All going wrong for Bristol, it's comfortable for Sheffield. Daft decision by the Bristol player to get sent off, it's cost them the game, and probably the tie.

As I said on the other thread, the occasion was too big for them. Way too much pressure and they're not a very good side, sneaked into the play offs in the end. Sheff Utd were challenging for the top two for most of the season, a huge gulf in class.
Could really have been 4 or 5 nil. The offside goal was quite harsh as then defender wasn't reaching that.

Is Chris Wilder permanently angry 
? He's spent the whole game being angry with people, mainly the officials (incorrectly)

It was close, he might have. If it's that close it has to be ruled out.
The ref had some big decisions, I think he got them right, but I appreciate that is subjective.

Ah, looks like the chance has gone for Bristol. 
Gonna throw the weight of my support behind Coventry/Sunderland now! Would be good to see either of them back in the top flight. Slight preference for Coventry for me - purely on the basis that it's been longer for them.

Cracking atmosphere at Coventry. Coventry looking very tidy so far.
Nice and tense at Sunderland tonight. Deserved goal for Coventry. Sunderland have set up for the point from the beginning and may pay the price, deservedly so to be fair.

Roker Park goes into orbit...celebrations or what...Coventry by far the better team - but there do Sunderland go.

Coventry the better team but that’s how football goes sometimes.
The pedant in me has to tell you that Roker Park was flattened years ago.

Most of the game (and also the tie), but got the goal that mattered!

Were either of those legs against Coventry indicative of how Sunderland play? That's all I've seen of you this year and there was nothing there that suggests you would survive in the PL. I don't think Coventry would either for that matter but you would need a lot of clever recruitment in the summer.I’m a very happy Mackem, but I also have a very unhappy Coventry fan BiL

Not particularly, for most of the season they’ve tried to play “good” football. Their form dropped off a cliff in the last couple of months when they dropped out of the title race so I think those two games were just a case of doing what they needed to.
I imagine if they go up it will be a long slog and hard to avoid relegation

My boss wasn't in tonight. Just sent me a video from him at the Charlton game. He's going to be buzzing tomorrow night
Ruby on him Saturday hopefully!

Is there a more insufferable, unlikeable bloke in football than Nathan Jones? His antics last night, with the game still going, but knowing the cameras were on him was the most cringe thing I've seen in a long time.

He's a decent manager but I have to say I'm glad we gave him a swerve back in 2023.
His behaviour last night was some of the most embarrassing I've ever seen. He's not all there and has made some quite insane comments in the past few years, especially when at Southampton.
