++++++ Sunderland v Charlton match thread ++++++

[DonaldDownTheWing]

No. Should Sunderland have been able to replicate the mighty Luton, Coventry, Barnsley, Hull and whoever the fuck else?

It’s mental. People think 6 times champions of England shouldn’t win every week.

Can’t agree with this. Their keeper made a couple of good saves first half and we hit the post in the second.

Just wasn’t our day.

Missed the first 10mins. I didn’t see either keeper make any saves. Poor performance and zero urgency

I’ve been told by a few lads that actually know the ref. He’s 100% a mag.

We still should've been better and had more than enough to beat them today.

We looked flat from the start. It happens. Hopefully better next match.

 

[TeamOfTalents]

That was like the match last season when they won. Outmuscled

 

[Chop Sauce]

Johnson won’t take us up.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

O'Nien was the worst player on the pitch today. Terrible.

Aye fuck I blocked it out my brain.

Some people will never criticise…….they can’t bring themselves to do it.

Works both ways. Some find it hard to praise and very very vocal in giving grief.
You're a prime example.

Just as some people only appear on here TO criticise.

Johnson won’t take us up.

I’d like to think he will but I doubt he will. He’s useless.

 

[Two million voices]

Don’t give a fuck about the ref. I’m more concerned how shit we played and how we couldn’t cope against a team who had George Dobson playing.

 

[Doeboy]

We just looked lethargic nothing more to it

I just have higher standards.

Toss up between him and McGeady mind.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Some people have negative personalities. They dwell on the obvious negatives (we played crap and deserved to lose) but then need to find more.

So they say things like "We were dominated by Dobson/Bridcutt/Honeyman etc". Often these ex players haven't actually dominated us, often theyre actually quite poor, but because they are an ex player they stand out more because we recognise them.

But to a negative person its another thing to dwell on, to make you feel even more bad about the situation.

It's not a healthy mind set mate, negativity breeds negativity and it spills into other parts of you life.

HE had a very poor game

I’ve been told I’m a bedwetter for 4 seasons now but strangely I’m finding the club still not learning from mistakes in league one.

No you're a whinger. Don't hide behind bollocks like you have higher standards. There's loads like you tbf.

 

[The Rolls Royce]

It's not a healthy mind set mate, negativity breeds negativity and it spills into other parts of you life.

Sometimes I think its a defence mechanism to avoid getting their hopes up in case they get disappointed.

Other times I think its just a habitual pattern of thinking.

Often I think its people wanting to be "first" so they can say "I told you so".

that's how you play against us ,we're far too soft

 

[Perryqhill]

I disagree we've all but carried him in most games. It's a conundrum, it's not a Leadbitter situation and his legs have gone. He still looks fit but has offered zero threat compared to last year.

Absolute bullshit. Theres a difference between someone getting older and playing with his head and utilising his quality, utilising the pace and overlapping of people around him as we've done this season and someone not being up to it or not contributing.

Too many want Aiden McGeady of 2018/19 and at 35 it's not going to happen. We've varied our play this season and McGeady has played a big part of that, even if he was poor today.
