8:00 pm kick off, game will finish about 10 pm, train leaves Coventry station 10,40pm.

Is that an enough time to get to the station.

I don’t think we should underestimate just how beneficial the experience of playing at Wembley last season could be if we get there again.

Big ask to get there, but most of our players have been there at least once recently. Loads been twice, play offs against Luton and Man U semi final. Barnsley boys in play offs with them.
If we make it, think it will be Bidders fifth visit. Brentford, Swansea, twice with us so far?

You're best getting the shuttle bus back to the station (free with your match ticket) that goes from the other side of Tesco at full time.

Absolutely under no circumstances should they get the shuttle bus, if they want to get anywhere within a reasonable amount of time. Taken it the last few weeks, and it's been brilliant on way out and awful on way back.

Do you know roughly how long the journey takes to the train station?
Click to expand...

If you're lucky it will turn up at half 10, you'll be far enough forward in the queue to squeeze on to a rammed bus, and it will only sit around for 15 minutes waiting for nothing. Then it will take about 20-30 minutes to station.

To be fair there aren’t many alternatives for him unless he can get an Uber on Foleshill Rd or leaves the game early to get the 21.50 train.

Or the route I posted, which will get them there on time as it avoids worst traffic routes. Just needs to walk fast.

Sounds like Le Bris’s tactics are to rely on past performances against Leeds and Burnley months ago! Their form recently is shocking and surely they can’t turn it on and off at will?
We need Simms to be niggling away at O’Nien from the start, the little rat will eventually concede a free kick and whoever gets it should go down, roll around a bit and get him sent off.

That O'Nien is a proper tosser, he's not even a half decent CB and from some posters on the blunderland forum they don't like him either, however RLB won't drop him, they also hate the fact he plays Le Fee out on the left when they want him in the middle just to accommodate Rigg who's been poor for months.

It's his stubbornness to change his formations and keep this slow build up style of football that's pedestrian and that's why they've lost alot of games, I'm like most people I think itll be tough but with our record against them, home advantage and the fact we have quicker players top end of the pitch that can counter quick im confident we can win 2-0 or 3-0.

By the sounds of it he’s been experimenting in this run of defeats with various formations and personnel. Tinkering around with stuff to find something that works.

they already had something that worked, they were very good the start of the season, don’t believe they’ve been resting ready for these games, he’s messed around that much with the team theyv‘e forgotten what works, wouldn’t fancy coming to our place hoping it all clicks back into place again

Tbf if you had asked me before those games I'd have said we have a better chance against Sunderland than any team in the bottom 3. It's cov innit.

If you are leaving a few mins early then the 21.50 train is definitely your best option and you can also get the 22.05 connection to London that way if you have a flexible ticket.

More home vs away. The bottom of this league has closed right up on the middle, there were no real dog shit teams this season and I don't expect there to be next season. It makes sense you'd see lower points tallies make play-offs and higher points tallies required to stay up with this being the case.
All away games are tough and I generally go into them thinking a point is a decent result, some people still seem to think easy away games exist for some reason.
At home is different, we can hammer just about anyone, obviously including Sunderland, so fingers crossed we can do that again before heading there.

I was saying the other day that I'm not sure how much of sunderlands recent results have been because "they're on the beach" as much as they've just been found out tactically.
