To be honest as awful as we have been defending down our left hand side and defensively overall we could and should be at least level. Half decent finishing and we could be ahead.
Sanderson should be full back. Power must have some influence in the dressing room, coz there’s absolutely no chance he should be anywhere near the starting line up.
all these years supporting and Sunderland still they have the power to fekk my day right up, you would think i would have learnt by now
I would have Scowen if for Leadbitter immediately. Would get diamond and or Jones on too. Front foot, press and pace.
We need to get something out of this game - 3 points hopefully, results are going against us at half time
being a glutton for punishment i will end up sitting through the 2nd half praying we can pull a win off
We were overrun for 20 minutes but have since got more of a grip. We are forcing them into errors in possession and we have 4 or 5 in their half to make the most of it. If we had better finishing we would be ahead. Charlie should have done better with a couple and Power had a great chance. Vokins needs someone to talk to him when they have it. He looks lacking in positional awareness. Jerome is pulling out there and Wright is following so the full back space is confused, he needs to adapt to that. On the ball he looks good though, calm and good vision and a decent attacking threat.
Then on the bench for me if LJ is persisting with this formation, he needs to help his full back out when the opposition is attacking down that side
To be fair, we’ve created the 4 best chances. Their first goal came due to poor keeping and second was just a steal from a poor shot and a static keeper. Wyke should’ve had at least 1 more from his 2 chances (first one was right under his feet so tough to direct) . Power a very good chance
Mcgeady makes tiny contact with their player he collapsed to the ground. Jerome makes significant contact with Willis and he can’t go down as Jerome is free!
