Just fuck off back to RTG please
Just fuck off back to RTG pleaseTo be fair Sunderland wouldn't play like that in a final, it was a specific situation to counter Lampard's tactics.
Ballard came in to cope with all the crosses and long throw ins and we played two quick strikers to keep your back line under pressure.
When we played Sheff Utd last time we had twice as many shots on target, and won, so we know we can compete.
In any case it might be Coventry playing them, we were 2-0 up last time and f*cked it up
100% and it was by design. They set up to allow us to have the ball, sit in a mid block and then try to pick us off on the counter. We didn't create much with that possession.We dominated possession, we didn't dominate them. The game went to plan for them.
We dominated possession against Derby, Plymouth and even to a lesser extent Sheff U yet we lost all 4 games.

Possession means nothing. As I said earlier our xG was 1.5 compared to Sunderlands 1.4. even if you take off Milan's gift, it was 1.5 Vs 1. That's not dominating.
Think I should add thats momentumView attachment 43096
fucking hell didnt realise we dominated them for the 90 that much makes it even more annoying we handed them the advantage
FL showed on this occasion he was tactically inept.
I came on to offer any info or advice to decent Coventry supporters coming to the SOL, you can just ignore me.Just fuck off back to RTG please.
We've got a lot of players who I would not be confident are going to score if they stepped up to take a pen. Hopefully they're more confident than I am!Who takes pens?
Haji obviously.
Rudi, Grimes…?
Wright has been fucking terrible

We lost on penaltiesHappens to everyone. I mean under our previous manager we went out and utterly shit the bed in the biggest game in the clubs history. Luton should have had it wrapped up by half time

Dovin definitely saves the first - that injury really has fucked us
Agree we need to find a way to play through the lines more - do think its a personnel issue though
we'd rather you fucked off nowI came on to offer any info or advice to decent Coventry supporters coming to the SOL, you can just ignore me.
Are you the spokesman for your entire board like ... or just think you are?we'd rather you fucked off now
We’d have been much better off if we’d sacked him and paid him and his backroom staff off after 10 games.Tank u Frank for saving us from the horrors of the last seven years.
We would still be in the play offs surely even if we did that?We’d have been much better off if we’d sacked him and paid him and his backroom staff off after 10 games.
I highly doubt it, we wouldn’t have signed Grimes for start with.We would still be in the play offs surely even if we did that?
Ignore me, I thought you were inferring we'd be better off if we sacked Robins 10 games earlierI highly doubt it, we wouldn’t have signed Grimes for start with.
Trying not to be negative but if we really want to make this style work, we really need to sign and out and out target forward to Give us a outlet upfront and to get on the end of our crosses
But you can Wright? He looks like he’s planning to leave in the summer and protecting himselfWright is exactly the same size as Simms isnt he? Simms needs to do more, you can't keep rewarding his nothing performances with starts.
If we win the tie I’ll eat my hat. And I don’t own a hat.This isn’t over yet

Should still have been 1-1 and maybe betterI feared Sunderland would turn up and just defend and they did. And once again we did the thing that has failed all season even against the poorest teams in the division - AAATB, take ages to make any attempt to break them down and when a shooting/crossing chance comes in more often than not don't take it and knock the ball back to the full back. The we fuck up at the back or have a GK error and they win. Depressingly familiar and predictable.
Grimes is very good in tight situations but he was playing way too deep against a team that was sitting in - he needed to be another 10 yards up the pitch so he could have more of an impact. Once of those games where they look impressive but only because they're taking easy options.
Crowd was a bit quieter than normal, so I guess nerves played a part.
Also, many I saw it wrong but I expected to come on here and see people livid about Sakamoto being hauled/hacked down twice in the first half and their player only getting booked for one of them. I was sure the player that pulled him back after about 10 mins (which should have been a yellow) was the same one that went through him about 10 mins later. Did I see it wrong?
We set up completely wrong for the tactics Sunderland employed and the bench did nothing to try and rectify that.
Yeah, when I watched it back and didn’t realise how far out he was. He should have turned and pumped it down the line but that’s obviously in hindsight.On replay have the say think MVE was way too far out to attempt the back pass to the keeper so was a poor decision to attempt in the fist place, he's nearly at the half way line when he plays it.
This is not breaking news.On replay have the say think MVE was way too far out to attempt the back pass to the keeper so was a poor decision to attempt in the fist place, he's nearly at the half way line when he plays it.
Heard a lot of people say the mistake was the poor execution of the back pass, think the decision to attempt the pass was the bigger mistakeThis is not breaking news.
