Aye his kicking was pretty bad throughout, not many complete fluffs but not quite there accuracy wise. That'll come over time. I felt more comfortable with him in net despite his age and inexperience, he gives off a confident vibe. Almost a bit arrogant at times which isn't a bad thing.
Most sensible fans realisd the team at the end of August would be totally different to the one that started pre-season. We've a young side who will make mistakes and lose games as we're still a work in progress. What's pleased me is that they've stood up to the challenge of physical sides lately and come thru it. Onwards and upwards.
Ironically that may work in our favour. We're two points clear and all the pressure is on the other teams, a position we've known in the past and blown it . Oxford and Wigan are both away and a draw with Wycombe and Ipswich could be good for us. Obviously Portsmouth, Sheff Wed, etc, can't play so things may change little. The momentum may be less affected with a week off than a bad defeat away to Sheff Wed ... ... and it'll give the two deadline day signings the chance to settle in
In all my days I can rarely remember us being really good at breakaways. We've had players like Gabbiadini who'd have the ball launched up to him, he'd bounce the defender and take off for goal. No one could keep up with him, from either side But this is different and obviously rehearsed ... ... and lets not forget the excellent run from Gooch who distracted attention from Stewart who the defenders put on his 'wrong foot'.
Thought that when watching the highlights, if his left foot is his wrong foot then there didn't appear much wrong with it yesterday, great strike.
Tell you what mate, you gave me a hilarious sub-plot yesterday with this I never usually look at other forums but I switched between this and that all day, top class entertainment. The Wycombe supporters spent the entire pre-match claiming they don't cheat and they're now defending their cheating this morning! They're blaming O'Nien for the punch, based on him winding up the Wycombe team ... ... one of them is so deranged he's saying the Sunderland players are the cheats and Wycombe are totally blameless. " Is there really retrospective punishment for reaction to being smacked on the neck, but no retrospective punishment for the creator of the incident? They used a really smart time wasting ploy, which went undetected as it all looks so innocent. Carefully line up a goal kick, get your defenders to make like it’s being played out from the back, wait for the press, then wave the players upfield, and wait again for everyone to rearrange themselves for the long goal kick. Every time... Takes an age to finally get the ball in play. None of the officials are bothered, and only 3 mins added on (all accounted for by an injury break and 3 substitution events). We are not masters of the dark arts after all."
Deluded ****wits. I'm over the moon we stuffed them. Not just because they have just come down and might be there or thereabouts during the season but because of the way they play, cheat, dive, roll about and time waste. And the tit of a manager on the sidelines. I'd want to beat them just as much even if they were bottom of the league.
Please don't associate us with any other Wycombe forum. If that came from the Gas Room, as Ihave said before, we distance ourselves from that lot.
That ain’t ever going anywhere mate, don’t worry about that. You see the young uns year on year pick it up, it gets the emotions going. It won’t go away that. We all love it let’s be honest.
Wycombe fans fuming because the kings of 'game management' didn't get the first goal and then the opposition dared to manage the game when they had the lead. I'll add to an absolute fraction of what we've been on the receiving end from Wycombe and other clubs. We've had three years of this ****, they can do one. No sympathy at all.
Looked at their forum given the other comments and my god. We have an issue because they literally assaulted half our team, they’ve come here and founded and wasted time every time (although we have done them 7 goals in last 2 here so…..), but the main thing is REFUSING to finish the season then taking part in the playoffs when we had 2 games in hand and had just minced them. I will never understand how that was allowed.
If it was the odd bit of foul play and high tempers, in the heat of the game, you could forgive it. But it's clearly coached and instigated by the freak manager. I was at their ground when one of their thugs targeted Watmore and Ainsworth was off his feet applauding ... ... both him and the club are doomed because they can't play any other way. Once they part company they'll struggle because they can't actually play football.
The bairn plays for an u10 team at the moment and if I ever saw a coach trying to get his team to do all of the **** the Wycombe do I'd pull his straight off the team. If I was a player I wouldn't go anywhere near a side that deploys those sort of tactics that Wycombe do. It's absolutely horrible.
Sorry mate, but we have this 'every club has its bunch of idiots' routine from Newcastle. The fact is that forum is symptomatic of the atmosphere whenever you go to Wycombe and it runs from the manager through to the team and the supporters. The supporters cheer the time wasting and applaud the cheating, as does the manager. I've been in the Hour Glass twice when your supporters have been unnecessarily lippy, never are in Sunderland though. I feel sorry for decent football supporters, like yourself, but there's something rotten at your club imo.
Imho, several folk then accused Watmore of being injury prone... when actually that tackler should have been brought up for assault!
Please be true. Unbelievable if they are paying a fee. Erm, I mean, quality player, goal machine. All the best Will
He wouldn't play here so it isn't a big issue ... ... but psychologically it would be wonderful to see the back of him.
Aye we just don’t want him moping about the place mate, he can’t be a good influence on the squad. Off you **** lad.
Ainsworth Speaking after the match, the Wycombe boss said, “I couldn’t believe we came in 2-0 down if I’m honest. “I thought we edged it in the first-half." 2-0 after 20 minutes and managed 3 on target attempts in the whole game.
