    And yet we don't have the best right winger in the league.
    Is there a better replacement currently at the club.
    Perhaps that's a question that could be asked. But currently....

    Listening on Talk Sport as I'm away, they said the cross looked to have taken a couple of deflections but my mate watching reckons Patto just missed the ball. So no idea.

    Radio also saying for 30 minutes after the goal you could see the equaliser coming and they've deserved it. It's getting ridiculous how crap we are after taking a lead.

    We are just way too obvious to play against imo. Even down to predicting the sub.

    Rigg is too static, hanging him out to dry out wide.

    Was the wrong sub we should have went with Isidor and put Mayenda wide, would have carried a lot more threat.

    Sheff Utd currently out of the top two ...

    ... behind a team who's won three fewer games than them.

    Watching the replays, that little chip by mayenda with his weak foot to get round the keeper for the chance he put wide was quality.

    Patterson though, dear me. Always said I think it’s a big risk to start changing keepers at this stage but RLB has a call to make now. Patterson will be up against it mentally every game at the minute before the game has even kicked off.

    That's nonsense mate.

    It's very easy to say, after a goal, that you could see it coming which is why people say it ...

    ... if it was so obvious people would say it before the goal.

    We looked more likely to score than they did.

    Didn't realize that, needs dropping and replacing next year. A team going for promotion needs a better keeper than him. I really don't get the love in for him, need a decent all round keeper not just a shot stopper. I think the fans in the ground that pay the money every week to go realize he's not good enough

    Definitely time to give Patto a rest we do with other players, let's bring our other goalie in from loan hes lighting up the lower division or Bayern München goalkeeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann has officially joined Sunderland on loan for the rest of the season.

    Agree like massively exaggerated imo. Cardiff had two shots the whole half one from 25 yards then the clanger from patto. We were hardly defending in the north stand and still looked the more threatening imo.

    We need another right winger thats what I am thinking, and have been thinking for over 12 months, obviously you think Roberts is worth his place in the starting line up statistics, and common sense says otherwise.

    Neither of those things are true, Talksport are full of ****.

    Patto flapped it. No deflections.

    They also deserve **** all. The goal is the only thing they've put on target. We had the vast majority of the ball and chances (not a lot clear cut), even if we did drop off a little.

    We might not be playing well, but they've done nothing except accept a gift from our keeper.

    Either that or get Watson on, another winger to hold on to the ball and attack them puts them on the back foot. Rigg is not a winger, bad call from Regis

    And that's the problem. We're relying on Roberts to find his form of 2 seasons ago because we don't have another fit right winger at the club. Players without competition become complacent and he hasn't had proper competition since Amad was here.

    I'm saying that he is currently worth his place in the side as currently there is no better replacement.

    Agreed
    But it's not Roberts fault that currently he is our only decent option on the right.

    I'm sure Watson could convert to a right winger given a few games there he can't be any worse than Roberts
