*~*~* Sunderland v Stoke match thread *~*~*

[yamar1]

We aren't back to our best but at least we are back to wining ways.

Bristol City thrashed at Portsmouth this afternoon - we play BC next week.

Had to win that today like, will do the lads the world of good, a good performance and 3pts in the bag after a dodgy run. Watson had a dream of a game, will bring his confidence on leaps and bounds.

Overall a perfect day bar the leeds win.

Bloody bastard brilliant that. Thought it wasn’t going to happen then Tommy finds a winner. Minging conditions but worth it

 

[Safc98]

Aye people are great knocking Speakman when signings don't work out but go very quiet when someone like Watson & Mundle come along.

Which I find strange tbh. Criticism when warranted is fine but why not give praise when it goes well.

The weather was awful wasn't it? Hopefully the game and the result made it all worthwhile.

Great result on the back of the weather and a awful performance.

It wasn't awful.

Your not trying to say it was a good one? Conditions were bad but some of the choices the lads made when trying to pass????????

Watching on the telly I thought he had a quiet game until they showed his touches map. He was everywhere and obviously very influential. I blame the crummy commentary on these Sky Plus games.
I'm also popping into Specsavers Monday

He was cruising first half. He is way above this level

We played better than Stoke.
We won.
Our young players looked good.
Our GK made a crucial save.
We could be better, but we were not awful.

Good three points, mate. The season is played over 40 odd matches. Better days will come but they were very decent in those conditions. There's a reason why the team has lost three times in nineteen matches and are two points off top.

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

I enjoyed today. Weather was nuts. Lost feeling in me fingers for a couple of hours but we were well deserving of the win. Created a lot of clear cut chances which we weren't doing three or four games back.

Positive signs. Just a shame I've missed about 300 trains getting homd so far.

 

[geordiemushroomheid]

A lot of those who sit near the front will of moved elsewhere in that weather. Pats on backs to anyone who braved today's conditions

Yeah lots in the front of the south stand moved to stand at the back

A totally deserved win with do many opportunities, some cracking attacking football in awful conditions.

Just need to put more chances away, but with such a young squad we are in the right direction!

Are you having a laugh?

 

[Fact Hunt]

Are you having a laugh?

He’s an attention-seeker.

 

[CaptainRed]

Reasonable performance, poor attendance, non existent atmosphere but ultimately 3 points and that's all that matters!

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Aye Bernie it’s my grand cat belongs to my son

We've got one as well.
