Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May (17 Viewers)

torchomatic · May 9, 2025

Just had a quick look at their forum. Range of views from us thrashing them to them thrashing us.

What I don't get though is many posts say we deserve to lose because of our "over confidence". Have we been over confident? Have we really made the impression that we just need to turn up to win. I don't think we have at all.

I'm nervous and I wouldn't be surprised at a win or a defeat. Hoping for a two-nil though, which would do us nicely for Tuesday night.

EMC for Simms surely?

More like EMC on the bench, I would think. Would be mad to put him straight back in the team for such a vital game.

Fair point. BTA for Simms then? Or just nothing and someone made it up?

You be will be lucky - unless they release it worldwide as it’s the Beeb and they hate people listening to football commentary around the world but it will be on TalkSPORT online

Do you have a Now TV access or do you pop prefer the tension on the radio?

No cov fan in their right mind thinks we just have to turn up. We just got our arses handed to us by every dogshit team fighting relegation.

The Wembley again stuff can come across as a bit arrogant to others but it's more an ode to the unreal run of the Robins years.

We have reasons to be confident and to predict a win tonight if we turn up. But they are a good side and anything can happen. I fancy us to edge it over two legs but if they turn up and we put in a Derby/Plymouth performance anything can happen.

Yup. It's just about all over, but imagine if Bristol scored in the first 5 mins. Then it could get interesting

Maybe for the first 10 minutes

Think you’ll find it blocked, league games usually are. You might be able to listen through iFollow on the club website but you’ll have to pay.

Nothing (not even audio) showing on ifollow
I emailed the club and they say the full game replay will be on as usual

Never them is it

Of course Sunderland supporters argue amongst themselves, all forums are the same.

My point was that a Mag is scouring Sunderland forums to gather quotes about the amount of tickets we've sold and making it sound like Civil War has broken out. They turn up in the home sections, of our away games, with Newcastle shirts under their jackets just as they did at Coventry.

And the poster RobRoy who came on here was a Mag, I'd put money on it.

As soon as I showed up he suddenly stopped posting.

Anyway, it's match time so I'll leave you to enjoy the game, hopefully a great night with better football than Bristol and Sheffield managed.

Take care.

Well I heard a lovely rumour,
That we'd signed Donnarumma,
So gleefully I went to tell my freinds

But they said that rumour's phoney
And we're starting with Rudoni
And by the way has he got goals for you
