Match Day Thread Sunderland v Oxford – Friday 2nd April - KO 15:00

"Our lad" as you put it has played less games, had less shots but has a higher conversion rate and better shot accuracy.

 

Second half we were much better. They were more than decent in the first half and caused us problems.

 

Brilliant, thank you. Fair point about nervy!

This team man.

On and up as Clocky says.

 

Cheers mate. I'm noticing a pattern, it's like we feel out the opposition the first half, then tinker for the second half and usually come away with the result. Good times ahead.

 

You really can manipulate stats to say anything . Why'd you pick form over two games mate? That's an odd one, why not go back three or four? Or go back to just the most recent game: a nervy one-nil in the 89th minute...

Of course if you choose the games to just go back as far as one flukey freak result it's going to skew things to look more positive than they actually are...

 

Three different scorers today and more options on the bench ...

... I never felt worried even a 1-0 down, wonderful.

Even if Peterborough go ahead they'll know we'll come back at them.

Haway the Lads!

 

If Rochdale can score three why can't we score four or five ....

 

I never asked for you to comment on my post, you just can’t help yourself. Just happy to see us get another three points and for them tovmake me £400 richer. Absolute scenes.

 

bit rich coming from you everyone has a point of view even you if you don't like it ignore it, just like i did with your 2nd gaff today and blamed your kid, everyone can make a mistake as well

 

@poshfan

those draws were almost entirely from earlier in the season under a different manager, the change within the current squad is all but amazing...yeh we have had some bad games but we still manage the wins and most will say that is a sign of a good team.

your lot really need the win to get a little bit of daylight between us where a draw would be fine for us with our game in hand plus our better performances have all been away from home, you need to look to catch hull, do that and you will go up with us

 

Happy with the sharks today, especially when shark power tried to jump aboard the Oxford dugout. Lol.

 

...... and he's due a goal. Monday would be perfect!

 

The balls firmly in there court now - they have to come out and try to win and that could well play to our advantage - intriguing game in prospect but i've confidence that we can go there and get all 3 points.

 

Gaffer definitely worked them out and made the necessary adjustments to the protocol.

 

TBH Peterborough aren't that good tbh.

Oxford were supposed to be a massive banana skin, just like Bristol, Accrington, Portsmouth, etc ...

... they all try but they're just not up to our standard.

Nice try lads but you're just not good enough.
