Match Day Thread Sunderland v Hull City

He came back from an offside position
Unfortunately the right decision

 

Maybe they do. Today it is factual. I said you deserved to win it and you did. Let’s be honest though, the 4th place team losing at home to the 4th from bottom team generally needs the team higher up to play badly. We were poor today, but I thought you played well and deserved the 3 points. I’m not being salty by also stating it was our worst performance of the season. Missing 2 gilt edged chances and our keeper throwing one in the net is fairly evidentiary of that

 

Sounds like it was the deflection that mattered. Coming back from offside wouldn't matter if the ball had been played backwards

 

We’re good away from home having beaten Blackburn, Millwall, Sheffield United and Sunderland away. There’s no shame in it, we seem quite adept at beating teams away.

 

With another away game midweek I'm quietly confident we might finally be able to win back to back games

 

I’m not one for praising work rate over the top but I think Joseph’s shift today may have been one of the most gritty hard working displays I’ve ever seen. Shame he couldnt top it off with a goal

 

Called for it and they duly delivered, well done boys, this is the bench mark of commitment needed to the end of the season now, from what I saw, to a man they were terrific but Matazo, and especially Lincoln coming on were exceptional. We have the makings of a proper team, and Joseph up front is only gonna get better, he just needs a goal to get him started.

 

Wow. Optimism. You've jinxed it now.

 

**** off and get your bottles ready for tonight. Prick.

That's precisely why I'm "pessimistic" usually, it's a front to protect myself, but you don't know me so **** off and **** off some more. ****

 

Yes it would

 

Sounds like someone else has been on the bottles.

U OK Hun?

 

Its not a city thread without arguing

 

Feel the love.

 

No arguments here. A great performance by the team. 3 away points in a hard place. What’s not to like .?

 

Don't know whether I've missed it on here, do we have any info on the Barry injury?

 

They're not sure yet but Selles thinks it's potentially not as bad as first feared.

 

Listened to second half on the radio. The commentators thought we were all over the shop for the third quarter, lacking organisation and riding our luck big time. Subs were spot on, changed the game for us and made us much more solid again. Final quarter we looked just as likely to get a 2nd as Sunderland were to equalise. Said the break with the offside Crooks goal was the best opportunity of the game and it was very poor we didn’t score from it. Also had a lot of praise for the home crowd who stayed behind in numbers to help push Sunderland to get an equaliser.

Sound fair?

 

We are where we are due to abhorrently **** management. The players we have should be much higher up the table really, there’s some real individual quality in our side.

 

Was Crooks' cancelled goal offside? I thought it was for Joseph being pulled up for a "high" boot. Frankly I didn't see anything wrong with it but then I don't recall him being offside, if he was, fair enough.

 

Don’t know, not seen it yet. Commentators said it was incredibly tight but was the right call.
