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

[The Little General]

Agreed. Our midfield are also poor mind. Neil is a lovely passer of the ball but a liability defensively and Neil just doesn’t seem to own things. Their first goal today the key goal in the game came from piss weak retention and poor organisation in midfield. Hopefully Metete improves us. I know I’ll get rocks thrown at me for this but Neil needs to play from the bench on current form or we have to have a more solid midfield three.

Both Neil and Embleton from the bench.

Are we allowed to talk about how truly shite Gooch is or is he still protected because he come through the academy?

 

[chuckyroll]

If Keane has got the job, I bet they announce it tonight to try and save face

He may be having second thoughts

 

[safc9450]

I'd swap any of them for a decent groundsman.

Can he play full back ?

 

[SargentQ]

How the fuck is MP a coach never mind a temporary first team coach

 

[LeeBarry]

Looked like Bambi on ice but early days and probably a bit nervous.

If I was being subbed on in that scenario today I'd be f***ing nervous as well

 

[bomber]

It's 39 year defenders/keepers we need.

Why would you talk about Gooch today?

Seriously. There was much worse on the pitch.

 

[The Little General]

We seriously need a defensive coach alongside the overall coach. Our defense is shocking. I don't think I've ever seen it this bad.

 

[jcrossan]

Can he play full back ?

maybe..he could pick up the litter as well

 

[Taffyduck]

Play offs it is then lads

 

[sir rowell cummins]

There’s a game Tuesday. Fuck the process, give Keane what he wants and peddle these losers.

I do think that fannying about with his process has cost us three points mind which in turn could be promotion. They need to show some urgency. Why sack Johnson then have no clear plan. I know I’ll get pellets for this but we’d probably have won that under Johnson

Not too sure bout that

 

[PattTheKiwiCat]

The new lads really need to start starting now. Doyle, Neil, Embleton and Winchester need replacing with take your pick from the new lads.

Who are we going to replace Doyle with... Wrights crooked and we can only hope Arby is ready and up for it... I would be replacing Gooch and Embleton ASAP. Even though Flappy was off form a bit I still think crazy decision to let him go....

 

[Perryqhill]

f***ing give over. Strong on the ball, quick over the ground. He looked decent.

 

[shadowplay]

Hopefully Keane comes in and sorts them out because if not it’s playoffs at best once more.

I reckon play offs are the best we could get now anyway, unless there's a massive slump from one of the two.

There really wasn't!

Doyle has the gaming intelligence of a gnat. Sure he's technically good with the ball but he is not a defender.

 

[Perryqhill]

There really wasn't!

Of course there was. To say there wasn't is downright scandalous.

Can only hope Wright and/or Onien are due back sometime soon!
