Match Day Thread Sunderland v Burton Albion – Tuesday 22nd February 2022 - KO 19:45

But he was cheaper to sort.

 

Clarke comes on at last for Defoe too little too late Alex only 20 minutes left

 

I wanted to love Alex Neil. He’s proving to be utterly clueless about how to organise a team. And especially about the players at his disposal

 

I think this is one of those times, when my dear old Mum would say...

"if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything"!

 

I'm never one for it or one to do it, but if the crowd started to get on these players backs for these absolutely pathetic performances, 3 quarters of the team would curl up in a ball and cry on the pitch.

 

I’ve turned my stream off after 64 minutes. I’ve got a season ticket but duffed it tonight. Season ticket in the bin. Ain’t watching any more of that ****e.

we’re now a plodding mid table league 1 team.

Utter ****.

 

Not seen much of Gooch this half

 

And don’t get me started on the decision to sell Flanagan to help fund a striker that can’t run any more and some wingers that can’t get into the team ahead of Gooch, then having to start Winchester at centre back and playing Gooch in centre midfield

 

Neil's on a hiding to absolutely nothing here isn't he.

Like swapping pilots after a wing has fallen off.

 

Sometimes you get a vibe about a new player or manager. If you don't hit the ground running its hard to change it...

 

Good save by Patto

 

I agree but I’d like to think that pilot would then try to land safely

 

Dan Niel on for Gooch

 

Tin hat needed but Defoe was a terrible signing. Not what we needed at all. Speakman needs to go now, it’s a disgrace the state he’s left this squad in.

 

I hope your wrong mate but not seeing any signs to the contrary as of yet.

 

Doyle... again!

 

Doyle needs to be left out for a while after this display our defence is a shambles.

 

It doesn't matter what he tries, the crash is inevitable.

 

How do you know it was Speakman ?

 

Agree about Defoe.
