Also I had a message saying we were “lucky”. Lucky to be denied a penalty when O’Nien jumped on Haji Wrights back?!

Amazes me how much that twat gets away with

I guess you get used to the smell up there eventually?

Oh I don’t live south of the Tyne mate. I’ve worked there before quite a few times though.

 

[Ashdown]

Overall good performance from City! Not overwrought, always in it. Two wonder goals really from Blunderland. Much deserved point.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Sunderland offered little bar those two worldies, I bet the xg on both was tiny. Bar there was much between the teams. Certainly deserved a draw

Dont think it was a pen.
Though Wright should have gone down at first contact if we were going to get anything.

O'Nien still a twat though

Watch it again if you can, Wright was penalised for staying on his feet.

Have you seen a replay?
I was at the other end of the ground so didn't have the best view

Yep will try and find it. Was similar to the one Saka gave away against Luton.

If iPads make you angry, you are not alone.

Didn't really get to see much of the game but feared the worst at two down, good that we've fought back. 4 points from our past two away games is creditable, especially given Middlesbrough subsequent results.

That's Interesting. I'm sure I'll see it at some point in the next day or 2.

Certainly wasn’t

That’s where it started, it continued well into the area.

Definite pen!

It's quite a turnaround in the rules of the game when both arm's are being held by the defender ,he literally couldn't move independently,in his top half anyway,last time I saw anything like that I was being frog marched into an exhibition hall!

 

[alexccfc99]

If they are the best the championship has to offer then it’s a sad indictment to the quality of the division… and we should be utterly kicking ourselves at what a pigs ear we have made of this season so far

The team we had with Vik and Hamer would absolutely piss this division

I agree and said at the time. The majority of the pulling was outside the box, he goes down we get a free kick and it's a red. There was still pulling in the box but it looked like wright threw himself to the floor a bit.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

I thought we came flying out the traps first half, they then got a foot hold in the game and while both their goals could’ve been defended better they took both with great quality.

Second half it was mostly one way traffic, got ourselves back into at 2-2 until Haji went off and it took the wind out of our sails.

I would’ve taken a point at the start of the day, but a tinge of disappointment not to of got more, Haji should’ve definitely had a penalty(?) and I hope his injury isn’t too serious, it looked nasty.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Absolute peach of a ball from Tatsu for Rudoni’s goal

 

[mrfr]

Highlight of the game was Tatsu smashing a Sunderland player trying to break on him late on. Rarely have I cheered a yellow card so enthusiastically. Warra player.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Great point for Mark Robin’s Coventry City

Really shows how Rudoni demolished his defender

Any news on Hadji?

Don't think we'll hear until Monday earliest mate but not looking good.

Agree that’s got look of a 6 + week job

Bloke walks round with a bigger target on his back than Trump- and lives an equally charmed life

MR doesn't get a point.

Nor do you

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

The result is much as I had hoped for. Sunderland a bit out of form and us with a point to prove. What point is that? That we have good players and whoever comes in, they have a good squad to work with. That's 2 nil down to Luton and a sterling good win from behind, Thrashed the Bor'o at home who won convincingly today and a draw at top of the table from 2 nil down. Graet results. Derby was a blip after a fantastic assist from Rudoni. So why did we sack Robin's again? I sincerly hope someone who can work under the new structure and have gravitas comes in, because it will not be easy to follow Robin's achievements. No pressure!
Still expect these players to move us up to the playoff area.
Having thought about Robin's sacking it is clear King is out to build something different and Robin's had to be sacrificed as it was not Robin's bag to adapt to Kings vision in it's entirety. Time will tell if King appoints the right guy for the job....it's now a huge test to get it right first time.

Because for the last 25 games, the results have been shite?

Boro are a really good side , we were much the better side 11v11 .. but thankfully they had a man sent off .

Our recent form in general is pretty solid , 7th in the last 5 table

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Bit mad to think that if we’d just beaten Derby it would be 10 points from 12 and Doug’s argument for sacking Robins would be very weak indeed.

Would then all be saying what a corner we’ve turned…

But...we didn't

Indeed. Rudoni went bonkers and the rest is history
