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

Aye and this culture is the reason we get slagged on social media every week with pictures of our crowds looking ****e while claiming 40k attendance. We can't sit and act like some of the best fans blah blah blah and then only turn up when we fancy. Don't get me wrong people can do what they like but we shouldn't be claiming to be anything with the amount of empty seats every week

 

Embarrassing to see this all the time

 

I don't need to convice you. It's just my opinion. I thought the team looked poor and we created very little. Think it was 2 shots on target all game, against an out of form team.

I am just concerned how we are drifting into the play offs. No wins in 4. 3 defeats on the spin.

Think we have scored 4 single goals in 8 games. If those players walk into any team, then manager should have them playing better surely?

 

Stop the squabbling lads. We all just want whats best for the club and us. We should be ready to go when we get to the play offs, HTL, FTM and KTF

 

Yep, singing about a striker from how long ago? When Jack Walker bought them the title

 

I think someone said only 6 times the form team has won the playoffs. Not sure how true that is

 

It's all good. I just find it totally insane that random people on the internet are outraged that I didn't fancy going to the game as we are treating them like pre seaaon.

Yeah, anything can happen it's football. I am just giving my opinion, that going into them like this is not good. The vibe isn't good. Fans seen really full of apathy, performances are poor and results worse. Surely a bit of a buzz , momentum and feel good would have us all up for it ?

 

Hoping we take that from the next two games if RLB's comments are anything to go by. Knowing our luck Enzo will get injured right at the end of the QPR game

 

Well hello mr happy

 

This is just the way he is when it comes to subs. It may well have left players jaded. However, what we also don't know is how much players have developed by getting game time. Difficult to estimate the effect of one balanced against the other. Plus it's reasonable to suggest that rotating earlier may have cut us adrift from the autos race earlier too. It's a relatively unusual situation tbf. Rigg is showing signs that he's getting sharpness back so that is a good sign itself. If Rigg Jobe and Neil are in decent fettle for the semi then it will undoubtedly have been worth losing a few recently. Besides, there were some positive bits in all three of the recent defeats. Just need to put it together now.

 

Tbf to Prehab, not to lick ass or excuse anything, but I dont think the two can be compared.

Negativity is understandable because people have paid a lot of money to go to games for us to piss about a bit. I say that, despite feeling okay with Regis' changes.

I think some on this board have went overboard, every post a negative. I get that from a personal pov but at the same time, when the dust settles, anger can make you look a fool.

 

Yes mate, time still wasted watching i suppose

 

I say it as I see it mate. Always have. Some wouldn't complain if RLB was hanging out of the back of their Mrs man.

That's their view, others have different ones.

 

Ridiculous comment

 

Just a bit of banter. Some are overly positive, some neural and some take things a little more negativity. We are all different, view things differently. I don't see this wave of posters, swamping the board work negativity btw. Just people posting their opinions, on a forum, the exact point of it's existence.

 

If he gets us up he can hang out the back of me until August like

 

If you don’t value SAFC so much,why post on here all the time FFS, then again it’s usually negative s*** pathetic

 

I'd like to remind those that seem to have deliberately continued with negativity, and reasons to not support S.A.F.C., perhaps not realising that this thread is being ruined, that RTB's threads are really appreciated by most of us, and most posters would probably like them to continue . . . . RTB

 

Disagree. I thought we put a poor team out and we're not taking it seriously. So didn't go. My choice. Not sure why it's bothering you so much TBF.
