Their style of trying to soak up pressure and hit teams on the break actually suits a PL relegation season. They wouldn't stay up like, but it tends to be the teams who come up and actually try to play football that end up looking completely abject.

I won't lie, I got my hopes up and watched that til bet365 told me they'd scored, then turned it off. 

 

Coventry needed to put them away when they were on top in the second half.

Let's give them credit for once...tactically they got both legs spot on and they put themselves on the line for it. We know all too well what togetherness brings and to be fair they seem to have that....still hate the cunts like but we sometimes but we use that mentality and it has got us to where we are

 

Shit teyfo like

That's the first time I've watched them since we played them in the cup and my flabber is gasted by how woeful the level of football was between two of the leagues better teams.

 

I'm raging at Coventry for being so incompetent, to be honest they done themselves a favour by not getting promoted, they'd be lucky to reach double figures in the PL.

 

To any Geordie going to bed gutted that they won, think about how you feel now and now try to imagine how they were feeling when we got taken over, qualified for CL and won the LC. 

 

To the marras who are lurking in this thread. Nice to have you back, be sure to tune in here next season to follow the Mags dining at Yewrups top table

Thought their manager got it completely wrong tonight. A better side would have punished them.

That's what every other fan of every other club says about us when we tactically play them out of the game

True, but that's not what happened here. Coventry were in the game and had enough chances to win it.

Totally agree. Sakamoto was causing Sunderland lots of problems.

Poor old Cov. Lady luck has been against them in immensely important games for 3 consecutive years (pens in play-off final, FA Cup semi last minute goal disallowed by a toenail, play-off semi last minute off the back of a clodhopper).

Hope they go up next year with Ipswich.

Their final the day before the Everton game, could be an amazing/horrible weekend. Hopefully we do the business this week

If sunland do get to the premier league..so what ! 

 

Newcastle United won the league Cup this season. That's all that matters to me.

It's been the best season being a NUFC fan EVER ! 

and if they do come up, we will beat them comfortably home and away next season, nowt these jealous SMBs do can upset me anymore.

Now I didn't watch or follow the games but by accounts it was a Coventry error late in the first game and this game was seconds away from the lottery of a penalty shoot-out after Coventry were on top for most of it. That's not getting tactics spot on by any measure. Nobody plans to sail that close to the wind against a team they were favourites to beat.

Just finished watching the reply on CBS. Great game, the usual back and forth. Seemed to me Sunderland bottled it until the 122 minute goal. Hats off to Coventry who fought like crazy. Sunderland fans were the epitome of destroyed emotionally when Coventry took the lead.

I think Sheffield Utd are better but Mackems aren't an awful team. Their defence is reasonable (for Championship level). If Sheff Utd score early it's game over but they can definitely nibble through. Going to be an interesting game.

Completely agree.
