Well, firmly bottom of the form table a set-up today that beggars belief - elf & Roberts out wide kills any fast attacking possibility. Roberts is so far off it’s painful. Rigg has been off it for months yet gets the slot ahead of Elf in the middle With Mundle out we should be starting with Watson, Isidore and Mayenda - why the **** he didn’t try that today is beyond me. I have lost a lot of faith in Regis this past 2 months. Last week was bad, but today the nails started getting hammered into the coffin. we definitely flattered to device at the start of the season, but we are capable of way better than this ****. Gutted this is how we end the season.
Its that mentality that the players seemingly adapted at Christmas and 2025 has been a disaster. Sunderland are the biggest team in the league and unless the fans raise expectations we will continue to see, massive clubs like, Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham, Burnley etc..look down on us..
Dear me must be about 3-4k left in the stadium. I’m actually embarrassed for the players having to do it with so little here. Still had a good season irregardless of the second half to finish 4th but **** me the fall off has been incredible. Something needs to change for the Coventry match and I’ll tell you now if Rigg starts central and Le Fee is on the left we might as well finish the season now.
I'm totally at a loss on the last couple of months... We are a good team...exciting youngsters with great futures and cruising into the playoffs...We have been shown up by Hull, Blackburn, Bristol, Oxford, Swansea and now QPR... we haven't laid a glove on any of these teams...what the hell is going on.
Mundle, Watson & Roberts are better out wide than Rigg & Enzo. We can only play who we have and see what happens.
He's **** and doesn't deserve his start, same as rigg brings nothing to the team, I would put le fee in the middle for rigg and play mundle on the left. Put Watson on the right for Roberts as he couldn't be any worse
Really really poor. A big ask to play at the level needed now, but not an impossible one. We just dont look like we have any goals unless someone does something miraculous. Our style of play, second half of the season, has been really laboured. That has to be down to the coaching team. We have lost any style or pattern to our play. At times I think we are more comfortable without the ball than with it. That is criminal when you look at our squad. We should be hitting 60% possession at least in most games. Big big few days for Regis now. He is a very passive touchline manager, but he looked a deflated at the end there to me. He needs to somehow find a spark to light things up again. If we go out of the play offs with a whimper I fear for him tbh. I shouldnt, but this last couple of months have been really worrying.
Hmm, Mundle and Enzo have never been fit at the same time yet. People wanted Watson to never put on the shirt again just a week ago. I feel like Rigg has started at most 2 games on the right.
If we all can see that, and we only see the players on match day, makes you wonder what RLB is thinking. For me Ballard and Mepham deser ve a chance to play together
We’ve got to somehow navigate that first leg and keep in the tie. Coventry will genuinely have thoughts of having it done after the first leg. I’d go: Patto Hume Meptham Ballard cirkin Neil jobe Mayenda ELF Watson Isidor
They’ll defo fancy their chances like I just can’t get past our form. Coventry aren’t that good they had a purple patch picking up a few last minute wins if we can’t beat them we don’t deserve promotion simple as that. RLB gambled and if we go out with a whimper his job will be on the line imo.
Aye, O’Nien would be nowhere near the side for me but hey ho. Boring Regis will play him no matter what
