*****Official Sunderland v Pompey Play Off 1st Leg Thread*****

[Deleted member 26022]

A lot of our better performances this season have been when McGeouch or Leadbitter have played. Cannot understand why they’ve been jettisoned.

Beats the hell out of me too, no Sterling as well bizzare or Maguire

 

[jackynutmeg]

Ominous stuff so far, wyke very isolated, look toothless and can’t get any possession of the ball

Our forwards always are.
Honeyman the playmaker

 

[RossTheNinja]

I was going to say, if we're going to score it'll have to be from a set piece, but we don't have anyone to take them.

 

[peil]

I don't live in Paisley (although I did grow up there though and I'm still a ST holder for the Saints ).

I'm sat on the Clydeside Riveria (Clydebank)

 

[The Cookie Monster]

McGeady all but ended our hopes imo. The team we have out is poor. We usually start well but haven't even managed that this time. Doesn't appear to be any shape or plan so far...

 

[gazc24]

Lone striker incredibly isolated

There's islands in the Pacific that are closer to him

 

[Tin Soldier]

Utterly bereft going forward

 

[sedling]

This is not very good, I’m afraid..

 

[Pepe]

If they score first I will be very worried.

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Must be something wrong with the vertical hold on my TV, all our lads look like midgets compared to Pompey's players

We haven't had a 'big' side for years.

 

[Walmo]

We look like dopey hobbits.

 

[Ken Tishtown]

Lone striker incredibly isolated

Where is Honeyman? Is he off getting treatment

 

[chuckyroll]

Ominous stuff so far, wyke very isolated, look toothless and can’t get any possession of the ball

How come many fans see this yet he who knows looks lost

 

[The Exile]

Needs someone to get a grip on this and fast.

What an embarrassment you are

 

[Narraback]

If we need evidence as to why we finished in our lowest position in our history then this is it.

 

[The Other Durham]

After watching the two Championship playoff games I can't imagine how bad we'd fare in that league even if we changed out half of the squad.

 

[Ken Tishtown]

I’m sorry but he should never be cheating that down in the box. What are we doing

 

[Paolo's Right Hand]

We look f***ing terrible man

 

[Wise Man Says]

We look like dopey hobbits.
