Match Day Thread Sunderland v Gillingham - Saturday 30th January - KO 13:00

Wright so conspicuous by his absence.

 

Absolutely lifting that to be fair.

 

2 dropped for me.

 

Well that’s my coupon flat twice

 

We are sadly along way off promotion - a hell of a rebuild facing the new owners. I don't mind LJ but he has made some strange choices which I am hoping is down to the crap strength of the squad and not his judgement. Our home form is rancid mind

 

Simply Not Good Enough to get Promoted!!!!

 

Think we need a keeper asap and start playing players in their strongest position. Still in last 3 games won 2 drawn 1 so not too bad. If we can get our home form sorted we would fly up

 

Very very poor by LJ today not changing things up till it was to late.

 

Just said that to my son. Mcfadz out, Vodka in and Sanderson at RB ahead of Power. If you cannot find a place for O9 in midfield put him at RB.

 

FT 2-2 We got what we deserved

 

Awful performance.

I really like LJ and what he wants to do. He doesn’t have much to work with but at the same time I wouldn’t say we have improved much at all since Parky left.

I’m a million miles from wanting him out and am 100% confident he’s the man for the job even in league one next season. But so far I’m disappointed with the output and importantly I think he will be too.

 

I know it takes time to change culture but I can't stand that today showed the exact same traits that have gotten us to this point.

****ting ourselves when we get an early lead

Sitting deep from 60th minute

Conceding late

And don't even get me started with the decision to take off wyke for a defender (unless he is injured, that was a truly aweful decision)

 

Lucky to get a point, they were the better side. Let’s get the new lads in and see what they can do.

 

I thought we were by far the better side second half. Created the better chances too. First half we were poor and didn’t deserve to be winning. But once Gooch came on we were a different side. They got a free kick which led to their goal when the defender fouled Gooch. Put his arm across him and threw himself to the ground as he’d lost him and Gooch was going through. Think the ref knew that too but wouldn’t dare get on the wrong side of Evans

 

w/o Wright we sometimes resorted to tripple marking their Center Forward.

 

Burge is a joke keeper. Terrible signing he’s been.

 

One gained, we were horrendous.

 

Another rubbish home game. The inconsistencies of the players are just pathetic.

 

I'm usually the positive one but thought we were very poor and could see the goal coming

 

Still think 3 at the back might have been better bet today. A point is a point however and we move up to a playoff place, for now at least
