*~*~* Blackburn v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[kingkeane]

Positives - we didn't lose and there's a 6 point gap between the top 4 and below.

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

Mayendas 2 goals this season where on a plate, he’s a poor finisher with zero composure in the last 3rd

 

[Drexl]

Unforgivable? So no matter what he does in his Sunderland career you won't forgive him? Weird.

The action, not the bloke. Weird comment trying to make it out like I wouldn’t forgive him ever

 

[turbo bratwurst]

Probably prefer auchiche on wing to mayenda, just too raw at moment, think his great cross for the goal last week was a fluke

 

[wigwams]

If Mepham had cleared the ball out we probably wouldn’t even be discussing it, its called football.

Yep. Really poor at the back for their equaliser

 

[gluepot]

disappointing but can't complain too much, they shouldve been 3 up early on, hope riggy is ok

 

[Good Teeth Keith]

Good point that really. In-line with the Arsene Wenger formula, get a draw away against your rivals and beat them at home

 

[Lord Nigle]

It really is not a case of someone playing badly and needing to be taken off. When the opposition bring on half a team of fresh legs you have to respond. 11 sets of tired legs cannot cope with that.

Absolutely this. Bring on your own fresh legs to nullify their subs. Shocking inaction by Regis there

 

[Be Here Now]

Once again this forum is the absoulte pits of "fans"


Make changes - concede - changes were wank etc etc

doesn't make changes - RLB fault

blah blah blah


f***ing joke this forum some times. - take a point away from home against one of the form team's in the division - all day long



Overreactions ridiculous


If you asked everyone in this group - 3 defeats in 23 at the begining of the season - every single person would have snapped their hands off

Best fans in the world

And it’s a problem. We concede a lot of late goals. When other sides (particularly the top half teams) have nearly half an outfield side with fresh legs and we’ve made one change it asks an awful lot for young lads who’ve played a lot of games. It’s unfathomable sometimes

The way Rigg went off it looks like he’ll have a spell out. So that’s Browne, Samed and Rigg out. Hope Kyril’s got some cheques in his book.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

This young bunch of lads are far away from Moyes' last of the summer wine signings.. they are a pleasure to watch.

 

[Lonz]

Mayenda should have scored one on one with the keeper just showed how crap he is

He should’ve done much better, naturally getting a shot in. Plenty of room and time for him to improve though.

 

[Sarcoid Kid]

We’re doing well but we certainly could be doing better. It’s so frustrating.

Let's go back to mid table L1 mediocrity to keep everyone happy then.

 

[Select coaches]

Millwall, Coventry and Blackburn. 6 points down the drain.

What about our 90thminute goals?

 

[Fez2]

There’s surely a direct correlation between tired players, lack of subs and late goals conceded.

 

[Boo]

I feel that it’s moments like that equaliser which mark the difference between a top two side and play-off contenders.

 

[sarboas]

Young Mayenda cost us, not only with his chance but with the weak attempt to stop the cross for their second. Frustrating, but he’ll learn from it.

 

[Mowgli]

Get on mundle or Watson in that game and we'd have won comfortably.

Can't get them back soon enough

 

[sunderpitt]

Now we are just waiting for the top top players coming into the squad on the January window.

 

[Sir dave]

That’s Rigg and Mundle that may have still been fit if we made subs earlier. RLB is doing an amazing job but lack of subs is costing us

Doesn’t trust who’s on the bench to come on and change the game
