Match Thread Coventry City vs Middlesbrough Play off Semi final 1st leg Match Thread -Sunday 14th May (4 Viewers)

I saw the 3rd place finisher wins the playoffs about 40% of the time. Luton are certainly there by merit and I find it interesting that hardly anyone has them to beat a side they comfortably finished above.

And they beat quite recently didn’t they?

Does anyone know if the games are available on iFollow abroad? I'l be in Rome for the second leg.

Both their games against Sunderland were 1–1. Sunderland again will probably have O’Nien at CB, I’d back Luton against that

No chance for the villa guy

I wouldn't be so sure, like BNC & Doyle, he's just been announced in the England U20 squad for later this month.

 

[Calista]

Came through unscathed, so unfortunately for you lot, I am back to normal at the moment

Hopefully the medics have advised you to stay off the dodgy puns for a while

Wonder if MR is playing head games or something is in his surprises comment. Sheaf, Allen are obvious ones but is Palmer or even Rose going to be around the squad.

From what I gather it depends what country you are in. Unfortunately I think it's a no for Italy. I am in also in a country at the moment where it seems it won't be shown. I hope I am wrong but seems to be the case from what I have seen online.

Well we won't be playing Sheff Wed next season (4-0 down at Posh !!!) Talk about blowing the first leg (fingers crossed we don't do that - I'd take a 4-0 lead though!)

Let's hope we do what Peterborough have done at home.

We’d still go to the away leg nervous!

I had that nuclear thing at Southampton hospital when I lived on the IoW. First session was to slow my heart down while being monitored then next session, it was put under stress. That wasn't nice. Just a heads up.

Yes, the treadmill test, but done with drugs, not a treadmill… thankfully the nurses with me were superb when I had that.

You can tell middlesborough are worried, they’re desperate to got some of their players back for Sunday, wev‘e had players out all season and we’ve just got on with it,they reckon the riversides got a good atmosphere, they’ll be in for a shock Sunday, 3-0 cov, something specials happening, enjoy

 

[robbiekeane]

Mini stroke, but I'm fine. Just have to go to nuclear medicine on Sunday.

Hope you’re okay mate, all the best

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Speedy recovery @Otis

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Truth

 

[Macca]

All the very best Otis. I’d take a stroke of any kind these days. Let’s hope the Sky Blues help cheer you up

 

[Hutch11]

Hopefully City will cruise through to the prem saving you any further angst

It is quite frustrating that sky give more airtime to Thogden, Jennings and the Soccer AM lot than these 2. I would happily watch them on the EFL highlights show rather than the ITV pundits too.

I hate that little silver spoon c**t Thogden and his pretend working class old man, wankers

I'd heard a couple of weeks back that Palmer might be close to be involved in the second leg. That said, he's been out a long time so not sure how much impact he'd have

I wouldn't mind seeing him on the bench good player to bring on even if for 15 min cameo. Especially if you need to keep the ball or look for someone to create or take a chance.

They’re both always so overly intense in their videos too - don’t they know how corny & dumb they look?

Otis - positive vibes for you - please take care - I mean who is is going to get me train tickets to Wembley ! Pm me at any time if you need advice on train engines or bus tips

Sounds like pretty much any you tuber.

No, the second leg is on DAZN Italia though. Scholars show GAA and English football, so you might be able to watch it there, otherwise there’s a Scottish bar (the Nag’s Head) that might do.

Would us going up help put a few on the gate for Cov?
Less Saturday 3pm kick offs, not sure how often our home games clash with theirs.

CRFC try where possible to move their fixtures so as not to clash. They work closely with DB and Co. It can greatly affect their attendance if the two teams play same day

 

[EalingSB]

All the best, @Otis. Hope you’re back on track (sorry …) soon. Some lovely comments above which highlight how you’re treasured on here.

Makes sense. A couple of years ago was supposed to go to City v Cardiff over Christmas but it got postponed.
Didn't go to the rugby but went down after the game to meet some mates who had. Lots of faces that would have been at Cardiff had it been on,.

How does that tie in with my Wasps season ticket though ?

Cheers mate, appreciate it!
