Match Day Thread Crewe Alexandra v Sunderland - Saturday 27th February - KO 15:00

That's right and we didn't have a decent Full Back either

 

A Sunderland draw, two great goals and a Wolves win would be canworthy ....

.. I have adequate reserves.

 

We need to get a proper CH along side Sanderson. If it's Younger or someone else then so be it but we won't get away with that sort of stuff very often. Need Oniens energy in midfield. Jones needs to come in for gooch and O'Brien must be looking over his shoulder. Needs freshening up a bit.

 

When Flanners is available, might be able to shove him at LB.

 

All three probably. We are a point closer to the automatic second spot after to day but it could have been all so much better.

 

We were our own worst enemies at times, but two wonderful goals to get us level..

 

Sunderland have the easiest game in midweek, will win and other teams will drop points ...

... this broadcast came to you from SAFC OptimistsR-Us

 

Before the Donny game, someone posted the next five games. I said I would be happy with 11 points from those. Crewe was one of those games I had us dropping points in. Win the next one and we will actually have got 13 points out of 15.

 

Sunderland 0 Swindon 1

 

It feels like we've been borrowed 2 top end Championship level players but been told we're only allowed to play them if we really have to

 

As long as we finish in the playoffs I would strongly fancy us to go up. There's goals and fight in this team and the defence should be stable by then.

 

Agree with all of that, but who to play at LB is a problem that needs solving. McFad is not good enough and Vokins hasn't exactly inspired confidence.

 

He’s becoming a liability to the team at this point. There isn’t one thing I think he does well. I’d probably prefer McLaughlin at left back if vokins isn’t up to it either

 

They are a good team. Probably played at the top of their game today and caught us on an off day
We were poor and at times looked a mess but hung in. The manager made changes and we got a point.
For me sign of a good team and team spirit.

That point has actually moved us up to 6 points behind 2nd with two very winnable home games to come.

When Keane got us promoted every one said we stormed the second half of the season
We did but until the final run in we actually won 3 drew away won 3 drew away won 3 drew away

Today was a really good point and hopefully LJ has leaned a bit more.
Onwards and upwards KTF

 

Anybody see Sanderson sprint over to congratulate McGuire. He's ours I'm telling you.

 

Dont play one play 3/4/3 I will not say it again promise.

 

He's played Full Back before at Burton.

 

Midweek fixtures, sure to be some drama.
