Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Wigan Athletic FC – Saturday 15th October 2022 - KO 15:00

Ballard was voted Millwalls young player of the year last season. That says it all

 

0-1 Wyke

 

Roberts is up for it today. Needs someone to exploit the space created by him taking 3 players out of position.

 

They nearly made the playoffs aswell, and he played nearly every game

 

**** sake

 

Ffs

 

Yep

 

Long afternoon ahead

 

We know we always require more goals than the ex players score.

 

True but they'll sit back now.

Embleton and Neil need to show up imo.

 

Charlies back.........................................haunted again

We're literally hanging on now for the World cup and to start afresh in Jan.
Injuries have once again ruined us

 

bottom three shortly the way this is going

 

Alese has been further up the field than any other Sunderland for most of the first half. The only chance of him being involved in the game is if we played long balls up the wing. He's not an option for the ball in the transition and he was nowhere to be seen in defence. Utterly bizarre performance.

Dan Neil is often filling the left wing back spot when bringing the ball forward. Is there some tactical switch that I'm completely missing?

 

The 2 games against Watford and Reading gave us a false sense of security....Having no strikers is beginning to hurt now.

 

Yeah but well stay up once we get nearly 30m worth of players back. We've had no luck

 

HT 0-1

 

15th

 

Hard to take but old heads are an advantage, we need to stay calm and take our chances, easy said but do-able, that was Wykes first goal of the season by the way.
