Match Day Thread Sunderland v Bristol Rovers - Saturday 12th September - KO 15:00

Kept the best players on the bench. Tactical genius from Parky.

 

The Parky Plan

 

Glad all those lessons from last season have been learnt and players brought in to make the team stronger from last year - only for some to be left on the bench or not in the team whatsoever!

 

Slow ponderous hoof ball ****ing ****e

 

Unlucky from Maguire good play but just too much on the pass.

 

The best players pre season are not even on the bench

 

Well that's the bairn away to play on his Xbox at 25 mins. "but we were good in pre season" he shouts as he stomps upstairs.

 

Might hoy Murder She Wrote on.

Better midfield.

 

Hume goes close corner wasted get Scowen on now

 

• Makes no sense does it! You win 8-1 and change 10 of the team!!! Scowen was superb midweek and starts on the bench? I like Dobson but he’s not looked as good as Scowen in his fleeting appearances. And Flanagan is a decent pro and good backup but not as good as Jumanji! Lots of questions today for me and I am not one to have a go at him

 

"Oof and the ball absolutely whacks onto Dobson's head!"

Yeah it's called a header.

 

I always remember when I was part of a league and cup winning u11 team we knew where each other would be, this lot have no instinct at all

 

For those who are watching, who are the worst three on the pitch?

 

Flanagan, Dobson, Burge.

 

Weren't we all talking about the height of our centre halves pre kickoff, what happened?

 

better but corner wasted again by Maguire

 

That’s a tough one mate

 

Good play by onien there. Corner.

 

So the team finds it hard to play in front of an expectant crowd at home - wonder what the excuse is today, can't put 2 bloody passes together!
