    Poor game - they all looked shattered from the start

    A team that has now only lost once in 6 games. Away at Southampton and they nearly done them as well.

    Players and coaches deserve all the criticism coming their way after that. No sugar coating it. SH**

    Sorry like, but I try and be as positive as possible, but I think they players thought they just had to turn up tonight after the Plymouth game. Slow and lethargic, and all down to the players. Absolutely f**k all up top and no creativity in midfield. Huddersfield,a team full of plodders that's been there and done it and used every bit of experience by wasting time, running down the clock, effectively mark Clarke and stick a foot in when they needed to. Absolutely shocking tonight.

    Doing an exile level performance here mate.

    Feel sorry for those who travelled.

    Again, absolutely no style of play. Clarke below par = zero threat from anybody else in our side.

    The sacking of Mowbray to be replaced by Beale has completely taken us backwards.

    The consistent selection of Bellingham is laughable. It’s like playing with 10 men.

    3 transfer windows and still no credible striker at the club. There’s no point playing wingers because there’s never a soul in the box for crosses.

    Forget the playoffs this year, and next year if we still haven’t got a credible striker and Micheal Beale is still at the football club.

    We made Huddersfield look good tonight, and in reality they are rubbish, their position in the league will show you that.

    Where’s all the pazzas and moving the ball zipping and moving
    It’s all gone
    We’ve been flat for a while now and we play different football

    Bad night at the office, not the end of the world, still very tight for last 2 play off spots. We must improve away from home though or it will cost us.

    Poor performance all round. Something about wanting to win and winning that battle. Lethargic, slow, tired. Need to dig deep now, how deep have the young lads got. One or two looked short tonight sadly.

    Off to watch episode 2 of this soppy tele programme. See you all tomorrow. If those who have been missing in the week we won are on here with some wisdom, I will look forward to the insight over porridge, or more likely the lack of insight.

    Good night folks. I suspect this thread will soon eclipse the Plymouth one in terms of pages, the revelling in what should be...

    I'm not too sure but did Burstow touch the ball when he come on?

    The comments about Beale that were missing the last couple of games have already started.


    Night.

    What you love is getting on your high horse, criticising the manager and telling people how wrong they are ...

    .. exactly as people were predicting after you'd praised him on Saturday.

    You're so predictable man.

    I cannot understand how Bellingham gets a start .. he gave the ball away every time he was challenged. Ba was baaaah.
    Patterson blew it to let them score .. but silly free kick. Poor defence, no midfield no attack no energy.

    I don’t pick out any players for criticism, anyone can have an off day, today it was the entire team, including substitutes who were collectively and individually pants.
    Not on Beale today, it just seemed like the players had a hangover.
    Disappointed, note to all involved, got to do better at Birmingham.

    There's people on Sunderland FB pages saying that Roberts did his hamstring and went off

    People have the right to vent a bit tonight. The f**King lazy arrogance of some of our players tonight pissed me off. Strolling about like we were 5 nowt up with 5 minutes to go.... in the middle of the first half. And was the ball full of lead or something? Set plays were shocking.

    It is, but tonight I'd blame the players more than the coach tonight. You can blame tactics, but tonight far to many players took too many touches , wrong decisions, Clarke constantly tried running into players, jobe was anonymous. Ekwah was horrendous. It was nowhere near quick enough. I don't think for one second that's what the coach told them to do.
    However I was confused be the subs but personally I think the players need to look in the mirror after tonight
