Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Blackburn Rovers FC – Monday 1st April 2024 - KO 15:00

Confident at Cardiff ...

... overconfident here.

 

Roberts worst player on the pitch by a country mile yet will escape all criticism. Ba is 20x the player and Ba isn't that good. Someone tell me what Roberts offers? Doesn't score, rarely assists, lazy and poor defensively, is slow, runs down blind alleys, has a poor touch for someone who is meant to be talented, passing range is ****e, crossing is ****e, see better finishing down the local park every sunday.

 

has their keeper had a shot to save yet its the 44th minute

 

This is dogshit.

 

Embarrassing

 

So poor from us so far.

Roberts is rusty but there's so many poor performances so far and none more so than O'Nien. His passing has been off, he made a poor clearance for their second goal and then got beaten far too easily as well.

 

Making the wrong decisions time and time again going forward. Started off well down the left with Mundle but not had much of a look in afterwards. Roberts is just way off the pace and should be replaced at half time

 

F*ck knows why he’s started these 2 wide they’re probably the worst options we’ve got fit. Never want to hear anyone try and make an argument for Roberts to start down the right instead of Ba again. Absolutely awful both offensively and defensively. Neil hopeless first half anarl.

 

We almost score and its vital that we do score the next goal, subs required now Doddsy

 

Jobe goes close
Good cross from Styles

 

If we nick one before half time, the complexion of the game totally changes

 

Roberts again loses the ball.

 

HT 0-2 only just ,

 

Why change the team that did so well on Friday. See how they go and then change if needed.

Now it's panic stations.

 

Not quite but the next goal is vital, almost worth 2 if that makes any sense

 

Dack needed to haunt his old team

 

Blackburn won't keep pushing imo, a Sunderland goal changes everything ...

... it's been very poor but we can play much better, Ba will be on soon and possibly Clarke.

 

Wouldn't be well received but I'd have him on for Roberts now.

 

Clearly not fit. Why has Dodds started him?

 

It's hard to analyse any poor performance of ours this season without beating one of several dead horses.

Nothing to lose in this one now so hopefully we come out swinging 2nd half!
