Look through my posts and I'm very rarely negative, if we lose but have played well I say so. That today was poor and people saying it aren't necessarily doing it just because of the final score. There are one or two posters that do that I am aware, there are a few that want the manager sacked the second we lose (some of them said they would accept him and haven't) there is one bloke who mentions the striker he thinks we should sign whenever we aren't winning and is negative as ****. That isn't me, like I said we haven't lost because we have been ****e many times this season (off the top of my head Boro) today we did.
Andy’s Player Ratings: Sunderland 0-1 Cardiff - Mowbray’s men turn in worst performance so far Anthony Patterson: 7/10 Made a really good save from the penalty and, other than a bit of a rush of blood in the second half, dealt well with everything that came his way. Luke O’Nien: 5/10 Struggled with runners getting around him in the first half, was better in the second but the winner came from another runner getting beyond him. Created a half chance with a cross for Simms and linked up well with Amad down the right once Roberts went off. Danny Batth: 6/10 Sold short by Wright for the penalty and left with no chance but was solid otherwise despite the lack of protection in front of him. Bailey Wright: 5/10 Had an absolute shocker with his pass that led to the penalty, better after that and defended well. Dennis Cirkin: 6/10 A good effort at left back without standing out. Dan Neil: 3/10 Started really poorly with another turn into trouble when he was the last man, luckily the team got away with that one but Neil couldn’t get hold of the game and although he did steal the ball a few times it was a game to forget. Abdoullah Ba: 3/10 Showed a couple of flashes of his obvious talent but struggled throughout his time on the pitch, had one burst forward but chose to shoot rather than play in Roberts and then a really poor pass in the lead up to the Cardiff opener. Patrick Roberts: 5/10 Played in Amad for a shot that was blocked and put himself in a good position only for Ba to decide to take the shot on but a quiet game. Jack Clarke: 5/10 Only able to show glimpses of his form in the first half as he was starved of the ball, had once shot deflected wide and a good run led to an Amad chance. Had a more central role in the second half but no real chance to make an impact. Amad Diallo: 6/10 Had a shot blocked that would have gone in after being played in by Roberts and whipped a shot just wide in the second half, looked more dangerous in the second half when Pritchard came on. Ellis Simms: 5/10 Isolated for much of his time on the pitch, got a bit of support before he went off with Clarke getting alongside him and flicked a header onto the roof of the net but handled well by Kipre. Substitutes Alex Pritchard: 6/10 Put a free kick into the side netting and helped us keep the ball nearer to the Cardiff box. Corry Evans: 6/10 Provided the team a lot more control once he came on and badly missed him in the first half. Jewison Bennette: 6/10 Lively down the left without his crosses finding a Sunderland shirt. Elliot Embleton: 6/10 Had one shot comfortably saved by the Cardiff goalkeeper and got involved in a scuffle just before the final whistle.
Couldn't agree more. Standing around waiting for the ball when you're marked is ridiculous. The passing and movement is so slow and ponderous, and the square balls across the back do my fkn nut in.
I wasn’t talking about you mate I was on about we are supposed to be a hite nearly every match upto half time until we come out better in the second half and then it’s all forgotten, there is some right moaning buggers on here who forget where we’ve come from and how young they are, they get experience from s hite matches like this.
No little bitch has been slapped down by the bigger mods for being a power hungry grass. Watch your backs lads, he's after you's aswell as us
It's valid to say that he shoulders a lot of the blame for today's result but to suggest he needs sacking is ridiculous.
Comfortably the worst performance of the season, there center half was ****ing masssive won absolutely everything all game.
He doesn't but he is under the spotlight. We have won 2 in 10 games. He gets a pass with the striker situation. But the points return under him is close to relegation form.
Just looking through our results, been 10 games since Reading away and that was the last time I think we played well for the full 90. Not calling for his head but thats on Mowbray
