    Best Away Day?

    Tranmere away - we were promoted that season but think we lost the match 2-0. At the exact moment tranmere scored the first the display board showed boro had just conceded, tranmere fans were celebrating, we were celebating. Great day, travelled down with the hebburn branch dressed as the blues...

    Share the load. The Bigger Picture

    The club isnt in a bad position off the pitch, only on it. The buck stops with the "head Coach" im afraid, i know you like you proof before people state "facts" bri, but im writing this on me phone and my 2 year old daughter jumping on my legs and my 6 week old on my shoulder, but didnt PDC...

    Clean slate for catts

    What's happening now is that Cabral wasn't involved recently but may be involved on Saturday or in subsequent games. Just as with other players. So cabral wasnt involved recently, even though he has perfomed pretty well, and vaughan/larsson are in the team over him because...?!? I just think...

    Clean slate for catts

    I get that but what if he's above his station? What if he thinks he knows best after a decent start thought 'i've nailed this premiership malarky, easy this"? Maybe he has had that attitude but it doesnt change the fact that a player with great experience and a seemingly good footballer isnt...

    Clean slate for catts

    Perhaps that's exactly what will happen. Perhaps, but the question and my pont isnt about what might happen its about what has happened and is happening now.

    Celustka enjoying sunderland life

    Looks a cracking player and is only going to improve as he plays more and gets used to the pace of the league and the system we play.

    Clean slate for catts

    Cabral was recruited by di fanti to fit a system and personality type that fit pdcs plans. Pdc also had final say on that recruitment. Cabral played well in pre season and played well against fulham (subjective maybe but ive seen enough football to recognise good and bad performances by players...

    Karlsson and Ba

    Yeah there was the one occasion when he dallied a little bit. He won't be a starting player so he'll be allowed plenty time to adapt to the pace of the league I think you mught be right. The thing is, and this all comes down to opinion, if we had proper full backs then they would exploit the...

    Just wanted to say....

    Mindset is going to be our biggest hurdle imo, i disagree tho that is revolves around conceding a goal. This may sound contrite and may not even appeal to pdc's teams but identity as to how we want to play and confidence that that system works will be our biggest hurdle.

    Karlsson and Ba

    Ba seemed to like to have time on the ball, may be a bit harsh consodering the pitch, but in our league you dont get as much time as the lad seemed to want.

    2013 Asia Trophy FINAL Safc v $ity - Match Thread

    You actually make a decent point here, but i completley and utterley with 100 % certaninty disagree with it. Larsson shouldnt start for safc in centre mid because he isnt good enough. Simples.
