Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Stoke City – Saturday 4th March 2023 - KO 15:00

Crying out for Bennette up front

 

Holy ****. We have been dire today

 

This is an absolute collapse. Need to show some character now. That's all there is to play for.

 

Stoke so much better than us. More fight, more quality. Better manager too.

 

It's not the biggest surprise I've ever had but it's still ****ing painful seeing it unfold.

 

Biggest NE surrender to Stoke since the Gremlins got done by the nawty forty at the Seven Stars in Wrekenton

 

Absolutely f**kin **** this mind. No excuses.

 

To be fair to the other Neil he has played an awful lot of games in a midfield 2.

The one game us fans had pencilled in where we hoped we would perform. Is it a surprise when it goes tits up?

 

1-3

 

No, but more of a surprise than it used to be.

 

Terrible. Can not use fatigue as an excuse either.

I have a horrible feeling we are going to go on a really bad run.

 

Players confidence shot since Ross Stewart injury and the refusal to get a short term replacement in.

 

Great goal we only need 3 more

 

Nice goal. Good play from Amad.

 

Sorry but this is all down to the coaching staff. Yes we've been hamstrung by Evans and Stewart's injuries but for be you keep to the system the players are used to. That for me is'O'Nien in for Evans (especially after he surprised us with the performance at QPR and Amad needs to be taken out of the side for Pritchard. Theses no point playing Pritchard in a midfield 2 good that's not his position

 

Just been thinking that

 

Embarrassingly bad. We miss Evans and Stewart so much we are a shadow of the team without them. Season is done we won't be near playoffs now I don't think. We will play it about ok at times, that's even few and far between as the passing recently is shocking, not create anything. Then get done by the other team showing a bit more fight and nous!
