Play-offs

[A4Jack]

Watching Coventry is boring. Few chances created, all very safe and backwards.

Bit like watching us pre January.

I wonder why.

Coventry had the better of that half. Sunderland are playing the same tactics as the first leg, defending deep and trying to hit them on the break. They've been pretty poor at it so far though.
There may be more opportunity as the game progresses, because Coventry will have to take more chances, but I wouldn't like to call this one.

I get the feeling Coventry will get an equaliser and it’ll go to ET

I see nothing in either of these sides that says to me they'll worry Sheffield United in the final. Coventry look blunt up front, and Sunderland can't string a pass together.

This division is piss poor, let's be honest.

Imagine one of these two in the PL. Unbelievable Jeff. Coventry one shot on target 64% of possession, Grimesy statting gloriously. The ghost of Swansea past.

Wish we had Hummel kits again

All white with the black Hummel arrows down the arms and shorts looks very classy

That's been coming for 20 minutes. The Sunderland manager is a coward.

"Sunderland are having an inquest" says the commentator after Coventry's goal.

Not being funny, but they've played like an away team at home, when you do that you always risk it backfiring. Serves them right.

 

[Bluenile]

Can see Coventry getting another before 90 mins.

Just like the Wurzels, what are Sunderland doing in the play offs? They are a shambles of a football team.

It just goes to prove that if you get a good start to the season - and they did - you can sort of just linger in the playoff positions and stay there, even if you fall off a cliff in the second half of the season.

Fair play, what a miserable bunch of fans.

Coventry lost two of their last three to almost fuck up getting into the playoffs, but Sunderland lost their last 5 games! Amazing they beat Coventry in the first leg given their form.

They lost their last five of the regular season and only scored one in the last six. That’s terrible form by any measure.

If Sunderland don't get through this tie somehow, their coach will be very close to the sack. Scarily reminiscent of Steve Cooper, tonight's performance is.
