Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield United FC – Wednesday 1st January 2025 - KO 20:00

I read that as **** off Prehab again !

You must have been 'over the moon' when that happened . . . . something to whinge about and make you happy

 

Should be compulsory viewing for all our negative "fans"

 

Christ mate. I must have made twenty positive posts about the performance last night and said this after 09 stupidly did that.

This is the only one you replied too.

Poor form, especially from a moderator.

 

Nah Prehab made plenty of positive comments last night, I think everyone was annoyed at O9 last night he had a poor game

 

A hard earned 3 points against a promotion rival.. So pleased for Mayenda after the last couple of games. A fantastic touch to bring the ball under control for his goal. Wilson offered more than in previous games. Dan Neil excellent again he's had a tremendous last 6 weeks or so really on top of his game. We are right on the tails of the leaders and we move on to Saturday and hopefully 3 more points although it won't be as easy as some may think.

 

Brilliant.

 

So pleased I went last night. Was rough as a bugger from New Year’s Eve and feeling aggrieved at the kick off time but decided it was too big a match to miss.

Over the moon for Mayenda after all the flack he’s been getting as well.

excitement is building for Sunday now !

 

Absolutely. I would imagine lots said something similar when watching the replay. It was really annoying, an idiotic decision.

Really poor form for a moderator to single out that post only and ignore 95% of the positive comments that were provided throughout the evening. Almost that it's targeted again, trying to get a pile on going. I expect far better standards from those who are moderating the board.

 

And there are still idiots saying we cant play 4/4/2 ffs

 

He didn't though, one shirt tug that was slightly too blatant, an OG that it's generally understood was unfortunate given the circumstances and was immaculate all second half.

Having said that it's understandable that he'd get criticism at the time (less so one or two gloating about it) and people don't need pulling up on it.

 

Aye you definitely weren't negative last night, nothing wrong with calling out mistakes when you see it (loads of us did, me included).

You were also praising team and individual performances

You posted at HT to say what a good performance it had been so far

 

He was very poor 1st half, positionally in the wrong places and a mistake for the pen - unlucky with the OG

But he was good in the 2nd half

 

He was. Better second half and made important blocks.

 

More of our players need to get physical then O’Nien wouldn’t catch the referee's eye so much …

… our defence struggles with the likes of Moore.

 

Thought Roberts quietly had a good game again, been very impressed with him since he missed the pen at Sheff Utd. His willingness to actually get to the byline now makes him so much more dangerous, wingers need to be unpredictable for defenders. Was really impressed with his defensive work mostly though.

Well done Paddy.

 

He has his faults as all players do , but he does cover everyone in the back 4 , especially our full backs who are often caught out of position against very quick wingers, standard fare in this league. The extra burden last night was the threat of Hamer, the the best player in this league firing balls into the box from all angles.

 

What exactly did he contribute in that second half , I must have missed it , he is the weak link in our team imo and has been for two years.

 

He does and I'm a big fan of o9s, just thought he was poor in the 1st half - he hasn't helped by Alese

Thought both were a lot better in the 2nd half
