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

You're about 12 hours too late for that one - That lad is a Villa fan so fairly neutral.
I am definitely in the Kyle Don video though
- I even spoke to them at half time

 

Would love us to go back in for Adingra but think we’d need to go up to attack him

 

God i want to go up, after last night im convinced our style could be enough to bridge the gap to 17th in the prem with a couple of signings

 

Lampard’s tactics worked once last. I guess they’d have worked more but we were just better at what we can do.

 

Almost shell shocked when the 2nd went in

 

OK my mission is complete, back to the serious stuff
- enjoy

FINE I’ll watch the highlights again

 

Hes unique . His form begs the question of just why he wasn't given a game last year and why Isidor , who I also rate by the way is the preferred starter, only time will tell whether that is sound judgement or not.
Personally I like to see them both on the pitch at the same time, its a devastating combination and could see us go all the way this year with the right set up, we are getting their but far too slowly imo.

 

Also I do hope that once we’ve wrapped things up on Tuesday we bring someone on (maybe Hjelde or Seelt) and get them to put the nut on that rat centre half for Cov. Was a bit worried that Wilson or Mayenda would do it. Let’s find someone a little bit more expendable first, please!

 

Hes the real deal now and was last season imo.

 

What's remarkable about Mayenda's goal, in my opinion, is that he instinctively knew what the defender was thinking ...

... if you watch the goal he's already running onto the 'pass' before it's been kicked.

 

Aye definitely on the move before the pass back

 

I’m watching the full match now since i missed it last night as i fell asleep. Pleased i always record them.

 

No end product? Isn't he near the top if not top for assists for us this season. His goal tally should be better but to say he has no end product isn't true

 

Show me the stats. Dont believe that for 1 minute

 

Just had a look at some vlogs and it seems O'Nien is calming players down after the whistle.

They don't go crazy and over celebrate, just stand and applaud the support.

That's class imo, great result but there's a long way to go.

BTW Coventry realised, last night, they're not as good as they'd made themselves believe.

 

Just watched the full 90 again on the train with very stop start WiFi, didn’t matter, my smile is still fixed, if not even bigger !!

 

Talking about that this morning,forgot if it was onien or Neil doing it,very professional and forward thinking

 

Does have the most assists for us and 9th most in the league, however i feel as if very few came from actual good chance creation. 2 of the 7 were set pieces of which the other 95% of his were poor and 3 of the 7 were just a 5 yard pass where a teammate did most of the work. (although thats from memory so might be off).
