Injury latest
I don’t know at the minute with Browne or Mundle - we’ll have to see.
I have two weeks to find another set up for Millwall!
Reaction from RLB
It was a good first half. We started well with our strengths and qualities. We created many chances to score, two fantastic goals.
We felt in the first half out of possession it wasn’t quite right. We tried to solve it at half time but the second half was completely different, we couldn’t keep the ball under pressure.
More from Carr
Haji [Wright] was outstanding, he’s a top player in the division. He’s on crutches at the moment but it will take time to assess it properly.
Coventry City boss Rhys Carr
We spoke to the players at half time about some tweaks we needed to make tactically. But we also spoke about the character they would need. I’m really pleased and proud that they showed that.
Full time
And that was the last chance.
That’s a very poor second half from Sunderland, who had complete control of that game and have given away two points.
Yellow card
Sakamoto cleans out Roberts as he tries to break.
Yellow card.
Four minutes of stoppage time to play.
Great save
Sunderland get in and Neil squares it for Connolly, who takes a touch before seeing his effort saved well by Collins.
Attendance confirmed as 43,374.
75 mins
Browne is OK to continue, but Mundle isn’t. Looked like a muscle issue from the moment he went down.
Connolly on.
A remarkable spell.
Sunderland break from a Coventry corner and Collins only just gets there to prevent Isidor taking it round him and putting it in.
But this move has come at a cost. Mundle has pulled up and Browne is also down.
A long throw is flicked on and Bassette wins the header - Moore getting up to his left to palm clear.
