Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield United – Championship Play-off Final - Saturday 24th May 2025 - KO 15:00

Why is it ‘negative’ though? People say what they see. We were poor for long spells yesterday. RLB changed it and fair play - it worked. I do support the team, 38 games all in for the season and it’ll be similar next. A few daft words on a message board doesn’t change things, it’s not that deep

 

Let’s not derail this thread.

let’s just celebrate and keep the good vibes going.

 

Well deserved, Patto

 

Yep. No doubt about that. Regis got the prep right.

It was probably unprecedented to be guaranteed fourth place so far out, but he made smart use of it. By the end of the semi, Coventry were running on fumes while we had lads flying about thinking they could win. Same yesterday, you could see Sheff Utd were done once Mayenda scored. Wilder lost his mind too which didn't help them, making irrational substitutions in desperation.

If that had went to ET there was only one team going to win, and I honestly thought that yesterday. I thought it at 1-1 in normal time. Regis has played a bloody blinder. I haven't counted up, but I think we must have come from behind about ten times or so this season, often to win.

He might not know how to wear a shirt and tie, but he knows how to set a team up!

 

Absolutely hate time wasting in the game but loved it when we done it after they spent thr second half taking the piss.

 

Lampard and Wilder just aren’t good enough coaches in my opinion …

… their tactics were very limited and even infantile at times.

Then people wonder why the big clubs have foreign coaches.

My thoughts have gone beyond you but I think you’re wrong to call Smug out. There’s plenty others who feel the same. Anyway, the beyond you bit - why do some at the game scream at the top of their voices at the players that they’re ****? Why do they think a bad pass has been made just to p1ss them off? Why do they go if it makes them that unhappy? Support isn’t just about turning up. You probably don’t fall in the the camp I’ve described so not sure why I’m blathering on

 

Never enjoyed Hume taking over 1 minute for a throw in more in my life.

 

Think I've watched this more than the goals, love it

 

Roberts get some stick on here but Christ the difference when he come on instead of Rigg was unbelievable.

 

I certainly don’t do that, venting on here doesn’t change anything either. I’m frustrated because I want us to do well. It’s a daft message board

As for Reiver or Smug, whatever he calls himself these days - he’s straight on when a prediction isn’t correct or something slightly negative is said despite it being poor at the time. We’d be here all year if I was to dig his previous up but it’s a waste of time on here

I’ll continue supporting the club as I do, he can too

 

Rigg isn’t a winger. Totally wrong call from RLB

 

2 things I still haven’t worked out from yesterday if anyone can help out
Wider seem to make about 7 subs or is it still can’t count?
Why the ref added so long? Again, can’t I count?

 

The perfect finish. Looked as though it was going wide from where I was

 

Régis changed how we played over the course of those three games. Those two couldn’t do it. He was incredible in the playoffs like

 

I know folk aren't happy about people being 'negative' during the game but the comments during the game yesterday was mostly about what we weren't doing well rather than uncalled for digs at the club

The same posters who were 'negative' were still commenting at the end of the game and were buzzing as everyone was - no one disappeared or overstepped the mark

If folk want to vent about what they are seeing then there's nothing wrong with that, noone was trying to take over the thread
