*~*~* Sunderland v Blackburn Rovers match thread *~*~*

[rubberface]

That was for the cone man

How can people stand and clap players coming towards them after a thumping at home off a 4th bottom team and who hadn't won in 128 days!! Our fans man...love rolling over and getting their bellies tickled.

That’s our joint worst home defeat in 66 years since we lost 6-1 at home to Birmingham in Apr 58.

Case to be made that both O'Nein and Dan Neil put in their worst performance in a Sunderland shirt today. If them two in particular are doing that then it's a pretty big sign the result's not gonna be great.

Imagine being Cardiff and getting beat off us, man haha

Aye. And Cardiff win at Coventry today.

Just shows - in this division, if you turn up half arsed you can hammered off anybody.

Incredible performance from top to bottom. Owned and ran by complete kernts who could not give a fuck apart from trying to penny pinch

Howling with laughter as to just how utterly shit they really are

Frankly he’s garbage and should be nowhere near a professional football club

He's a youth team coach with crap tactical ability. Considering how poor our defence was first half and how pointless Roberts was, dodds starts same line up and formation in the second half. I looked at his reaction when the third went in - he was livid with the players. The arsehole coach who hadn't changed a thing was surprised we conceded again. Terrible coach and harming the club keeping him employed anywhere near the first team.

Difference from Friday to now is mental.

Our support was shite though. Never made a sound from the first minute. Our kid prefers away games and I can see why. Should have been with them from the start, especially coming off a win. Doesn’t excuse what happened on the pitch but first 10-15 we did ok and we should have been right behind them, then it all went wrong. I don’t blame people for leaving but equally don’t moan at people who stay till the end and applaud those who did put in an effort, few though they may be.

O'Nein spending all week typing emails

Again, it all broke down in midfield. Neil had a stinker, Ekwah needs to be marshalled non-stop to get the best out of him. Roberts is about 10% match fit, God knows how he started.
Thought Styles was decent enought but no options going forward. Hume keeps going missing at right back and dragging the CH's over to cover but he's a good attacking option.
Then as soon as it got to midfield, stupid mistakes and dallying on the ball and they're running forward en masse with a stretched defence.

Styles was rank second half like. Played in front of where I sit. Tried multiple times to dribble past opposition then was amazed they tackled him. Caught on his heels for at least 2 goals. He was equally as shite as the rest of them.

Today, as usual is not the supporters fault

Didn’t say it was the supporters at fault did it? Atmosphere at the ground has been poor all season though, and I don’t think it helps at all. Today was particularly bad.

 

[delilah 555]

Just seen the highlights, my honest opinion was your defence was shambolic and played like strangers , everything BB hit nearly went in , and tbh it was like watching Stoke but a freak result and onwards and upwards for you kids

He’s not the problem

Him and others are the problem

I blame the supporters, who turn up on a shite day. We dont expect to to see a team of Harry Kane s or kevin de Bruyne s, but we do expect players who pull on the shirt to actually give a sh1t and at least look like they are arsed, Starting eleven today were embarrassing

 

[halfpast3]

An absolutely shocking performance that.

 

[viccarlton]

Only good thing about today was I got to see me old marra @molthemackem back at the match after a recent illness, take care marra, I’m not sure today’s performance will have aided your recovery much.

Great to see you again and back to see me bairns. It didn't help mate but stuck it until the bitter end.

 

[Drexl]

We’ve dropped a player we bought in January, Hjelde, from his left back position to replace him with a player we loaned in January.

Both of them are absolutely garbage.
