have stood up well. Little going forward but we’ve stood tall here.

They were always having the bulk of the ball.

 

Well worked free kick that. Piss poor from Roberts. Is that twice he’s fluffed a simple ball for the overlapv

 

So has everyteam every week recently, why? Is it the tactic?

 

Not a lot of contact! Andy Hinchcliffe is literally stealing a living! Idiot!

 

What the **** was Hinchcliffe on about? It was a blatant foul by Grimes on Le Feé.

 

They did at the start of the season too when we were winning every week.

 

Sitting to deep, and no push on them, we look **** scared

 

Hinchliffe used to always talk us up until we beat Sheff Wed in the semi.

Ever since he’s had a chow about us. He can suck my pods.

 

I was expecting them to have most of the ball but they’ve had 80% of it. Clearly out game play but their midfield is absolutely better than ours imo - still thought we’d have a bit more of the ball than we have, I’m not sure we can go from playing so deep under the cosh away from home then expect to dominate at home.

 

Aye, we were a bit more dangerous in the break then though. Looked lost going forward for a few weeks. Hopefully changes today!

 

Didn’t see 0-0 at ht

 

Can’t watch it any quick summary is appreciated

 

I would take that at half time. Isidor looks out off sorts for me

Feel like this is classic RLB but in over drive

it’s not being helped by a bit of sloppiness when we do get it mind, Robert’s kicking it out of play after the free kick is so egregious man, elf is never on that overlap.

it’s one thing playing like we are but we must be more economically with the ball when we get it

I’d have taken a rogue Robert’s shot over what he did

 

Happy with that half, they've had a lot of the ball but done nothing with it. First 15 mins 2nd half we have to be switched on. Get past that and we'll win this

 

Okay. 45 mins done. No dramas. Cov crowd down. Stick or bust? Think there is a win here for us, if we are brave. Watson for Le Fee and it changes our dynamic.
