Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May (54 Viewers)

That's us in turmoil now, we have no money from gyokeres or Hamer, we've got dumber and dumber as strikers who can't be assed half the time, and then we've got backwards sideways backwards sideways dictating our game and speed.

Over 2 games we deserve to lose weight was spinless, not a fucking chance we would have beat Sheffield United so it's saves us from that embarrassment instead we've got to listen to the mackens for 10 fucking years.

Scaremongering at it's best

We need a couple of those in our squad.

Yes we do, I've only been saying that for 2 years.

 

[David O'Day]

Learn to spell nonce

gonna threaten to stab me again?

 

[TomRad85]

Blunts better go up. Let's be honest Sunderland were shite and I'd happily face them again next season.

 

[Houchens Head]

We'll be playing Scumderland again next season! No way they'll beat Sheffield United at Wembley!

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Given how the two matches went you would have thought it would be us with the legs and energy in the second half ET

No their plan was to tire us out and hit us on the break. I suspect they'll employ the same tactic against Sheff Utd. Think Hamer alone will rip them a new one.

Sky delighted they got the result they wanted

 

[Jamesimus]

To be fair, he's looked an absolute player.

He looks far more like the on loan from Roma 20 million pound player than Le Fee does.

 

[AngryAnt]

People are slating Wright and usually post heartbreak emotions cloud the judgement.

But I can honestly say Wright has been shambolic the last month of this season. He's failed to control every ball, he's lost every ball, he's been slow, lethargic.

How on earth Lampard left him on I don't think I will ever know

Pretty sure he was only left on the pitch to take a pen. He was pretty useless tonight, every time he went to trap a ball, he'd miss it or give it away.
Agreed that ever since Sunderland in the season he's kinda been on the beach. He's the type of player that 15 or so years ago we'd be fuming at, because him (and simms) have a very lazy style to the game.
Still trying to understand that offside from Grimes today, late contender for one of the worst linesmen flags of the year.

Overall we were the better team over both games and Sunderland didn't deserve it. That said, we'd have been utterly trounced at Wem and believe Sunderland will be too. Going to be an NFL score if the ball lands kindly for Sheffield.

When Lampard took over I told friends that the minimum was the play offs as I firmly believed Robins would have turned it around and we'd have finished at least 10th, so I'm happy that the team did that, just a shame we couldn't take the final few steps. Next season I'm sure King will back Lampard along with the likes of some up and coming loan signings, it could be a very good season.
It's never boring being a City fan!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Really absolutely gutted

 

[DT-R]

People have been saying for nearly 3 years now that King has no money, yet every transfer window we spend a fair bit. This summer will be no different

Let's be honest we'll have the 10% Gyokeres money. Reckon that'll be at least £5m (hopefully more). I think blunts are very likely to lose Hamer so possible cash injection their. And i think we're highly unlikely.to hold on to MVE so let's hope we hold out for as much their as we can (£12-15m minimum I'd say). And if we can get £5m combined for Wright, Simms and BTA I'd snap their hands off. Take the loss and strengthen. Add to this and Lamps can call on his contacts for a few loans to add depth. If we can keep hold of our midfield 6, Saka and EMC, we only really need to add 2 decent strikers, a RB, a CH to cover/push for start (not lats or binks) and a keeper. 5 maybe 6 players and keep the midfield together, and we can push

Simms not played a minute of the play offs. Something must of gone on

 

[OldBedrocker]

I assumed he was being kept on in case it went to pens.

What I didn't understand is why he stayed down the middle and Asante went wide, should've been the other way around.

Should’ve been off and Patterson on the left

 

[Matt smith]

Simms not played a minute of the play offs. Something must of gone on

Lampard doesn’t fancy him

hopefully we recruit a frontline number 9

 

[PVA]

Sakamoto motm by a mile

He put in one hell of a shift, didn't stop for 120 mins. Unbelievable effort

 

[Matt smith]

Really absolutely gutted

Chin up mate we go again

 

[CCFCSteve]

It was a weird Sunderland jizzfest all night. They were dreadful

 

[Super Frank]

Thanks to all who welcomed me and let me hang out here. It has been a pleasure. I’ll follow the off season signings, learn more about the club (and the game of football overall) and be back for more next season.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I'm not as gutted as two years ago , we're in a really good place as a club and will compete again next season

 

[rockwoodfleet]

Yeah something did..He was useless over the whole season.

 

[jto123]

ONLY reason he's stayed on is with Penalties in mind

He’d have defo missed his

 

[The CableGuy]

Odd season.

Yes, we made the play-offs as many expected. But we had to sack Robins and climb from 17th place to do it.

And then were undone by a daft mistake at the back, right at the end of our season. Let's not mark the player who has bossed the Sunderland defence in the air when he comes for a corner.

We're not good enough from the start of the season for promotion. And until we fix that, its Championship Forever.

£5m for someone we turned down £2m for, Simms and one of the most prolific strikers in the division? I’m glad you’re not in charge of negotiations!

Plenty of value in the squad to wheel and deal

I’m not convinced by that. I have huge concerns defensively and up front. Huge summer to dictate where we are heading.

Championship again Ole’ Ole’ 🫤

Deepdale again, ole, o.... Bollocks

The entitlement of some of our fans is amazing- expecting King to dip in his pockets. Sell and recycle. Hate today it but if we get a massive bid for Rudoni you sell and reinvest - we’re Cov not PSG.

 

[Sick Boy]

So obvious

Sheff utd will go up

Ipswich, Southampton and Leicester will be too strong and bounce straight back with parachute payments next year.

Mid table mediocrity

Can't be arsed

Bye

 

[SkyblueTexan]

So many teams that are now in the EPL went through heartbreak a few times before eventually going up. We are knocking on the door guys. One day in the not too distant future it will open for us.

Pato not played a minute since his goal v Pompey! Gotta be spitting feathers sat on the bench watching that.

We haven't got huge defensive problems , once Dovin is fit and we have a couple of new signings we will be fine .
Agree with the problems up front though

 

[Para1140]

They will get battered by Sheffield. Hamer and Ohare owe us to smash the fuckers

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Extra time was crying out for Simms and Assante. Sorry Frank, you cocked up

 

[DT-R]

£5m for someone we turned down £2m for, Simms and one of the most prolific strikers in the division? I’m glad you’re not in charge of negotiations!

What? Since turning down £2m for BTA, he's done nothing. One of the most "prolific" scorers in the league has been missing for the best part when it matters. Id pay someone to take Simms. So yeah, if we could get £5m for the 3 of them to put towards 2 or 3 decent strikers, I'd snap their hands off. Granted, I'd like more, but lets be realistic, I don't see us getting any offers for Simms or BTA and not big ones if we do. And i think we'll take a big fat L on Wright because I don't see us getting our £7.7m back on him

Rudoni will stay, need a complete new forward line
