Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Blackburn Rovers FC – Monday 21st April 2025 - KO 15:00

Don’t get me started on that I have this argument with a bloke behind me at the match every other week winds me up something rotten

 

We have been terrible.

 

The criticism of Roberts goes without saying but there's a huge disparity between the plaudits Mundle gets from our fans and his output. He's an excellent talent on his day and has certainly been unlucky with injuries but he's been a significant step down from Clarke. I'm hoping for more from him next season. Roberts, I would replace.

 

One of my mates won't have a bad word said about him. Reckons he gets into every championship side.

 

Got away with that Anderson imo. Looked intentional.

 

agree but so have Blackburn

 

If this is to be 3 losses on the spin... not what we need to go into the play offs... You just can't turn on form like a switch... Some huge improvements needed at Oxford then at home to QPR

 

Boro losing

 

They should be. They are midtable. In disarray. We are the big team, at home. Christ.

 

Think Alan Browne been poor today

 

Jesus wept mate.

 

Moved the ball a lot better today but offered very little in the final 1/3. Only since ELF came on have we done much in that area. I think Isidor is a problem, Mayenda is the superior striker especially against low blocks where link play and space creation is crucial. Isidor is just not strong enough or clever enough with his movement when the space is tight.

 

As per.

 

Terrible free kick from Roberts, miles over and right down the middle

 

they’re 9th with something to play for. We’re not.

just devils advocate. They’ve been ****e. You used “2 shots on target” as proof of how **** we’ve been, well they’ve had half that

 

Sounds like them who sit behind me. Wait until he’s beaten his man then ran into a CM/CB on the edge of the box before saying they’re doubling up on him. Ball control and first touch incredible but end product just isn’t up to scratch, then again we know that though because he wouldn’t be playing at this level if it was.

 

been a really poor signing, albeit out of position today. Real shame as on paper he was one of the better ones people were crying out for in the summer

 

all the playoff sides have awful momentum. It’s gonna be a lottery

 

They are poor though. Man to man too. Christ I would be sad watching them. That said we have just forfeited the game again. Paying fans, do deserve better IMO.

I seen the line up and have said in the pub instead. Smelt it. The boyo didn't fancy it so just watched in the town. Would be gutted if I was in the ground.
