    I'm sure RLB is aware of that ...

    ... no point putting the lad in if he isn't severely tested imo.

    Judging by their performances and work rate, it seems like Roberts is the one with a move lined up in the summer not Watson. Piss poor again. First one out the door in the summer please.

    Sheff Utd fans have the right to fume ...

    ... this is an experimental game as was made perfectly clear.

    Obviously, you think anyone who states the obvious has a grudge against the club if it’s not happy clapping. I can’t get excited about leaving better players out and performances dropping at this stage of the season. Tuesday was abysmal but I didn’t bother really reading the match thread after I’m sure it here was plenty of excuses. Or it will have been fine cos a team around us in Sheff Utd lost as is normally the crack now.

    Would look to bring Roberts and Jones off for Mayenda and ELF. Need some magic.

    The obvious?

    FFS man, you think the Sunderland manager is picking the team specifically to spite posters on chat forums ...

    ... that's not obvious, it's f*cking delusional <laugh>

    The problem with the “stating the obvious” crew is that they think everyone else doesn’t understand their point of view, they just disagree with the sentiment and are staying optimistic. And they’re always quick to tell everyone they were right when they’re right and quick to say we were lucky if they weren’t. It’s almost as boring and predictable as that half was.

    Good job nobody said that then, isn’t it? Thinking Jones in the middle is experimental when he’s got nee chance of playing in the play offs is probably more delusional.

    Not at all. Far from the opposite actually. Anything regarding as not being over the top biased is seen as a dig at the club and most of you on here love it we paper over the cracks because it’s a “told you so”. Let you all have your moment when we cling on to a 1-0 win the other week when we were talking about subs. Could’ve mentioned that we’d be top 2 if we didn’t throw away so many points last 15 but I didn’t :emoticon-0128-hi:

    Think we’ll still nick it these are poor. Get Le Fee and Mayenda on and go for it. As people keep saying it’s a nothing game we’ve got nout to lose.

    It’s exactly what you said.

    “It seems to be a “if you want changes I won’t just take the common sense approach I’ll change it so much it won’t work so I look right.””

    Shockingly bad refereeing

    I don’t care about the defending, the an absurdly bad decision by the linesman
