*~*~* Preston v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Julio Mackemo]

I would run all owa if I was asked to play up front for Sunderland. Doesn't mean I'd be any good.

No coincidence that our worst 45 minutes of the season has come when we've went back to playing without a striker.

I never said he was playing well, just he’d ran arl owa

 

[Millhouse]

Think Watson has looked good myself.

If he’s been lost then fuckknows where Connolly and Isodor are

 

[Frasmotic]

Physio some delicate work with O'Nien at HT

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

We can only get better.

 

[Hodgie1979]

Think we have been shite for weeks and that isnt working....

 

[JOEJA]

Really cant see what browne offers. Passing overall very poor throughout. Apart from oxford been poor for a good few games now.

 

[SafcForever1879]

Preston half time - Please welcome back Mr President of the United States of America Donald Trump.

 

[eddie1987]

As has been the case in all his sub appearances, Connolly looks off the pace. Take him off at HT and put Mundle on.

 

[As You Were]

Really disjointed- no shape. Sorry but browne isn’t good enough. Need mundle on .

 

[Roker Mackem]

Well its amazing we’re at 0-0, I’ll take that…

This is terrible, front 3 are doing nothing, we have 3 in midfield, no idea where they are - Preston are just bypassing them, we can stop crosses coming in, we cant keep the ball, we’re second to every challenge, and if we were 3-0 down it would be fair.

Even if true its irrelevant coming from you

 

[The soap powder]

We are drawing 0-0 away from home so please lets not panic

RLB will change the shape but he doesnt make subs before 65 mins

 

[chuckyroll]

We were far from poor against Leeds, fine against Hull and much better 2nd half against Luton.
Qpr was one of those days but this has been poor

Add Preston to qpr

 

[Doberman]

Roberts and Mundle for Connolly and Watson... easy

I wouldn't be subbing Watson. Most of anything we've had going forward has went through Watson.

 

[MoneyballII]

Easy to point the finger at the front three but we’ve been generally very poor on the ball.

Midfield has struggled to play through the lines. Best pass of the half as been Mephams for Humes run.

Our possession has been along the back line when with a Roberts in particular we have a base to build from higher.

The whole teams hasn’t been on it. And we should be thankful for Moores excellent save.

Work to do Reggie lad. Solutions must be found, we’ve bigger the man up cos he’s constantly got things right, test is to put things right when they are going wrong.

Haway the lads.

 

[Happy_Layabout]

Struggling to get going. But on the few occasions we look like breaking they bundle into us to stop the play - ref not seeing the cynicism

 

[El Gen]

Connelly looks very weak up front.

Had one chance. Would have scored except for the brilliant tackle

 

[ChrisAshley]

Think Watson has looked good myself.

If he’s been lost then fuckknows where Connolly and Isodor are

This, Watson is out of position really. Isidor and Connolly may as well have not been on the pitch.

 

[riffraff]

Worrying how much we miss a 19 year old kid in midfield

Performances have slowly being going downhill ( Mainly down to teams seeing our weakness when pressed) but that's got to the worst of the lot this season. Couldn't even pass a ball.

It’s the other changes that are f***ing us up.

 

[safcpauluk]

He’s ran all over and managed to achieve nowt.
Gets knocked off ball too easily , is slow , can’t jump and is too small .
He’ll probably score a world now

Tap ins are always clinical tho

 

[Monument View]

It's like a half paced youth match it's appropriate to the age of most of our players
