This tosser keeps attacking me directly and personally. Other people have complained. I've ignored him for months but he's relentless. I'm tired of him and the Mods need to tell him to give it a rest.
To be fair, I thought we played well in the first half although it took us a while to settle. I wasn't worried when Plymouth scored, we're better than them. As for Mumba, what a miserable lad he is ... fell over every time Clarke looked at him and never stopped whinging.
My only gripe if you wanna call it that, we need to get Rusyn into the game more. He's making great runs but for whatever reason we seem reluctant to play the channels to him. Just a minor one on my behalf... but he is our best striker option imo by a mile.
I'll give it a rest when you do. The mods know this. Stop trying to instigate pile ons onto posters who disagree with you. The worst I've ever called you is Mister Tickets, while you've been banned for what you called me. And it was every other name under the sun for months on end. It's all there for posters who want to know the situation and not be gaslit. Boo hoo, the bully doesn't like the punch on the nose. Derailment over. On my part anyway.
Enjoyed that particular second half. Dan Niel immense today and the goals definitely had the wow factor. I was very doubtful about Beale but a nice gesture from the fans at 4 minutes and nice to see MB applauding in appreciation. Good use of subs today
I didn't start anything on page 16, I responded to a post on page 15. You're not just boring, you're usually wrong. But you won't say a word to SouthernA because you're totally obsessed with me. Calling me Mister Tickets implies I'm gaining some benefit, or financial reward. In reality I almost almost lose money because I never pass on booking fees, postage or whatever.
Andys-player-ratings-sunderland-3-1-plymouth-beales-black-cats-bag-three https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/20...land-3-1-plymouth-beales-black-cats-bag-three Anthony Patterson: 5/10 Not much to do throughout the game but pushed too far up for Plymouth’s opener but then did well to delay the striker getting his shot off but once Hume came back he hung around right behind Hume in no-man’s land rather than getting back onto his goal line. Trai Hume: 7/10 Caught out for the Plymouth goal and on a couple of other occasions in the first half, grew into the game though and was excellent after the break. Got forward to support attacks and played a great long ball for Clarke. Dan Ballard: 7/10 Not much threat from Plymouth, allowing Ballard to cruise through most of the game. Luke O’Nien (C): 7/10 Similar to Ballard but had a couple of instances of him driving us forward after finding space in the middle of the pitch. Leo Hjelde: 7/10 Still looks a little rusty, particularly with his passing that was erratic, but defended well and completely snuffed out Plymouth’s main threat Whittaker. Dan Neil: 8/10 Fantastic effort from the middle of the pitch, drove us forward often and seemed to have a lot more license to make something happen today. Pierre Ekwah: 7/10 Took his goal really well, cutting the ball back into the near post after Roberts laid the ball off. Played quite well from open play, moving the ball and combining with Neil but maybe a little too safe with his passes at times. Patrick Roberts: 6/10 Got an assist after laying the ball off for Ekwah but a frustrating game for Roberts. Gave us good balance just with his presence on the right, couldn’t consistently threaten though and often ran down blind alleys. Abdoullah Ba: 6/10 Caused Plymouth problems with his positioning, getting into pockets of space between their midfield and defence, set away Clarke a couple of times very early on and won a free kick on the edge of the box, but usually struggled to make use of that room. Jack Clarke: 7/10 Unbelievable goal for what ended up being the winner, didn’t have an awful lot of other chances to run at Plymouth like that but also stung the goalkeeper’s face in the first half with a shot from distance. Very wasteful from a couple of well placed free kicks. Nazariy Rusyn: 7/10 Not a sniff of goal but does so much good work for the team, dragged the defenders around, came deeper to link up play, ran the channels well and was a nuisance to Plymouth all afternoon. Substitutes Jobe Bellingham: 7/10 Rested from the starting line up and came on looking like he had a point to prove, scored a great goal, had another effort saved and was far more lively than in recent weeks. Chris Rigg: 6/10 Nice to see him come on with plenty of time left and as usual didn’t look out of place. Romaine Mundle: 6/10 Looks to have a lot of pace and was really getting stuck in on his debut. Adil Aouchiche: N/A Late change with no time to influence the game. Man of the Match: Dan Neil A very good performance in the middle of the pitch. Many instances of Neil drifting away from challenges and driving us up the pitch. Broke up play really well in the middle of the pitch and dominated throughout. please log in to view this image Photo by MI News/NurPhoto via Getty Images
Great game today, even though my feed kept stalling, almost everyone on a high except Mr Last Word, fed up with him.
I thought we looked decent enough first half without really creating and then blew them away in second half arguably knocking it down a couple of gears for last 15 or 20.
Perhaps not quite as much tonight. I thought you played some good stuff to be fair, excellent away goal from you. Mumba is an angry young man tbh, not as good as he thinks he is imo.
We’ve just took 7 points from 3 games scoring 3 in 2 of those games, I didn’t want Beale but ffs the blokes done well lately so give him a break. Once someone walks through the gates whether I want them or not they will always get my backing because that’s what proper supporters do.
I remember reading about Clive Woodward using a training method that forced the players to look up every few seconds. That's what we need. Or even the confidence to start hitting it blindly into areas where they know Rusyn is moving to. It feels like they don't see him a lot of the time.
We get a few passes into him and he will be very dangerous. Their back 4 had a torrid afternoon as he never stopped
Brought a few tears to my eyes.....my daughter is going through cancer at the moment and it's horrendous for everyone in the family so I know how he feels bless him. Cancer doesn't discriminate against age, money you have in the bank etc......hopefully one day there will be cure. The pray mat I use for my daughter every night I also throw something in for the lads so I am taking credit for todays win For the game today.....so please for the players, the management and the fans....onward and upwards....HTL!!!
Anyhow todays game, did anyone else notice that the refs changes the rules dependant on whether you are defending or attacking. A defender gets the slightest touch and goes down, instant free kick. Their number 26 actually got up and celebrated getting a free kick bang on half time. Both Hume and Clarke were felled in the same manner deep into their half, nothing. Clarke went into the box and is supposed to have fouled their bloke, who in fairness got in a great tackle. The gauge should be if you are going to give a free kick for the slightest of touches to a defender, then be prepared to give a penalty. But we all know they don’t.
The 2nd half was a joy to watch, we started to show signs that we are getting back to the form we all know they are capable of, 3 cracking goals and I just love watching Clarke strut around that left wing like a proud peacock. The lad loves it here and it shows. Special mention to Dan Neil he was like a Rolls Royce. I like their Number 9 mind he could be worth a look in the summer. Well done Beale and the staff and players, great 3 points
