[SKP130]

Dan Neil man

 

[DaveH]

What the hell was that from Neil?

 

[Madmartigan]

We are too slow as a team. Just far too slow.

Decision making passing, attacking, throw ins.. all too slow. We're just plodding along like a Sunday friendly with your mates.

 

[eejit]

Here the come

Gutted they had to wait 35 mins for a mistake

 

[Billy Batts]

Neil definitely needs to be rested next game

 

[G Force]

Neil has been far our best cm today but not that much competition tbf, jones is scared of passing ball anymore than 5 yards, and rigg is totally anonymous, again

I’d have given Aleksik a start in place of Rigg

Give Rigg a proper breather for a couple of games. Get him ready for the play offs

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

It’s almost like we have nowt to play for and everyone is taking it easy for the playoffs

It’s been like this for months!

Grinding out performances. It’s not hard to see why the atmosphere has been so flat. It’s a lot of slow, ponderous back and side passes from keeper, backline and midfield. Nothing particularly happens to get people off their seats.

Though that’s a general trend in how football is being played.

 

[Bg86]

Neil pulled off a beautiful driven pass to left wing a few weeks ago and has fucked up trying it again about 5 times since

 

[Boredom]

When do we reckon we’ll see a competent half of football?

Have you considered going to watch a different team?

I know Newcastle fans who are bigger supporters of Sunderland than you

 

[mad maxim]

Dan Neil having one of his better games in my opinion, very involved and trying to get us forward.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

We've looked good at times but can't keep it going.

 

[mackemglastoid]

Bit of a nothing half of football. I'm sure we'll be better second half. Hopefully Le Fee gets a good half an hour.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Have to admit I can’t remember us having a side with so many hated players.

 

[summaz]

It’s almost like we have nowt to play for and everyone is taking it easy for the playoffs

Looking forward to us blowing the playoffs apart with our rapid 1 touch pass and move stuff we're known for

Just not posting would be preferable

Tend to agree, the odd mistake but he is human and trying to make things happen.

 

[DaveH]

Roberts seems to be coming inside a lot more, with Brown moving to the wing to cover.

 

[jesus juice]

How’s Jones getting on?

 

[offmenut]

imagine that was the case and we play like this in the playoffs

Do we play first game of the season the same as our pre season friendlies?
It’s quite hard to convince yourself to play with intensity and motivate yourself , when there’s absolutely nothing at stake

 

[niknak_123]

If we score, we could win this
