Black Cats have the advantage after winning 1-2 at Cov
but can Frankie's lads turn it round?
Should be a good un.

Why would we want the club who took most points off us this season, in with a chance of being in the same league as us next season?

There'll be a hell of a lot of red and white stripes at Wembley if Sunlan get through....
Good save Cov keeper.

Shef Utd will beat whichever at Wembley, for tonight I’d like the cov salt pots to fail horribly.
Next years form won’t mirror this seasons anyway, big window for all promoted sides.

While holding some body part (eg face) that hasn’t been touched. Disgraceful.

Spot on.
Sunderland are more likely to spend money and make a better fist of it next season than Coventry.
Sheff Utd have never won a play-off at Wembley, so whoever wins this will be in with a decent chance in the final, though - I admit - the Blades are a superior outfit to both these.

Sheff Utd will beat either of these pretty easily. Entertaining enough though.

Apparently the worst moaning supporters in the leagues.
I have a Cov supporting mate who is constantly moaning that every team that beats them cheats

In attendance tonight at SoL. Sunderland look there for the taking but Coventry don't look capable. Missed an absolute sitter just before half time.
Sunderland fans are a very anxious lot. Very quick to get on to their players when they screw up which has been a lot tonight. Very edgy atmosphere.

We'd p1ss it like we have this season, we beat Coventry 2-0 at home and 2-1 away.
As for Sunderland, their 1-0 win at home against us was an anomaly, in tonight's game we'd batter them!

I'm in the Rosedene, ashbrook, watching it on the big screen with the locals, Sunderland are playing sh1te, nothing like the team that beat us early doors.

Wright just removed himself from contention for us signing him (some suggested it).
You cannot, cannot, miss like that in those vital moments. Suggests he is not good enough, harsh but true.

Admittedly I haven't seen much of him but going off both play off games he's been very disappointing
