Makes sense, anyone who saw our Plymouth game will know if you get on top early you could get something from the game. They probably believed there was more chance of getting a result against us than Leeds as it takes us way too long to start playing. Luton will fully believe they can get something tomorrow so the pressure is on us to come flying out of the blocks and not sit too deep inviting pressure
Leeds starting Xl tonight cost them over £100m. Not to mention the bench full of quality. If we finish a point behind them I’d be happy
Bang on mate. We haven’t had recent PL money, we shouldn’t be comparing our squad to those that have. We shouldn’t spend more time focusing on the beauty we have in our squad that has been discovered, planned and developed.
The reality is that we only need to win around another half a dozen games to end up in the PL ... ... seriously, if that doesn't get people excited I've no idea what they want tbh.
Sorry mate but i don’t think Watford have just came up here and only turned up for us. They’d lost 9 out of 16 away games so far this season they’re not good away from home we just let them dictate the first half. Neil was moved forward and Samed sat deep with Rigg not really doing much, we lacked energy big style and let their midfielders run us about that’s all there was to it. It’s not coincidence imo that we’ve played Neil and Samed together twice against Watford and Plymouth and both times we’ve been ****e. Of course Cleverly is going to big them up they’ve taken a point on the road from a good team when they normally get beaten, he’s hardly going to say they were lucky
More teams seem to get cramp, against Sunderland, than any other team … … is there extra time at Wembley
read @Smug in Boots post even their own manager said it was the most effort they’ve put in all season
Your obsession with Watford is much appreciated (especially at this minute !).If you're quick you may be able to buy a Season Ticket for the next season
We've only just played Watford so have been talking about them and again tonight because they're playing Leeds .. ... by the way, WTF are you doing posting on a Sunderland forum when your team is actually playing. Now that's what I call obsessed
over the last 2 games rigg has had 3 chances laid on to him on the pen spot and not looked like scoring once, we definitely lack killer instinct. also on being relentless, we're built to play without possession, this gives the other team confidence as they see a lot of the ball. And Jobe was missing sunday and samed is not the profile of player we needed in the middle. its a shoot out between us burnley and sheffield, we need 10 wins minimum, still torn but probably best leeds beat burnley/sheffield, unless we beat them monday.
Most frustrating thing about us, we can create excellent chances at vital points but we never take them. Blackburn away we should’ve scored 4 or 5 and missed a boat load of chances at 2-1 and even at 2-2
This was the big problem for me. They had 3 real battlers of centre midfielders on the pitch plus Sissoko drifting inside to become a 4 at times against Rigg and Neil who couldn’t get close to them then Samed was sitting deeper again because he’s a proper defence minded DM. Felt like their midfielders were everywhere at times and we couldn’t cope with it. Defo missed Jobe in the middle like! I think Rigg needs a rest natural that a 17 year old lad will blow hot and cold especially playing so much football
Coventry look dreadful here, QPR look the more likely ... ... especially now they've taken Colback off
Some goal that from Piroe. These are by far the best team in the league. I'm watching a dodgy stream and the Leeds commentator is virtually w@nking over the performance. Had to mute the sound.
