*~*~* Sunderland v Plymouth match thread *~*~*

Maybe if we didn't start and end the game defensively against a side pumped 5-0 by a riva last time outl, not won in about 14 games, and bottom of the table, then folk might not be so disappointed at the final whistle.

Theres disappointment and theres booing.

Automatics are gone, not because of this one result today, but what the result solidified, that we can't beat the teams we should comfortably beat and we can't see out a game on a consistent basis.

Wish RLB would learn his lesson that throwing on big CBs and sitting back inviting pressure is not the way to see out a game. We must have dropped more points in the last 10 mins than any other team in English professional football this season.

Exactly he talks about being positive to kill games and then sits back against the bottom team
Same could have happened v Portsmouth
 
Of course today was hugely disappointing, the lineup, tactics and substitutions questionable, the performance sub-par, but to say we're out of the automatics equation is just arrant nonsense. Do the disappointment, but use your spongy head organ.

Fair play to Plymouth. They've taken 4 points from our two games.
They got hammered by 5 goals three days ago off Burnley and bounced back really well.
Their morale must have been on the floor going into this game and yet... 🤷‍♂️

and yet they still only managed a disappointing draw against us. Missed two sitters and they'll be gutted.
 
I'm normally level headed and philosophical about Sunderland, but this result today is unbelievable.

They had scored 3 goals in their previous 13 away matches, ffs they were probably unlucky not to double that tally against us today.

It makes you wonder where it leaves us re our promotion ambitions, absolutely deflating :(
 
I’m fuckin livid at RLB for that. Poor team selection, changing a winning team, taking out the guy who scored the winner midweek, going more defensive to a team bottom of the league who cored three away all season….then to cap it all his subs just invited pressure. Players looked clueless and I’m not surprised after that disastrous managerial performance

One thing us being over confident - though i never am these days - but it was the manager that started the line up. That smacked of over confidence

Agreed. However, some on here say Rigg needed a rest (he was rested) some cry out for Roberts when he's not on, others say he should be subbed and shouldnt be on the pitch. Some slate Ballard, some Lord Ballard, some slate Onien some Lord him. Ultimately, the players, whatever combination is used are responsible for keeping the ball out of our net and sticking it in the other one. The manager needs to grip them big time when they don't, but too many poor on-field performances from the players lead to crap results. Plymouth are honking.
