Mepham is just superb. Easily a step above in our squad.

I know people had that daft thread about Clarke .. but we do miss him.

Bang average first half but we need to win. Simple as.. we need to get momentum back

We haven't missed him as much as we thought when Mundle has played as the team offered something different. We are trying to blood young Watson but West Brom know that and are trying to target him a bit.

West Brom really do sit back and deep. It's hard to break down and is everything we struggle against. Time to mix it up 2nd half but I can see a Jobe long shot , or break into the middle for a 1 0 win to us. We haven't played bad. They have just frustrated us. Remember their team sheet and tactics changed last minute so halftime will give some time for us to work it out.

Watson isn’t ready to start games at this level. Lot of potential but should be a sub.

Needs must after Mundle’s injury though.

He’s offers something going forward but he really needs to work on his defensive side and needs to get stuck in more. Work needed on his strength too as he goes down easier than Katie Price.
 
Very poor half of football need to pass quicker or someone has to go past a man. I would bring on Mayenda for Watson who looks way to light currently really missing Mundle and Cirkin down the left.

Sunderland fans underestimating WBA

Not underestimating them, I just think they are shit. Defended fine but offering nowt going forward. We are finding it very easy to get the ball back off them, though we're not doing anything with it when we do. I'll probably get a kick in the teeth when we sit back in the second half, as we do 🤷‍♂️
 
Got in behind quite a few times down our left and a couple of dangerous balls in but no one on the end of them. Need more runners into the box in the 2nd half.
 
For two midfielders, except from a few good touches, Jobe and Rigg have been anonymous. I fear Watson is a Roberts Mark 2, both always cutting inside, trying ridiculous shots, and little end product. Jobe and Rigg getting more involved will mean Isidor gets chances too, though I realise their defensive line doesn't make it easy. I don't get how we're so shocking at free kicks and corners, you'd think we never practice them.
