*~*~* Sunderland v Mansfield Town match thread *~*~*

[Unlucky Black Cat]

Just got in after a bike ride/ is it worth watching the second half? Did I miss anything?

Your tenner will get you extra time and penalties, so, yes, it's worth watching!

 

[chuckyroll]

Couldn't stand Moyes but this fucker is pushing him for the most dour manager ever.

 

[MarcoG]

What the fuck was he doing when he played on the left of the central three?! He was further over than the f***ing wing back. Abject.

He's been doing it most of the season, he just seems to drift into the least dangerous positions possible and takes up useless space.

Compare it to Gooch the other night who isn't great in that role but can actually get involved and makes something happen.

 

[Wayne The Punk]

Like the look of McFadzean. Diamond having a good game. But for God's sake, has Parkinson not figured out that Dobson and Power together in the middle simply does not work?

thats a no

 

[hank williams]

Those tuning infor the international broadcast next week are in for a treat and no mistake.

Person who chose our game must've been on a right bender

 

[becs]

That mist is rolling in quicker than our midfield.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

He was dire early on and gave the ball away far too cheaply. Hes had a few positive moments as the half wore on.

Yeah he did but he's a young player learning the game. I am much more concerned about Max Power giving the ball away all of the time.

Couldn't stand Moyes but this fucker is pushing him for the most dour manager ever.

As much as i loathe the man i would find it hard to believe moyes wouldn't be doing significantly better with the team at this level

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Those tuning infor the international broadcast next week are in for a treat and no mistake.

It'll be like why people watch soaps on Christmas Day. To remind you that there is always someone worse off

If someone told us we’d be promoted this season, go out of the cups early, play shite football all season and fail to bring any you talent through ..... most of us would take it.

That’s about eh best we can hope for at the moment. How f***ing depressing is that !?

 

[Marty Moose]

How much did we pay for george dobson?

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Dobson what the actual fuck are you doing

 

[hank williams]

Save Matthews I feel more confident with him in goal than Burge

 

[flusheding]

@flusheding any chance of replays of our chances? Thinking mainly of Graham's miss, just got in and missed paying for the match plus I'm at work tonight so will try and get some sleep

These are the key two, looked back over James Hunter's twitter to try and find the times of any chances he is reporting and couldn't see anything else. Nothing sticks out in my mind either.

Can be positive and shite mind. He's very attacking minded, which of course is positive. But he's done nothing of note.

Whats with calling a lad shite in about his third professional appearance man.

He's made some good runs and put in some decent balls. He's been decent enough. Gives the ball away cheaply sometimes but he has time to learn.

£200k I think

 

[King Kareoke]

Give the lad a chance, he did concede possession 3 or 4 times in the first 15, but not in dangerous positions. He came into the game a lot as the half wore on.

Agree about Grigg/Graham.

Well said let's in typical fashion write someone off after 15 minutes. If we stick with the younger players which I believe we should they will have good and bad games

 

[McGregor]

Give the lad a chance, he did concede possession 3 or 4 times in the first 15, but not in dangerous positions. He came into the game a lot as the half wore on.

Agree about Grigg/Graham.

I think he's a great prospect, I think he could of done better this match so far.. Hopefully the second half he shows us what he's got.

 

[InsomniacAttack]

That mist is rolling in quicker than our midfield.

Yes but the mist is an ethereal non-solid. Whereas Dobson is a 5 foot summit stack of shite.

 

[hertsmackem]

I’m in herts and just got in myself- lovely sunny ride south of St. Albans- how about you?
Sounds like we did the right thing!!!

nearer to Kings Langley, did Chenies Amersham Latimer and Chorleywood, everyone was out today on their bikes, and i got the obligatory puncture
