Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Leicester City – Tuesday 5th March 2024 - KO 19:45

True.

 

Good header from Jobe
Keeper saves

 

That’s how we got Clarke, Pritchard, Batth, Roberts so cheaply as well tho.

just devils advocate. The approach can be successful if executed right

all of those I’ve mentioned were in league one. We seem to have moved away from it since and gone just for youth

 

I said this on Saturday (looking over our shoulders) with not much response. If we get beat tonight, pretty much expected from a team on 78 points before tonight thats 0 points from the last 15 available. Now we can talk about models, and recent history and where weve been, but thats an absolutely f**kin disgusting return no matter how you look at it.

 

Playing alright here. Jobe getting into the match. Some fantastic attacking passes from Neil and Rigg. Getting into it, just want to see a bit more mobility.

 

Keep trying to tell myself we’re already pretty much safe but I’m twitchy as **** about it now

 

Look at who we have signed.

Not quite made it yet
Not quite had game time
Not had the move and luck of the green.
Injures can be managed.

That's exactly what the model is. Not established quality.

 

Had a couple nice passing movements tbf, out of possession we look poor - some are playing man vs man n its leaving huge spaces as others arent doing the same

CMs all looking forward when defending, got to be checking their shoulders to see yhe danger/space behind them

 

Still don’t understand the immediate decision to give Dodds the job til the end of the season with still 13 games left. Felt like conceding the season when there was actually still something to play for. If we aren’t careful there is potential for us to have to look over our shoulder. Is it unrealistic to think there was a good candidate available for of us to have got in February?

 

Yeah from foreign leagues. I have raised this loads. It's because wages are lower. That's why.

 

Haven't been too bad actually. Jobe and Rigg playing well.

 

Free and players mate. Season wrote off with Beale.

 

just takes a couple of bad results for us from other teams and we're right in the **** mate. Not being negative, just realistic.

 

None of our foreign based signings have worked yet. Ba and Seelt closest

 

Dont think jobe has played well so far but he is picking up some cracking positions

Rigg doesnt look out of place at all does he

 

Demoralising this. Well done to those KTF.

 

A fit and firing Huggins and Cirkin is a huge huge boost.

 

That pass to Hume a minute ago from Jobe was excellent.

 

90% of our hits have been uk based im praying the Clarke money lets us shop in a higher market

 

Am I on the match thread here, just wondering ...

... really enjoying watching Rigg.

Ballard seems to be settling things down.

Excellent Hume tackle and almost gets us away up the line.

I was hoping to keep them out until half time then start to think about attacking subs, might have to settle for a point
