Match Day Thread Sunderland v Sheffield United - Saturday 9th Sept - KO 15:00

oooh you are awful but i like you

 

Half wanna go but really can't afford it this month. How could I want to go to a match after that? It's baffling.

 

Sunderland supporters perfectly summed up there Bri. I'm going and want to go. Strange feeling after watching us have 1 attempt on target in 95 minutes and watching a god awful game with 2 god awful sides!! Can't sleep and I've got a half marathon to run in 9 hours!!!!

 

Pint before?

 

We need a team of players committed to the club on the pitch - those not committed should not be in the team, we all know who they are so SG should know and not make them captain - that an insult to everyone (esp fans and players). I'm still fumimg even after a dose of " beat surrender " including Bowies "Rock and Roll Suicide" aggggghhh

 

They also need a manager who can organise a team, implore tactics and a system that suits the players available and tries to win a game. Grayson's tactics (hoof it to Grabban who isn't a target man) and system yesterday were appalling.

3 defeats on the bounce. He isn't getting the best out of them simple as that.

Kone was canny till injury forced him off and he's been decent all season thus far. The rotten core bollacks doesn't cut it for me.

 

what about sheff utd .. were they any good ..are they a decent team ..ever thought of that ..

 

No they arent, but they didn't need to be that's the worrying thing. Same as Barnsley.

 

Hire Ken Way.

 

Kone is by far the best defender at the club imo, making him captain, and him accepting is probably the only positive to come from the game. Its still early days and we have some decent players in the squad, get the passengers off the train, sort out a working formation with the new signings, and we will soon recover from this poor run of results.

 

Exactly the breakaway for the second goal when Sunderalnd were attacking and Grabban kept backtracking to head a ball which was cleared before it reached him - the clearance led the their goal.
A response to a Leez post - No Sheff Utd are not a good team - avaerage at best
We were woeful - end

 

Thing is he does,nt want to be here - so no good for usand a waste of talent

 

Even if he is here only until January, get him focused and playing to attract offers we can accept if he wants to leave, its win win.

 

I think Wilson might be as good as Kone but it's early days.

 

I agree but as we know Kone is a law to himself - probs why he was signed from L,oreint for buttons considering his talent

 

Steve McManaman... things can't be that bad?
