Same predictable ****e. Looked a lot more threatening when we had two strikers on the pitch, who would be live it eh? At least we might get a chance to see Sanderson get a game now O’nien is injured.
Lot of work for new manager both on training pitch, in mentality and in January. Some players like maguire are totally out of physical shape, he is a match winner for us and he mentally left the club when mcgeady left. Its looking very broken at present.
I was literally screaming at them to get it forward... Yet, in the first half, we were all screaming at them not to!! Crazy this football lark
We turned the intensity up about 3 times in the entire game. I wanted to see Sanderson get in the team. Not like that though.
I like O9. He puts a shift in but Sanderson could well be the catylst to our season getting better. Looked a cut us above the 1st game
Aye it will mate, no great rush. Was a shame about the one I was after up Stocksfield way was about ideal but had no mains power or gas and no fibre internet so was impossible. Would have been close to 30k just to get the place running, needed about 700metres of driveway the lot, I’m looking for one with a bit of graft to put in, but I’m not after competing with the ****ing Romans
He picked the same team and tactics as Parky mate and how was that working out? Full blame for this manager as it was for Parky. It was a golden opportunity to play a more attacking team with a mix of youth and experience but instead it was like Parky never left.
We didn’t have a player on the pitch or the bench capable of running with the ball and going past a defender, just very poor.
Spot on for me. As soon as we had a decent chance (Grigg off the post), they got their energy and optimism back and started having a go again. Too little too late, but it shows a team lacking confidence. we need a manager who can pick them up and get them playing proper football again.
Most experienced player on the pitch in Leadbitter has a free kick in 93rd min and plays it ****ing short 94th min our experienced striker graham picks it up 25 yards out and literally just up and unders it out to the wing 96th minute ****ing on playing sideways passes when we need a goal desperately And that’s only stoppage time, **** off, just **** off
Nothing against Luke, but he’s been a consistent starter in this terrible run. Sanderson may give us a new dimension. Also Grigg changed the game for me tonight, the usual suspects will never admit it though.
I really hope the new gaffer doesn't play three centre halfs and two holding midfielders. Horrible seeing how defensive we are with that set up and there is absoloutely no need for it at this level.
well that was a complete ****splat of a 2nd half if i am honest...once again we go a goal down (how many other teams are as cursed with 'keeper cock-ups?) then we decide to play with some little urgency, get some balls into the box rather than pissing about and lo and behold, one off the post followed by another just past the post followed by the goal...i keep saying it, all this tappy lappy ****e is all well and good for the premier when managers need to out-think one another and probe for a weakness but in division 3 you need to get the feckin ball into the enemy box asap. at this level, and i mean no disrespect to the players here, there is a far higher chance of a 'panic' or mis-kick or not picking a player up but that means feck all if you are simply going to tappy lappy the ball about the middle of the park...do that **** when you are 1-0 up.
I think the team needs O’Nien. Just not at right back! Has been said that Wolves want Sanderson playing as a CB which might be why he’s not been getting a game (no idea but there must be something!) . Hopefully it’ll get Sanderson into the team and, once O’Nien is back , he can move into that midfield role
I've no idea what Stewart Donald believes he's achieved at Sunderland but, as someone with 50 years support behind me and 1000 times his knowledge of the club, I can confidentially say he's brought us to the worst point in our entire history .... ... so, don't ever believe you saved the club, cut the costs or prepared us for sale, etc etc etc. What you are is a total failure, keep that in mind wherever you go Mr Donald ... ... the worst owner this club has ever had, by some distance.
