[AFCCOVENTRY]

Come on be clinical

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Sunderland have come for a 0-0, or to snatch a fluke on the break.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Can see 1st leg being another 0-0. Sunderland parking the bus and countering to avoid conceding, in the hope they can sneak it under their own lights in the 2nd leg.

Called it That said, we're still creating chances so feel like we'll break them.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Come on lads

 

[Sick Boy]

Not sure dropping Simms was the correct decision at this point.

 

[Chris1987]

So Evo
Are we missing Simms ?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I think Sunderland might tire over the course of the game. Their conditioning might be off as they have not played intensely for several weeks now.

 

[Seymour_East]

No man up front on an opponent’s corner continues to be stupid

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Should have been a yellow

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Should have been a yellow

For who?

 

[pusbccfc]

Sunderland playing like the small town they are

 

[Nick]

Fake injury team talk

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Pussy Ballard

 

[jordan210]

Fake injury time

 

[robbiekeane]

Any connections with the Pope? We could do with some divine inspiration.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

don’t let Sunderland back in

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

All this possession and no decisive final ball in the box

 

[Paul Anthony]

That's a dive, should be booked.

 

[Chris1987]

BTA utterly ineffective so far

 

[Great_Expectations]

We struggle massively against a low block.

 

[Seymour_East]

BTA utterly ineffective so far

Yes, strange not to start with same 11 as last time

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Grimes has done exceptionally well there covering

 

[SIR ERNIE]

For all his faults, we're missing Simms.

Focal point of the attack.

 

[Great_Expectations]

They’re all targeting Wright and not convinced he’s giving it back yet.

 

[fernandopartridge]

They will be far happier than we should be at this point

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Would love it for grimes to be in PL

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

They will be far happier than we should be at this point

The Red wall

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

How do Sunderland expect to compete in the EPL if they're too scared to even attack us?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Does anyone else think we should maybe try NOT doing a long throw every now and then? Just feel they've gotten too predictable now, need to try mixing it up.

 

[Chris1987]

Had Frank been listening to Evo re Simms ?
Massive error

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

One before half time come on boys

 

[pusbccfc]

I'd put life savings on a Sunderland player going down when we cross the ball in.

 

[Evo1883]

Had Frank been listening to Evo re Simms ?
Massive error

What do you believe would be different with ellis ? They've got 10 men behind the ball in 2 banks of 4

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Frustrating so far. Hate to say their gameplan is working.

 

[Nick]

Never a foul
