Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Gillingham FC – Saturday 2nd April 2022 - KO 15:00

before the next game a bit of shooting practice would be nice for a while i thought Lord Lucan was CForward

 

Did he push down on the defender during his leap?

 

Fookin gerrin.
I'd stopped looking out of superstition.
Then checked scores.
90+5

 

We thoroughly deserved all the points today. I'm all for people paying their money thus can leave when they like, but days like today is when when I believe its best to stay till the end. I can't imagine walking away, getting outside and hearing the raw of the crowd after sitting for 90 minutes.

 

Here is a better video

 

Massive goal. So needed. Top 8 all won

 

It is a good point about the late goals. They never stop like you say. I am one who wants to see good football and I think players nowadays want to play more. However, I am binning my principles and joining you for the next 9 games and will accept any ugly win.

 

Did they ...

 

Excellent 3 points but doesn’t take away from the fact we yet again struggled to score against the spoiling tactics of a ****house club. We were lucky today nothing more and although a deserved 3 points that could have been 2 dropped. We have to do better.

 

We've not had a player who could put that cross in with his wrong foot for ****ing ages. Proper footballer

 

Nothing lucky about it imo.

 

That was so bloody frustrating, but fortunately the Gillingham time-wasting twats got what they deserved

 

Evans playing 90 minutes whilst Matete and Neil sit on the bench all game really blows my mind…

 

Probably related to Col. Daniel Broadhead, who fought with, and earned General Washington's utmost respect, during a cold winter at Valley Forge.

 

Get the **** in. Massive 3 points. **** off Gillingham you time wasting ****ers, you got what you deserved you utter knobheads. I hope your coach gets a flatty on the way home.

 

I think he is one of those who has been unlucky not to get more game time recently. He has the ability to make a real impact. That cross today was as good as any you will see. I hope we see more of him and Broadhead in the coming weeks as I think they carry more goal threat than Clarke and Roberts, who are by no means poor.

 

I think he needed time out after being flogged by LJ, like most of the younger lads. He's head and shoulders above the all but maybe Pritchard I'm terms of technical ability. He'd have shown more this year with competent protection from midfield.

 

Big shout out to Patto for taking the piss right at the end.

 

I tend to agree mate, we need to be better as an attacking side. We need that spark and creativity. We need to be unpredictable. I think our goal today was thanks to the defender not anticipating that cross with a left foot and was just a bit slow to react. A lot of the time we can be too slow to play the ball. I am like a cracked record but Dan Neil really has to play more so we have that forward pass from the middle and someone who can carry it forward. I thought today waa crying out for Neil and I hope the gaffer thinks again about him.
