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


Teams will be parking the bus against Burnley, Sheff Utd, Leeds etc. we’ve got to overcome that otherwise we will never get out of this league.
and they also do not win every game. We are still above Leeds and level with Burnley. we could be top of the table come Friday night. or not. We played ok tonight, but WBA defended well. It happens. Chin up.
 
When things were going well it was a case of fantastic defense and we created a few chances but with a high percentage of them scored.

It's still a very good defense but we are now too slow in transition, creating bugger all and not putting as many away.

I never thought we looked a top 2 team but of course the usual suspects started slowly so we were therefore best at the time.

They are rolling now and our PPG is now fairly poor with respect to top 2 context.
 
Gwell said marra. Some fuckin goons on here man…
I watched the first half with the sound turned off.
I honestly thought we were excellent.
They never got a fuckin sniff, and when they got the ball we just took it off them.
Really pleased and much more confident in all of them.
End product will come.
If you can be happy with a point, then I am very happy.

We will be up there when it matters.

Defence but you are correct mostly
 
Did anyone create loads? Did anyone stretch them? NO.

Was Watson one of our better attacking players? Yes.

Does he have to work on his defensive play? Also yes.

You’ll get no arguments from me on that.

But Watson had to go off. He was ineffective entirely in the second half, barely got on the ball and is an 18 year old lad who got roughed up a bit. It was the sub Le Bris got right.

Not sure I agree with this. They threw everything infront of the ball. We had has 2 shots on target but must be 8 blocks made by them they were everywhere
