A very cagey game so far. I fancy Coventry might nick a late one goal advantage. Sunderland have hardly broken out of their own half and seem content to soak up pressure.
Sunderland fielded the youngest squad in the Championship this season. They're only likely to improve. Mind you so should we with the likes of Eom and Franco having bedded inLooks like an all red-and-white-stripes final then.
I always think it just feels fairer when the 3rd and 4th place teams make the final. Especially this season, SU and Sunderland were miles ahead of the other two.
I'd prefer to see SU go up because they'll be more of a pain in the arse next season, Sunderland don't strike me as a team that would go this well again next season, this is their big chance imho.
For me this is an unintended consequence of VAR.Shocking decision by the lino for the Orient goal.
Got to agree.If Sheffield United think Darling will be any use to them in the Premier league they're dafter than I thought.
For me this is an unintended consequence of VAR.
I've noticed it a lot these days, linos are less inclined to put their flag up because they think oh it's ok, VAR will bail me out if I'm wrong. Which is all well and good, but if it's not there....
I have a degree of sympathy with refs because it must be difficult to get out of one mindset and into another depending on whether or not there's a camera there to bail you out. Surely they can't enjoy it.
Another reason to bin VAR for me.
