    Unreal mate. Pages of people saying Rigg isn't up to it. The usual dude, straight to me. Loves it man. He must have his bedroom and curtains still in the red and white club shop colours.

    I thought we created enough chances to win the game, particularly the two chances that fell to Rigg, the Isidor one on one with the keeper, the Alexis chance and O9 almost scoring again with a good header.

    The equaliser was very adept from DC and our unbeaten league form at home remains intact, so plenty to be positive about.

    I’m as happy clappy as they come mate but never took your posts as negative, critical but absolutely fair, strange but that’s the way of the world

    I wouldn't say our players were particularly small today. Neils 5'11 and Samed is similar height. Obviously Rigg, Roberts and Onien are pretty small in height but its hardly men against boys.
    We have 2 tall fullbacks in Hume and Cirkin and big lads in Mepham and Isidor. Im not buying Regis' comments at all. We were lackluster and second best to the ball for the majority of the game.

    As has been mentioned the number of second balls that ended up breaking to a Watford player was ridiculous at times. They didn't even have to work that hard to get them. Sometimes you just have days like that.
    Could have won, could have lost, take the draw and move on.

    another great chance to apply pressure and we do a typical Sunderland drop 2 points thought we were poor today least we didn’t lose that the one positive

    Agreed aleksic can absolutely play the rigg role if we want le fee wide too, lads been a threat every time he’s come on, there’s quality on the bench we just need to give them more game time to show it

    Over an hour gone and Sheff Utd have still only had two efforts on goal …

    … perhaps it’s that time of year <laugh>

    One thing you have to acknowledge is how we seemingly find a way to not lose games, especially at home. It's already been mentioned about todays result but there's also a good few other points we've saved at the death already this season that we simply wouldn't have in other seasons.

    Sheff Utd look bang average, theres no dominant team in this league which is why it would be such a shame to not exploit how weak it is this season and gain promotion

    Aleksic - plays well against Stoke in the cup and scores then isn’t seen for weeks. First one on today when chasing the game. Strange one like

    Going to be loads of twists yet, there’s **** all between us Sheffield United and Burnley, Leeds have a **** up in them but would be amazed if they didn’t win the league

    Aye they’re big, but they’re slight. We need some proper solid 6 footers in there to beef us up a bit. We lacked pace today as well.

    Yeah it’s bizzare looks a real talent but barely gets a look in, he’s raw and unpredictable but so is mayenda and look at his numbers these lads just need a chance especially if regular starters aren’t performing, I love Roberts but I can’t remember a more frustrating player for us
