I’m not sure we did mind, I remember Rusyn chasing them down across the 3 of them and no one backing him up. If you are pressing they all have to or it’s non existent. The moment Hull won the ball, O’Nien was looking for Carvalho to jump on, that’s the only press I saw and they did too, because just after half time, they floated the ball over O’Niens head as he went to cover.

We won the ball on a high press a couple of times. On one occasion Pritchard ****ed up the chance to make more of it.

I even said to the lad next to me had Ba started on the wing we'd of had more joy.

Ba he’s had loads of chances
He couldn’t tie prichards boots
Not yet anyway and the same with Auchie at the moment both can’t oust Prichard out the team
It’s been proven
 
Just give him the new deal he wants and deserves. Play him in the right position.

Not difficult.
I was told yesterday that we have offered Pritchard a 2 year deal but on 50% of what he's on now. I don't know how true this is but a friend was sitting beside a family member of Pritchards at Ipswich.

Fairly sure that’ll be complete nonsense. There’s no point making that offer and it’s obvious it would piss Pritchard off which isn’t very helpful whilst we’re playing him and a bit pointless if it’s designed to get him to leave given he’s leaving in summer already and we’re allegedly turning down bids.

It may be be nonsense but I'm just sharing what I was told yesterday.

That’s disgraceful if true, him and Clarke are the only creative players we have at the moment. I’d be totally pissed off if I was Pritchard, being asked to play out of position and also the contract carry on.

I don’t think a single sunderland fan would blame him if he left.

A couple of times in 90 minutes still isn't a sufficient press. I also recall as I said Rusyn running himself but with no back up. The odd occasion is not acceptable and of course there will be individual times we do it. Look at Newcastle albeit a far superior team it was constant, every time we got the ball, we were closed down.
 
Im not against pritchard leaving at the end of the season as i think thatll open up more game time for a player like Rigg (also think Adil will have a big impact nxt season) but we can not afford to let pritchard go this month

We lack so much creativity at the minute due to the way we are set up n the tactics we use - therefore you need players like pritchard who can unlock a defence

No idea if true but heard hes keen on a move to the states - not from the most reliable of sources so no idea
 
He needs tied down whatever for at the moment we have no replacement
A bad example this I know but if you could get Smodicz (probably spelled that wrong) on Pritchards wages it would be a no brainer. I think Pritchard is by far the best 10/AM we’ve got but if you had the budget and you could see a younger version smashing goals in on the same wages you’d do what they’re doing. Our issue is we don’t have the same quality at the club and our summer signings left us weaker so we’ve stopped trusting the possible replacements.

Yeah we just can’t let Prichard go
There is no one in the squad nearly as good enough
YET
