Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Queens Park Rangers – Saturday 3rd May 2025 - KO 12:30

HT 0-1 not what we wanted but still plenty of time

 

Ballard in CB for 09. 10 corners, at least he will pose a threat and Enzo in the middle to start creating. Its not difficult RLB, youve had weeks to work it out and still no improvement.

 

Uninspiring **** this

 

9 corners, did any of them even result in a shot?

 

Loan messing about again but he’s Mr Sunderland so can’t say anything bad

 

Mepham just as bad, if not worse to be fair

 

And everyone wants Ballard back, thought he was in poor form aswell before injury!

 

Really missing the high press. I was hoping they'd get it going again this game.

 

Becoming a sideshow

 

If this continues he won't make Christmas anyway.

Players don't turn ****e overnight, but bad tactics can turn a team ****e overnight and that's what happened ages ago. This is absolutely dreadful to watch.

Rigg shouldn't be playing, Le Fee or Aleksic even should be behind the lone striker. Why swap Neil and Jobe around suddenly? Selections have been baffling

 

Good few boos at half time there

 

See we’ve all given up on here

 

utter ****e really need to wake up second half

 

The players look like they have so why should we be any different. Rightfully boo'd off.

 

Really hoping for Bristol to turn this around because I can’t see us getting by Coventry playing as we are. At our best we’ll beat them but we’re a mile off that and have been for some time. Bristol don’t have as much quality as Coventry so we’d have more chance against them imo.

Honestly what has happened to our style here? 4 months of gradually performing worse and worse from an absolutely brilliant side going in to the winter (I’d argue the best to watch in the league).

RLB has done a really good job overall but if the playoffs weren’t locked up and we’d drifted out out of them I think he’d be under massive pressure after today. I still think there will be talks about his position if we go out in the semi final because this is a sustained decline. Not saying I think he should be sacked or anything just think it’s been a worry couple of months for him.

 

Can you blame anyone? We’ve been garage for weeks and weeks.

 

Why he needs to go.
If we want promotion we need players that play and don’t do silly sh1t like this

 

What's the manager and players doing!

 

As it stands, only Watford are below us in the 10 game form table. 4 goals scored in that time.

 

I hate to jump on it at half time but that is nowhere near. And I am going to call out Regis here. Le Fee as a left sided player is not right. Neil and Jobe swapping is mad. This is now 3 halves of football since we went into play off mode! I see very little evidence of that at all.

Bellingham been poor for a while now. Get him forward and Neil back. Get Watson on somewhere to give us some sort of threat out wide. If Le Fee is our wild card get him in the middle for crying out loud. Otherwise, as it stands, he might as well not have come.

I think this second half is massive now. He has to get a reaction from them. We have to score goals and look threatening. We turn up like this at the away leg and it could be all over before we get them home. We need something right now.
