Match Day Thread Sunderland v Lincoln City - Wednesday 17th February - KO 18:00

[Prehab26]

A bit harsh on Neil, he has carried the ball well and found some passes but he has made some poor decisions, which is indicative of a young player with little game time at this level.

That's why I am disappointed. I know he had do better. Poor decisions have to be called out. Especially at this level.

 

[RTB]

Patience is the key here, though I would expect Leadbitter to be replaced fairly soon

Really - we might need him for the penners

 

[Oliver's Army]

Dreyfus in attendance again

 

[Nozs’ Hat]

Id be tempted to let Jones have a go at the left back. Gooch is getting much joy against him.

Dan Neil looks good when taking the ball in tight areas but not convinced he is aware enough when out of possession. That will come there. He can look after the football so will develop quickly.

The LB is it n a yellow so we really need to get at him. He was cracking prior to his booking but that’s subdued him a bit thankfully

 

[Mick Sterbs]

Leadbitter off, 09 in midfield and McLaughlin on at CB. Gooch off Jones on.

If he stays on you can forget pens.

Just remembered I was at Bristol Rovers with @Sidthemackem for the last semi final ...

... stuck in an office on a laptop this time.

hopefully bring Jones on for Gooch he been very poor

I like to look at the good things and accept that there will always be mistakes in 90 minutes of football, hopefully they make more than us

I think if it was one penalty each I'd agree but doesn't seem switched on and his accuracy has been shocking to say the least

 

[O'conner flood]

Gooch looks finished half the time these days when's his contract up ?

 

[Wolfy]

Got 0-1 Lincoln written all over this imo. Very important we get the first goal as I can’t see us getting back into it if we go 1 down.

 

[Oliver's Army]

Wright off. Mcglauhlin on

 

[marcusblackcat]

I think Gooch has beaten his full back a few times. First time the full back got hold of his arm and got a free kick for it and the ref and linesman completely missed and intentional handball.

wright off for McLaughlin????

 

[Rickystixx]

Has to be an injury (probably precaution due to how much we need him in the league)

No way Wright would be subbed otherwise

 

[Prehab26]

****. Wright off. Not good

 

[Smug in Boots]

Jones hopefully. Need to get Leadbitter off too, just slows it down every time he gets it. Lincoln are playing some brilliant football btw.

They haven't had a single attempt on target ...

 

[Wolfy]

Why are they talking about Conor McLaughlin like he’s prime messi?

 

[Rickystixx]

Does make the defence very worrying for this second half

 

[Montysoptician]

Hope its not an injury to Wright
