*~*~* Sunderland v West Brom match thread *~*~*

Charlie Mepham is f***ing quality

Don’t have my glasses thought that said Methven

 

[Scotty 1978]

We’re in control of the game, but not really threatening

 

[poolie]

mepham has got to be the best defender in this league. Outstanding player.

 

[Arkle]

Mepham terrific, O'Nien all action, Watson is the king of winning free kicks and corners and having shots blocked. We need a bit of magic from Rigg or Jobe probably. They're well organised and can be decent going forward.

 

[vote quimby]

Mental we had all that possession and you're still left frustrated as fuck!

 

[supercollins2]

Need a spark from somewhere just don’t seem to know how to break them down, can also see us over committing and being hit on the break

 

[Unbalanced Views]

WBA managed to stifle us first half more or less, hopefully we can change it up second half and get some reward for our endeavours.

I tip my hat to anyone over there tonight, it looks freeeezing

 

[PointyFeatures]

Wilson LW, AC in the middle & Mayenda RW for the last 20

 

[LondonMackem]

Poor half - for all the possession we’ve had we haven’t laid a glove on them . Dunno what’s happened to us in the last few weeks, we’ve become so passive

WBA look like they’re playing for a point. Including their kit colour feels like we’re playing Oxford with 10 men behind the ball

 

[Blame Me]

Good half, controlled the game, Watson a little light weight, it will come good for him though as he's still a youngun. We just lack a bit in the box. They are shit, we'll win this.

 

[woodlebert]

I rate Watson as highly as anyone and am really pleased to see him being given a chance, but he struggled badly there.

Can't be helping not having a left footer overlapping him like.

He’s a transition player. He needs space. Not sure he has the trickery for a team sitting back

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

Commentators have got to be having a laugh. Making it out as if West Brom have done a great job so far. Like it was their game plan to come and get completely dominated for a half. Very little compliments to Sunderland for doing so!

Dominated but created 0

 

[The]

He’s been our best player this season IMO. Him, Jobe and Cirkin particularly just look a bit of a level above the rest.

His positioning is always one step ahead. Blokes playing 4d chess.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Roberts has absolutey zero end product

Once every 4 or 5 games he does something sublime. But otherwise every time he cuts in I just turn away

 

[s1black2000]

Frustrating watch that mind. Watson bloody raw. One good thing one bad thing, young lad so to be expected

Watson needs to learn to knock it on a half a yard and then shoot. Every shot has been blocked, but he's had 5 shots !!

 

[Fletch]

Plenty possession and did well to win it back But we haven’t tested their keeper once

 

[BumbleBee]

I’m going to say something f***ing batshit here.



Put Ba on the right.

West Brom draw a load of games for a reason, they are very organised. They also have Maja who can score something from very little with a clever flick or trick. We've been on top and now lets see how we can change it up second half with a half time team talk.

 

[Daffy]

Get Mayenda on for Roberts.

Why
Whats he done wrong

 

[McMackem]

Dominated that, but of course without scoring - plenty of build up but next to nothing even resulting in a decent chance. Problem is we’re on a run of being poorer second half. Nice if we break that today.
