Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Brentford FC - Saturday 30th August 2025 - KO 15:00

Adingra seems frightened to take anyone on from what I've seen so far. Stops when faced by the defender and passes back.

 

Haway

 

Must have been watching roberts in training

 

HAWAY YA BASTADS.

Sitting having a very expensive lunch in Edinburgh, so put an extra wide smile on my puss!!

Bart

 

Same team, same 4'3'3' formation as far as I can seet , same result as against Burnley will be fine as long as someone can fill Ballards shoes. Having ElF central would be my ideal , but we will see. Interesting to see how Henderson fares , hopefully not too well . HTL OaU.

 

Hendo enjoying his return singing along to "Can't help falling in love".

I like that we didn't force the playing out from the back at that first goal kick. It was clearly the plan but Brentford had 2 players ready to press so we went long instead. I'm happy to play from the back when it's on, can't be making mistakes like Trafford did for City last week - it'll be hard enough anyway without that.

 

Alderete passing, wow!

 

Please let that be a warning

I dare us to score

 

Nervous.

 

W can get the Ball into the box ok, but we need someone to get it from the Box into the Net!!!

 

Great half this

 

Sarcasm?

 

Wouldn't of thought so? Played well imo!

 

No not at all we've been by far the better team

 

Sounds good…

 

Half timr

 

Played well so far but that final ball and decision making in the final third just needs to improve a notch.

Need to move ELF central and get Adingra on for Sadiki for me.

 

My stream has gone down so missed the last 15-20mins! How we doing?

 

We've dominated possession but lacking any cutting edge when we get in and around their box.
We dont have a big target man so im not sure why we keep crossing it into the box all the time

 

Pretty good. Nice pass and move football. Lovely to watch at times. Sometimes need to be a bit more incisive. Some cracking crosses into the box.
