Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Brentford FC - Saturday 30th August 2025 - KO 15:00

Imagine telling a Sheff Utd fan, at the moment their soon to be dissallowed goal at Wembley crossed the line, that this season after 4 games theyd be bottom of the championship with no points.

 

cheers again RTB...

enjoyed that game, despite being very nervous afore the kick off.

slowly but surely the squad are 'coming together', think the addition of enzo with the 'go where i want' reinildo worked well.

keeper has already slotted into the fan fave position, hope he can keep it up, defence today were a few steps up from last season and last seasons were good.

still need to work on creating more chances but signs are good.

ref is probably one of the better ones and did just what we ask and showed consistency, starting to look as if ref's have been given a lot more say/control about fouls and are letting more go...can only be good.

my MotM has to be enzo le fee, really performed well all game and with the help from reinildo he drifted around a bit and looked like he really enjoyed it...not the best time to stand up and take a penalty but he did it well.

 

Excellent result

 

Can tell we won hardly any posts

 

Class result

at worse we match them but think we more than edged it

Get a couple more quality players and we’ve got a chance

 

Sad isn’t it. Mind they could be banned.

 

4 home games and 4 wins for the newly promoted teams.

 

Excellent to a man

scoring twice against a strong defensive unit like Brentford is nothing to be shrugged off

RLB tactically outclassed Andrews today.

if I had to pick ELF MOTM

 

we played well mate, as i said we need to be creating more chances but the squad are certainly looking more 'together'...some lovely passages of play and some lovely balls out of defence (mainly alderete) and i cannot really say any player was not involved, still learning as they go along of course so i feel they can just get better.

 

Wow.

 

Agree about ELF. I thought he was outstanding all game. Most defensive contributions for us today.

 

I've been banned from the transfer thread for no reason and no explanation haha one minute its there the next can't see it.

 

Great result and the lads look to be right up for it. Said to my son when Wilson came on I hope we see a baby related celebration and it happened. Checked my heartrate in stoppage time and it was higher than when I'm out on my bike .

 

Being banned wouldn’t stop you seeing it, only posting on it. It’s more likely you have that poster on ignore or vice versa

 

Absolutely fantastic result and performance that. Would have been gutted if we had got beat after playing so well. To get Reinildo on a free transfer is outrageous, what a piece of business that is.

 

Ohhh quite possible a few people pissed me off lately so hoyed them on ignore haha

 

Hope everyone has had a great day! Absolutely brilliant result! The majority of our team are still getting used to playing together so we’re only going to get better in my opinion. A few more quality additions before the window closes and I have very high hopes onwards and upwards!

 

Don't mind Leeds. Used to hate em.
The less said about their opponents the better.
A draw for me and hopefully a load of injuries to the team Leeds are playing.

But the main thing is.

We won.
Keep shutting that cùnt shearer up lads.
HA'WAY.

 

Quality game that. Tell you what the CB’s were top drawer but Reinaldo was better again for me. I haven’t seen the penalty incident but he was great defensively and even better going forward. Was saying all afternoon these crosses into the box are wasted with Mayenda on the pitch, get one of the big lads on. Difficult decision for RLB in terms of who to play up top now.

Brilliant result but frustrating that we’ve beaten two better teams than Burnley and dropped points there.

 

Watched the whole game on DAZN España, best €14.99 per month I've spent.

Two equal sides who were tentative in attacking in case of a counter attack. We were not better than them all over the pitch, but we were more determined.

It was obvious in their play they had more premier league experience and we were naive in some situations, but we showed more grit, tenacity and willing to win.

Collins kept them in it with his important interceptions and interventions.

Again, Le Bri got the tactics spot on at home.
