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

[Prehab26]

I know that you favour this combination, Mepham and Ballard, however I wasn't convinced. Neither looked comfortable in partnership.
Just my observation, perhaps they need 5 or 6 games together to form a partnership.
However O9 has played with various partners and each combination has looked relatively comfortable.

Aye mate. Really fair point. I reckon hardened centre backs will love 09. He can do the dribbling and ball carrying ha.

He will also play LCB, Mepham and Ballard both best as RCB - makes a huge difference imo

 

[Prehab26]

I don't have a private message, and I've checked twice, but that's irrelevant.

With no provocation you've insulted me as an old fart ...

... if you have anything about you, apologise on the thread you insulted me or take the consequences.

You started it, either finish it with some courage or things will take their natural course.

Natural course, consequences.

Sorry John Wick lad.

Mepham is better than I thought in this regard mind. The pass he played for Mayenda early in the game was superb

 

[Saf]

Never thought I would agree but I do now. I was sent a message earlier saying this is why tonight has happened.

What a bloody shame.

Thankfully you haven’t become a fall guy, like me.

Anyway, I’m back off now. I’ve sent a message to the right place for when Gordon attempts to ban you. You’ll be alright.

He is absolutely class mate. His passing and coming out with the ball is mint. The best centre back we have. By a mile too.

Sorry John Wick lad.

So where is this private message big man?

Again, I said you have my private message to communicate as the thread has enough of your nonsense. Feel free to send me one so everyone else can contribute to this thread without the absolute verbal garbage coming out of your mouth.

As if he wouldn't be alright without you poking your nose in ...

... give it a rest you boring twat.

I'm certainly not in favour of centrebacks dribbling with the ball
All I'm saying is that Ballard and Mepham appear to need time to form a partnership. Not sure if we have that time at this stage of the season
However, horses for courses etc. We may have a number of games coming up that may suit have 2 strong robust centre backs, however I'll leave that decision to RLB

 

[Gordon Armstrong]

I hope that you understand, but I'm going to have to lock this thread, at least for now, lads.
You two, who are both respected posters, have both gone a bit too far, it's spoiling RTB's thread, made worse by a deliberate 'outside' attempt to ruin it altogether, and most of us will have had enough . . . . sorry, RTB.

Please don't start again elsewhere
