Any flickering hopes of automatic promotion for Sunderland were blown away by a rampant Coventry City side whose late run looks like taking them into the play off spots where if the two sides do meet again then the Wearsiders will have to play considerably better if they hope to reverse this heavy defeat.
Having said that Coventry have lost on their last two trips to Wembley, whereas the Black Cats have won on their last two visits.
Meanwhile, off the pitch the animosity between the supporters, which began when Jimmy Hill intervened to prevent a possible third goal from Bristol City at Highfield Road in 1977 that would have sent the Sky Blues, rather than Sunderland, down, continues to grow. Police intervention was needed afterwards to prevent fighting.
All of which means that should Coventry face Sunderland at the Stadium of the Light then allowing Sky Blues fans to be seated above home fans in the North Stand will raise the possibility of missiles again being thrown down with possible serious injuries.
