*~*~* Sunderland v Coventry match thread *~*~*

[ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK]

Why can’t we win each leg 3-0. Can hear me heart beat in my ears here

It's the Sunderland way!

 

[Billy Batts]

Just got to be better on the ball when we have it. Midfield in particular.

 

[irbymackem]

Roberts does my head in, yellow card , get him off Mundle on.Could be last game of season

 

[Mackem2017]

Can see Coventry scoring and Wilson getting sent off. Need the 1st goal

 

[The soap powder]

2 or 3 good final balls and we could be ahead

Need to stop silly fouls and both our wide men have to be better

Not sure I can take another 45 of this

 

[Scotty 1978]

There’s too many balls going in to our box

 

[cocky]

The longest 45 mins of my life,absolute torture

Not as long as the next 45....

 

[Taffyduck]

Remember, we don’t need to win. Although it would be preferable.

 

[Poacher]

Big hugs my love, I hope you're well on the road to recovery

Had my bone marrow transplant hairs back and everything. Still 50/50 for first 2 years

 

[rubberface]

Roberts awful. Jobe and Neil far, far too deep. Nowhere near the 2nd balls. Isidor not doing enough either. Looks knackered.

 

[cluffy]

Just once in the 2nd half I’d like Jobe to drive forward instead of 360 piroetting back towards our goal

I was thinking why can’t he pirouette the other direction just for a change!

 

[onkeldonald]

Need a tactical change here like. Our counter attacks are 2 against 4. They've sussed us. Gerit changed Reg.

Need to go back to five midfielders today. Some control and possession is sorely needed.

 

[summaz]

Midfield needs sorting out for the 2nd half

 

[RossTheNinja]

Could switch it out to Le fee more

He's been our best option but their RB is their best defender (cockup aside last game.)

 

[Darlo1973]

Regis needs to instil his calmness in this lot, some of their heads have gone and they can’t even control a simple ball.

Some heads in this thread have gone too.

 

[Honess10]

Horrific?

Aye. We look gash everywhere other than Mayenda on the break. We used to be quite a good team to watch. We’re awful to watch now

 

[phil]

That wasn’t a technical masterclass last ten mins. That was arses against the wall. Things need a change. We can’t defend a 1 goal lead!

We shouldn't be defending a 1 goal lead. We need to take more control, our players have the ability.

 

[mackembulldog]

Roberts has been poor. Neil’s been alright but - same as Jobe - not firing on or dynamic enough for me

Jobe has done a defensive job but some of his out balls have given away possesion

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

Get Roberts and Neil OFF ASAP

Neil?

 

[Boredom]

Yes I’ve noticed the same. He doesn’t seem quick to release Isidor

Strikers are selfish I guess….

He’s some boy mind. Mayenda has developed at an insane pace this season
