    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May

    The great thing about tomorrow is, there is hardly any pressure on us at all. We can be a lot more relaxed in some ways. The expectation now is that Sunderland finish the job, so we do have a bit of a free shot at this one. I am so much more chilled about it. We don't go through, it's still...

    Referee

    Can only think the linesman thought the Stockport defender headed the ball, rather than the Orient forward.

    Nuts, if true Leave the poor bloke alone. He must be feeling really down about it anyway. It happens to the very best of players. It was his fault for one the goals against Plymouth too, but he's been one of our best players and like you say, he has contributed so much more in terms of...

    Exactly that. There will be an expectancy from them and no expectancy from ourselves. And we did only lose to a terrible backpass. We have to remember that. I fancy our chances still.

    Yeah, but then they did get lucky on a few occasions too. Their keeper's dreadful mistake wasn't punished. Sheaf clearly should have scored. He was completely unmarked and about 8 yards out. Then there was the one that was pinging around their box on the first half, where the ball could have...

    We drop him though and put in the striker who hasn't scored since 15th Feb? Who is the one striker who can pretty much win a game all by himself? It's Wright. I am sure we will see a better Wright on Tuesday. If not, he's off. But if Simms plays, I think you have to play Wright too. BTA...

    The one change for me would be Simms for BTA.

    He Got caught in possession a few times. I don't think he was awful, but his game was error-riddled

    Yeah and I meant replacing our strikers with better ones. That what I meant by they are not ten a penny.

    Going to be difficult though to find 3 good strikers. I do think FL will play it relatively safe and may keep Simms. We're not going to get any great offers for him in, are we.

    Yeah, the "didn't turn up" is a nonsense really isn't it. We totally controlled the game, but just found it really hard to break down their defence. We did have some very good opportunities though. That Sheaf one was a shocker. In fact, whoever he signs his next contract with, I think he has...

    I would keep Bassette to be honest. Send him out on loan to a L1 side and see how he gets on. I really like Wright, but he can't carrying being this inconsistent. It's damaging to the team and if Simms is hardly scoring at all, he is a burden to us as well. Can we afford to lose all 3 though...

    It would be insane to drop Wright. So, drop Wright and put in the goal machine that is Simms? The player that hasn't scored since the 15th Feb? The sensible answer is to replace BTA with Simms. You keep your top striker in. Wright wasn't as much of a threat last night, for sure, but right...

    Video Frank Lampard and Matt Grimes reflect on Coventry City's defeat against Sunderland 🎙️

    I agree with a lot of what Lampard said there. I don't think we played badly at all. It was just really frustrating in our struggling to break them down. They were just determined to sit back.

    I don't think Wright has been the same since we put those reciprocal tariffs on him

    Which just leaves us with bribery, or at least 6 teams getting points deductions for breaking the rules

    If we score first, it's back to even stevens. I think they may well change taxt, because their fans will start to get on their back. We only have to win 1-0 for it to go to extra time. We are still in with a very good chance.
