Match Day Thread Port Vale FC v Sunderland AFC – Sunday 8th March 2026 - KO 13:30

It's just the performance. If we'd played well and lost it wouldn't be so bad. It's the fact we've come out and done **** all that is frustrating and disappointing. I'm so angry that I could cry.

We haven't matched Port Vale at all. It was always going to be a battle and we have just not bothered

 

[Dave_39]

getting what we deserve here ****ing nowt bad as when Poyet throwing cup game at Bradford

 

[Danube]

Still not a glimpse of any urgency

 

[gelders pie]

Having to ask the centre half to play striker to try and equalise against a team 2 divisions below , embarrassing

 

[Danube]

Diarra absolutely reeking today

Diarrhea

 

[D-K]

I just don't have the words to describe this performance. Bottom of L1 and we're absolutely ****ing gutless.

Madam you have the right of it!

I am struggling to think of one decent passage of play we have executed

Can always rely on a classic Sunderland banana skin

I’ll take premier league football survival but what a chance this was for some late season entertainment.

Lack of character and desire by a far few today. An unacceptable lack of desire.

 

[Reggie the Cheddar]

No excuses for this. Team was more than good enough to go and do the business here. Piss poor mentality from the 1st minute along with too many lightweights. The lack or timing of subs is puzzling too.

 

[E.T. Fairfax]

I can understand not bringing Xhaka on earlier. I can understand bringing him earlier. I cant understand bringing him on with 5 minutes to go?

Six mins added time

Could be hours

 

[Nads]

Absolute disgrace of a performance. No other word for it.

 

[williebeams]

6 minutes added time

Should be all us and we just can’t do anything

 

[williebeams]

Le fee with the Max Power cameo

 

[Essayyeffcee]

Been ****ing embarrassing from the first minute. You can't play premier league football against league 1 teams - they just don't think that way. It's rough and tumble football - we all know how bad it was when we played in that league and how long it took us to get out of it.

 

[young2077]

No where near and even in injury time look where it is!

 

[Hannah1989]

Again

Thanks Luke, you utter moron

You’re mistake has costed us
