*****Barnsley V Sunderland Match Thread*****

Are Sunderland not allowed to lose a game in the Championship?

People are going on like they expected us to go unbeaten with a record points total.

These are games you expect to win if you're going to be in and around the top 6. Barnsley have been awful in 2017 and lost their best players

You'd like to think some of them would look at the sight of 4000 away fans and think I'm going to do the job I'm paid to do and win their personal battles. How many times do we have to see forlorn lunges from Cattermole or Grabban sticking his toe in as opposed to ensuring he gets stuck in. I hate these kernts at times.

 

[Daffy]

Because he is terrible, hopefully westham will make a mistake and buy him, he has no positional sense, he cant pass a ball and he is soft as shite.

£14m remember

To be still in a game after 75 minutes has to be our aim going forward

If we get a first goal early on Barnsley will suddenly start to feel tired

 

[RichD]

Our midfield is as solid as jelly...

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Slagging the lads off on the radio

 

[PS]

Boo...
My first boo this season. So actually this is an improvement on previous years. A positive !

 

[Horace Cope]

I said ages ago we should’ve moved Cattermole on. We needed a clean break from the dross that has let to our downfall. Somehow he’s still here still the main man.

We won’t go anywhere with this midfield as it stands

 

[Teed]

Sounds like out poor little cherubs are upset.

 

[---Nemo---]

Here's me thinking NDong has been our best player. It's not saying much mind but there you go.

 

[jesus juice]

Fuckers bet get back on that pitch and give those f***ing awesome travelling fans something to be proud about. The relentless abuse we have recieved over the years is wearing. Very wearing

 

[Mboma]

Seems like a lot of folk on here expected a walk in the park in this league, there's a lot more ups and downs yet, surely playoffs/midtable were the only possible targets for us this season with our budget.

 

[bucksoutcast]

We'll be lucky to stay in the league at this rate

I think we will pick up as the season develops, so do not think we will be relegated. But we really need to improve the mental strength of the team.

Our record signing, was he owned by one of Shorts subsidiary companies? We're we really paying down our debt rather than buying quality?

I feel we will still get something out of the game,2-2 bookmark it lads

2-2 isn't anywhere near good enough against such a poor Barnsley side. it would still be a disgrace.

I think we will get 2 goals this half, hopefully a draw.

What about Cardiffs budget or Ipswich budget? Both teams top and won all their games because they're well drilled and play well as a unit.

The wages we are paying out will be 3x some of these sides.

 

[Smartie]

If this team has got anything about them, they'll come out and give it a good go now. They can easily get back into this.

It's not but I'd agree, although admittedly you wouldn't have to be Beckenbauer to stand out it this lot. The prospect of this team without NDong is terrifying and I've a little sick in my mouth just saying that.
