Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Huddersfield Town FC - Tuesday 26th August 2025 - KO 19:45

They look like they've never played with each other before.

 

Struggling to string anything meaningful together so far. Poor overall.

 

Lacking real pace and threat in wide areas

 

And look like they've not had many competitive minutes so far

 

That's the concern for me, we are crying out for more quality in the wide area - hope we can get at least 1 in

 

Sold on Mukiele already is the positive.

Playing immaculate like he’s got a smoking jacket and slippers on.

Asset.

 

Rigg trying far too hard. Nothing sticking.

Muiekle looks class though

 

Very poor so far . Huddersfield easily dealing with things so far. To slow going forward lacking pace out wide. To centre backs look quite decent but overall very poor.

 

Riggy is blowing out his arse ha.

 

Front two aren’t doing much. Rigg completely at sea. Middle two doing okay though.

 

Gooch has never had an easier 30 minutes at the SoL.

 

I hope Harrison Jones gets a L1 loan, a season of playing at this level would do him the world of good

 

Sorry, getting frustrated.
Our center halves have passed the ball forward more and beat their man more than our wingers.

Our center midfielders drop deep and allow them to attack.

Can we at least have a shot from distance? We're trying to walk it in.

 

Ah Roberts mate. What the ****

 

certain someone in the north west who might be worth a look at

 

Watching Roberts play against a League 1 fullback is bringing back bad memories.
We really do need to get another winger in asap and have him 5th choice once Mundles back, or ideally in the nicest possible way because im grateful what hes done for us but get rid

 

He's been ****e

 

I can't see Rigg lasting past half time, this looks like it's just a run out for him ...

... in fact there's a few players needing to improve their fitness.

 

Been 10x better than Rigg though. Would be better off switching them over.

 

This is a poor opening 30. Good quality players loafing about getting out grafted.
