So can I ask for my tenner back

We only started to play 10-15 minutes from time... sorry lads what about the other 75mins.

Good from the night... i am starting to like Danny Collins (played for Brazil iirc) commentary... even he said Dobson was not playing well

Atm I doubt promotion

the main difference in my opinion was that they fought for a result...we did not even attempt to go through the motions with any kind of gusto, even the usually live-wire maguire seemed very subdued...hume again our only real workhorse, when you have one lad fighting for a result out of 11 (two when scowen came on) then we are never going to get these comfortable wins.
gooch was trying hard he created the 2 goals

As a Sunday League player I was 90% effort and 10% talent but I rarely let mesel down.

I loved the crack but would end up missing the post match drinks most of the time because the lads with talent strolled through the game.

If I'd gone it would've ended in punches being thrown because I couldn't stand people going through the motions.

I wouldn't last two minutes at Sunderland.
 
I like the look of Sanderson mind. Putting aside their goal, he looks assured and confident. He looked like he was breathing like I will be this Sunday (I’m running a half marathon!) at the end but he’ll get match fit and be an asset IMO.

Disappointed about Dobson. I honestly thought, at times last season, he looked like he would make a decent midfielder.

hopefully the fact that Embleton is nearing fitness might make a difference??

said it a few times about dobson, there is a footballing brain in there but he should not be starting and especially alongside power, (needs some U23 time i think to develop) bar the odd 5 yard pass to each other they never combine for anything forward...maguire and onien got a decent partnership along with willis with some neat triangles yet parky broke that up and stuck onien in defence, hume and gooch can work well together but both young lads who seem to get a 'rush of blood' at just the wrong bloody time...other than that i cannot think of any two players with any real partnership going.

as i said elsewhere, sanderson seemed to grow into the game, once he settled and ventured further forward we did look more balanced rather than it all going down our left.

not sure on that one, i think gooch is guilty of trying TOO hard mate and tends to let himself down too many times, needs to steady himself down and lose his rush of blood..been an excellent provider so far though, must admit that...i feel he will come good, onien was guilty of exactly the same and people were slagging him off but once he settled himself he has been a boon.

8 games down 38 to gan. It's a bleeding long slog this league. Not sure I can stay with it.

he was awarded MOTM
 
To be honest if it were not for this place my interest would be even less. Amongst my relatives, friends and workmates, Sunderland AND Newcastle supporters, nobody really talks about football anymore.

I had a very sad text, before the match, from a lad who's an absolute legend.

He goes to every game and has helped me sort out hundreds of tickets, dozens of hotels and countless seats on various transport.

He hasn't watched any of our games since March!

If lifelong supporters, like him, have given up them we're doomed to be another Wigan ...

... but without a recent trophy.
 
Its no suprise McLaughlan got slated for his lack of attacking abilities and crossing.
Parkinson must be the only person that doesnt realise hes not an attacking fullback or wingback.
His games all about defending, or in his case attempting to defend.

How many defenders has he signed yet still has the Wolves lad on trial ...
