I thought we were really good tonight. We went away to one of the best teams in this league and were bold and played with courage. I thought we were unlucky not to get at least a point from the game, but I thought they were good in the 2nd half too.

Tommy Watson was excellent in the first half, caused a lot of problems, but we still miss Clarke massively and haven't replaced his goals. We're short on the right as well, I don't think Mayenda is the answer and Roberts has lost his way massively.

Big December coming up now. 6 matches against mid-table teams. All winnable, we need to be positive with our play and get some wins on the board.
 
He played pretty well I thought. Shouldn’t be on pens though. We all knew where it was going.
Every game he runs well with the ball and he’s working harder this year but can’t deliver a championship standard ball into the box. His balls into the box are actually embarrassing for a winger.

I make comments when they are due. Not just because I am a Sunderland fan on a Sunderland forum.

We need to start having a proper conversation otherwise top 6 is going to drift. It's been coming
Did you actually watch the game tonight better team by miles Need to give your head a shake mate constantly negative Regardless of the performance
 
I was told we dominated at west brom. Told we deserved to win today.

I don't think either keepers made a save in open play worthy of talking about.

Can we have a honest conversation of what's happening.
That's fair, for all I thought we played well we've not troubled the keeper
 
1-1 would have been a fair result but fair play Davies took his goal well and we didn't take any of our chances.

I don't like to pick on players but I really hope Roberts is taken out of the team and someone else, Mayenda specifically, is given a chance. Dribbling and producing nothing isn't good enough and hasn't been for a couple of seasons. A total rookie in Watson showed what a winger should be doing.

Regis should have made subs earlier, again. Their subs changed the game in their favour and we could only react to it, too late.

That aside we matched them and there was very little in it.
 
need to strengthen in January if we want to have chance of promotion squad depth is poor
 
We have been **** in the second half. Poor positionally and the same players are standing out as well players in the system.

Untill it changes I think we will drop to play off hopefulls instead of automatic contenders.
Oops. Already missed it :emoticon-0140-rofl:
 
@TeamOfTalents care to comment or is it just me you pull on posts?

Of
to an extent I think we are just reverting to where / what we should be. Rather than the lofty heights our early form brought us.

We aren’t good enough for automatic promotion and I was always worried that that early form would come back to haunt us with fans losing their rag when things stop going our way.

If somebody told us at start of season we’d only be losing to the parachute payment clubs 1-0 away from home with a sucker punch goal, we’d probably say it was fair enough. It’s only because we started so well and got pretty lucky at the start of the season that things seem so bad now.

next few games are very winnable. I can see come January we will be cementing our place in the playoffs

I think we will be 6-8th mate. We have massive gaps in the squad and some of us inflate our players massively.

We have had a canny run of games with 80% being bottom half recently and we have won zero.

We do have moment where I buzz off but there is massive gaps. The bench is ****. RLB won't use subs timely. We don't have a DM and frankly we need a better option on the wing.

Yep. Go for it.

We played well away against the team who are top of the league. We lost a very tight game, where both teams were evenly matched and it could have gone either way.

Our fans were still right behind the team after the final whistle. We've got a young squad and have massively improved from last season.
 
Players need to realise how good they are. Sheff nothing special. RLB earn your corn. You have a great team, make inspired subs and rest players when they need rest. Points no longer should be considered good result as we are so much better than other championship teams. Striker is still the key position on any team. We dominate possession and should be scoring more.
