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

Just back from the match.

Caught up with the match thread and colour me suprised at the posts

 

RLB’s conference has gave me a bit of hope. I like how he’s acknowledged the mindset from the squad needs to switch now into “playoff mode”. Also seemed to say the time for resting and rotation is done now.

if we come out of the blocks with that high pressing intense style against Oxford and get the win and score a couple I’ll be reeled all the way in

 

I’m starting to feel the same and didn’t post on the Norwich thread or today. When supporters are boasting about how early they left it’s not to my taste tbh.

We saw some poor football at Roker Park but I never heard people being so pleased with themselves and their criticism …

… sack the manager and spend more money is the square root of what they’re saying.

 

If it happens then happy days

 

Not seen anyone going on about early leavers tbf.
But surely that's why - the early leavers didn't even bother going today

 

I still enjoy watching the game tbh. Swansea and Hull were worse than today.

 

Bob you can't say anything considering your relationship with the ****s who previously owned the club. Not a bad word said from you about how they took the club to the brink, gave us a midtable league one finish, employed Ross and Parkinson, signed absolute ****e every single window, spunked money up the wall at every turn, almost lost our CAT1 academy status, employed people to run the academy who weren't fit to run a bath, sold our best youth players to keep the lights on, tried to sell countless other young players, think our u21s and u18s had winless seasons (may be remembering that wrong but it wasn't good), sold arguably our best player and chucked away our chance at promotion to a club we owed money to so they didn't have to pay them. And you are fine with them all because they gave you a bit of access, what the **** does that say about you as a person and a 'fan' of the club?

Get your own relationships and opinions in order before talking about others.

So yes, i'll back KLD, Speakman and RLB till the bitter end. Are they perfect? Not even close. But we, as fans, know how bad it can be and that's thanks to the people you call mates. **** off.

 

Another crap day, but thought we were comfortably the better side.
Pleased to hear after the game that RLB will now pick our strongest side from here on in…

 

It would be great if they didn’t go at all, it would be f ucking bliss.

 

Funny you should say that. Reading some of the posts on here today, I was actually thinking about games and players at Roker Park. Thank **** there was no social media back then!

 

Played well today and no lack of effort

 

They'd still be on here moaning like fcuk

 

Amen to that.

Can I add Prehab and LD to the list of constant negativity, everyone else is great we are ****e.

Promised myself not to post but **** me, it's relentless from them

 

…and that’s just the start

 

Echoed

 

I left on 87 mins today. If the players and the manager weren’t taking it seriously then neither was I.
Also I had to get my laddie to work and those extra 5 mins make a massive difference getting through the tunnel.

 

Never ending mate, never ending.

 

Ya know I’d take this from anyone except you

 

Like you, then?
