*~*~* Sunderland v Doncaster match thread *~*~*

[The Cabbage]

We essentially ran a back 5 with wing backs. We were unbeaten under that iirc. So of course we let one of our few senior CBs go and revert to 4 at the back which we've been pumped multiple times under

We’re playing a 5 today and getting pumped by the bottom club. It’s not about formation - it’s about balance between attack and defence, plus graft. With Neil and Embleton in midfield we’re basically giving an open invite for teams to get at our defence.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Gooch and Embleton coming out for the second half would be a f***ing insult to every person there. f***ing cowards the pair of them

You could say that about any of them.

 

[safc9450]

Fully deserved. Should be three up really.

Absolutely fuming that we've picked the same team as last week. What were they expecting??

Same result. Science say's so.

 

[mediaclee]

Embleton found out, anonymous. Technical ability but never a winger, not even the best number 10 in the team and never a centre mid.

Gooch is shite and the apologists can fuck off.

Neil in a midfield pivot? Lad can’t make a tackle and has been shite for weeks.

Evans is leggy and with Neil alongside him it’s a recipe for disaster. Neither of them compliment each other.

Winchester poor for weeks, never a full back, whilst having NI international fullback on the bench.

Doyle making mistakes week after week now and never withdrawn from the firing line.

It’s damning and you can’t disagree with any of it.

Not a single point wrong. You forget about the shit scared goalkeeper who couldn’t catch a cold.

 

[janey]

Can’t decide whether I’d want Defoe on or not.
I mean obviously there is a chance he will score, but, for his sake, why tar him as even having played a part in this.

 

[Morse]

I think it’s clear now that LJ wasn’t the problem

Are you shitting me? Jesus wept, man!

 

[Boot Cleaner]

When they said dodds was in charge I didn't realise it was the c*nt from Mike Bassett

 

[Blyth]

Batth is a disgrace of a defender

He looks rancid. Like a doorman that’s been asked if he fancied a game

 

[Teed]

That’s the spirit!

Must be, beer wouldn't get him that drunk.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

The lowest I”ve felt as a Sunderland fan, those players are a disgrace

 

[jackynutmeg]

I think it’s clear now that LJ wasn’t the problem

Why's that?
The caretaker team have just continued his theme

 

[Fetch Fletch]

He should be mate

The thing that's boiled my piss is that why make signings and not play them after the last couple of weeks. Why have no manager plan and WHY f***ing pick THAT TEAM. Proctor wants shoeing tbh. He hates us.

 

[Shandy drinker]

No mental strength
We lose 6-0 last week
They lose 5-0 midweek
Yet Doncaster a team bottom of the league are leading 2-0

 

[Flavonoids]

I've no idea how Hoffman, even after he's decided not to come can't just bend down and pick that up, or at the very least just stop it with his foot. I thunderbolt into the corner it wasn't!

 

[Whitburnmakem]

Wtf is Winchester doing for that first goal rushing into midfield

 

[Deleted member 45378]

Hate to say it ...but credit to Doncaster ...bottom of the league ...beat by 5 midweek ...but had no fear playing us and showed balls and fight

 

[LeeBarry]

Jack diamond scored twice for Harrogate today
Just saying

In league 2

 

[chuckyroll]

No way was Proctor going to change the line up from previous

You serious. We've been humped 6 nil you have to change it.

 

[officerbill]

We’ll win this 4-2 but shocking first half display

Dream on...

 

[wisemensaysteve]

I've changed my mind, Roy Keane in
