REGIS Le Bris has insisted Sunderland will not try to protect their lead in tonight's Championship play-off semi-final second leg against Coventry City.

The Black Cats head coach believes that would be folly and inviting trouble and he wants his team to be "proactive." Le Bris masterminded that 2-1 victory against Frank Lampard's team on Friday night but will go into tonight's clash with a strong mindset.

"In my mind we have to win this game," said Le Bris, who has the bonus of Romaine Mundle being available after injury.

"We have to start this like we did in the first game with exactly the same mindset. Unpredictability is everywhere and if you try to protect the score it's not a good mindset. We have to be proactive rather than try and protect this game."
