**** that qunt could send a glass eye to sleep

 

Worst we have played so far pre season. Seelt looking very shaky and we are all of a sudden slow in midfield

 

Neil slows it down he always has

 

I’ll say it.

I won’t mind it if Neil left.

 

Neil really not making the statement he will have wanted to

 

I wouldn't shed any tears

 

He’s not been great but he’s been better than Sadiki so far

 

He’s slowing us down. His movement in front of the back four you can see is miles away from even Sadiki

 

Ballard superb there

 

Christ Huggins is getting absolutely rinsed at left back

 

And I am still yet to have my mind changed by adingra, but it's pre season I'll give them both plenty time.

 

This is dreadful if I'm honest

 

Aye. He’s got ability and he will run and run, but he needs some thought process.

 

Yeah so far, he is probably the biggest money signing I have been surprised at. Seems to not be able to look after the ball.

 

Aye. Given how little were doing to get Talbi in the game this summer, I’d be up for seeing CT left and Roberts right for a little bit today.

 

This is the Sunderland of March time.

 

He never could at Brighton tbh, but was fast - why hes the one I've been least excited for.

Yeah that's something I'd want to see too.

Been 3 years now of having 0 game IQ, but it'll take time for Reggie to sort that out.

 

This to me highlights the problems of consistency

I’d be happy with seelt and Ballard as CB options but not to start every week, we really need two CBs

I’m happy enough with Huggins as cover for both fullback positions too but he needs to be more consistent

neil is slowing our game down Sadiki looks much better in the 6 then the 8 for me

adingra is struggling so far for Sunderland but plenty time so I still do want another winger

it just confirms that we do in fact need these reinforcements. All players are going to improve but we need a deep squad

 

South Shields must be wondering how they lost to us.
