Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Coventry City – Play-off Semi Final 2nd leg Tuesday 13th May 2025 - KO 20:00

Well... I thought I was calm, now the nerves are slowly creeping back in ffs

 

Brilliant Smug, cheers for posting

 

Just watched this, then the lad text to say he's done well in his first exam

Tears are flowing

Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads

 

I'm proper nervous for some reason, I'm going to be a wreck tomorrow!

 

Emotional day mate. My 16 year old had English GCSE today. Then come on here, I'm nervous and Emotional now.

 

Same. Monkwearmouth?

 

Oh no mate. The sunny East Manchester.

 

Just seen your Manchester bio... good luck to yours for the rest of their exams. Ours go on until the 2nd week of June

 

They did , but I think very few used the word impossible but I might be totally wrong, its not a sin you know.

 

Our bus doesn't get to Sunderland till about 6.30, thinking it will be better to get straight to the ground as everywhere will be heaving and I don't want to miss the build up

 

Similar for me, would normally go straight to the pub but not tomorrow.

 

Typically I'm on call tomorrow, arranged cover for the match and also for the bairns so hoping to get there for 6ish. No beers though.

Well maybe 1...

 

I know it’s not the right place for this but as I’ve said can’t make tomorrow and wanted to give me ticket to someone but it had been added to me season card went to the ticket office this morning must have been a queue of 40 odd folk,went back at 11.30 walked straight in and the staff could not of been more helpful when I said I couldn’t make it the bloke in the next window offered to buy it unfortunately for him it was already ear marked for someone had a small fee to pay for getting the ticket printed off.over the moon with the service.
Oh and found out you can get a plastic card this season from June time £15 charge sorry if I’ve gone off track

 

Thanks for posting mate , A/E is my fav match analisist, watched the 90 minutes again last night with Frankie and Danny ,as I had most of the game on Sky with the mute button firmly on, seems I got it right for once , our worst critics are ex players for some reason or other , heros turn to villans.. My voice box is slowly recovering for tommorrow night, ex Roker Park st.yle

 

Just got my voice back from Friday night.
Ready for the 10:30 train tomorrow

 

RLB:
Mundle ready, Alese next week
We did well the teamwork was impressive
We were really efficient, they were strong but we didn't concede many situations, and we knew with the threats of our forwards we could cause damage - and that was the case.
When you are not 100% ready sometimes you can't show on the pitch, we showed that we were committed for this game.
It's just half time we are aware that nothing is done yet
Rigg and Mepham were disappointed not to play but they were very supportive and connected
Our fans at Coventry were very good, we expect the same at the SoL. We need their support
It shows that we are living a different moment and the team and the region deserve it
We need every positive vibe to be connected. We need to finish the 2 legs and see if we are the winner or not. They are a good team and will try something else to beat us
It was clear that the team have switched on, this experience from last time is really important
Maybe one creative player can create a chance, we have to be ready for the fight
It is always possible to have a different view of the season, we earned the 4th place early, when you lose there is criticism but the season is reset
They are dangerous and I expect a better version and we are ready to adapt
We have to win this game, start with the same mindset, be proactive and the same idea
There is no reason to be disconnected - Til the end we will fight
The season has been long and it's difficult to maintain consistency with a young squad. We have to finish the work.
They will try to score, we have to be ready. Football is unpredictable, we have to have no regrets
We have a good balance in the squad

 

Mundleeee

 

Must
Stay
calm
