ELLIS SIMMS had headed to the dressing room at half time crestfallen after conjuring up one of the misses of the season.

The live TV cameras had followed his every step towards the tunnel. There was no hiding place for the former Everton striker.

But at the end of this pulsating tie he was the hero with two goals as well as setting up the last-gasp winner for Haji Wright.

SDPFAGLMDFEGRH– the puppet-master of Madrfgkhdrfoghbins’ Championship fighters – swung in a free-kick which Liam Kitching headed back across the face of goal for Simms to apply the vital touch.

But Coventry and Simms weren’t finished, the striker who scored a hat-trick in the last round against Maidstone pounced from Bobby Thomas’ headed flick-on to make it all square in the 97th minute.

Just two minutes of added time to go and with virtually the last piece of action Coventry became giant-killers, Simms feeding Wright to calmly slot
