Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Leeds United FC - Friday 4th October 2024 - KO 20:00

To be fair his save from Cirkin on the first goal was canny but I don't rate him as a keeper

 

no idea, seems to be some silent whistle for them all with 5 minutes left, i know it can be a bit of a wait if you wait till the end but we go there to support them...i have sat and watched some rubbish games but i always waited to applaud them off, they do their best out there.

 

Just been having a check and I'm certain that stats sites don't count corners as crosses.

 

Ah memories of a 9am Sunday league kick off! Always the middle ball!!

 

Special rules for goalies

 

Forgot to say been to too many games where the resul has changed in the last 5 mins and there’s nothing. There are different rules for goalies[/QUOTE]

too say something smug said teams only score when teams make mistakes.

 

What is amazing in this video to me and gives me the chills is the passion our young lads are showing.
After years of well paid mercenaries that didn't give a f*ck...you thought these guys had just won the Champions League.
Also you can see how much the connection with the fans means to them...had to wipe a tear or two after watching that.
We didn't win tonight against a very good team and there is no shame to that....but we hung in there and never gave up.
Clearly we are going to be knocking on the door at the end of the season to make sure it will have been a fantastic one.
Leeds, Burnley, Sheff Utd know now with us.....it's game on now!!

 

There are great manager and good managers and lucky managers , which is the best.
It appears we havea a good who is lucky

 

Thought we deserved the draw. I was very worried mid way through the first half. Their second was more unfortunate than any really bad play by us. Free kick given when it looked soft. Then I'm sure that was a handball in the build up for them. Was a neat finish tho.

I think one thing I'm starting to worry about is the lack of options on the bench. At first I thought it was a reluctance of use. But now I'm thinking he doesn't trust the players in reserve. Tommy Watson is going to be a good player for us I reckon. Lad looks like he has bags of potential.

 

The bench is strong as seen today as we argue who should play

 

I agree with Watson and Browne but who else on the bench would honestly make a difference in a big game like that?

 

Connelly soon…

 

Yeah I'm hoping on him too. Hopefully he has sorted his head out and can prove to be an asset.

 

It’s that sort of attitude that gets us promoted. I have to admit that for a few years I’d lost faith in the club. Watching that and seeing just how much that means to them it’s obvious we’re a team/club on the verge of something bigger.

 

I thought he should have come on last night

 

I believe you make your own luck.
If you sit back and do fook all you get nothing, (except fat and sores )

We deserved a bit of luck, them cùnts were lucky having been offside.
The players kept going instead of hanging their heads like we were used to seeing before this regime.

I keep watching them running to the corner over and over.
Brilliant.
It's panning out as the best season for a long long time and I'm loving it

 

After next weekend he’s going to be ready right?

 

When you're top of the league you sometimes need that bit of luck and we got it. Absolutely buzzing our home record stays in tact. We are flying what a start to the season this is. HWTL

 

Bit of a sore head here. Good night followed the point.

I really don't think we deserved it. Roberts , Hume and m Isedor were very poor. I was frustrated with RLB at just letting it happen, he is very reluctant to change, but he likes control so makes sense.

We are top so he is the man but if I am taking my Sunderland specs off, Leeds deserved the win yday.
