Not $hite, just the usual lack of cutting edge. Sunderland have done their homework, 1 up and down to 10 men, they will sit in and invite us to break them down. We need to change tactics and personnel at HT
I suggested that before they scored. We have more full backs on the pitch than anything else. We definitely need Twine on, he might be a luxury but we're playing 10men ! Oh for a proper CF, we're wasting our time knocking high balls into the box.
We always struggle when teams sit in. Down to 10 men that’s always what they’re going to do. Personally wish their defender had been given a yellow, think a red was harsh as well.
The script looks very familiar but let's just hope the plot takes us to a win against a good Sunderland squad, even with 10 men against our boys. I thought the sending off could be seen as a little harsh and in any other part of the field it might not have warranted even a yellow but the fact is he played a part in the bringing down of the City player and reaped the punishment. Our lack of goal scoring prowess is on full display today and we prefer to tip and tap the ball around the edge of their penalty with pretty diabolical results and I just get the impression we could be out there all day and not score anything. I hope Manning rings the changes because the next 45 minutes could see our season go down the drain, or at least look as if it wants a summer break. At least we are still in it with a loss today but how much brighter will it be with 3 points today and still have a couple of games left to make our deal for the play-offs. Come on City let's get the job done for today and let the rest settle where it may.
