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

[SAFC Wilks]

That’s annoying. Would have took that at HT though.

 

[Billy Batts]

ah man! 2 points dropped there like. Should’ve killed the game when we went in front and Mayenda simply has to score. Absolutely no idea what the fuck he was doing.

Ridiculous, just ran it into the keepers arms.

 

[Chop Sauce]

Lack of ability

 

[palm 1]

Second half was the best performance of the season for me .

 

[Geppetto]

How have we not won that!?

And Rigg as with all our injuries looks long term.

 

[DoctorMick]

Are you blind? That was an enforced change as Rigg is likely fucked.

Mayenda should have been off 20 mins ago and it's cost us at both ends of the pitch.

I know it was enforced but we didn’t look like conceding before the change did we? He didn’t change it because we were in control and he doesn’t trust the players on the bench to be able to come out without our levels dropping (which is exactly what happened).

 

[Hetty]

4 points from top, closed the gap by a point

 

[jonnie_makem]

Doesn’t excuse him not even shooting one on one with the keeper.

Absolutely unforgivable.

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

 

[OtLeYmAcKeM]

People slagging Mayenda off like hes the first footballer to ever miss a decent chance

He's 19 ffs

Some of our "supporters" man

 

[flanny1]

2 points thrown away, Le Bris really needs to look at how he sees games out

 

[Fireball07]

I'd have taken it at half-time but we were dominant in the second half tbf.

Had enough chances at 2-1 to put the game to bed imo. And obviously a couple of chances at the end.

 

[gards2]

Fanastic 2nd half, well done lads both their goals pinball wizard. Bench Mayenda for 6 months, he's not ready.

 

[Gloucester]

Awful game management

4 sets of fresh legs for them and RLB runs our 11 into the ground until Rigg crocked

 

[errant]

Awful goal keeping from pears, could of thrown his hat on that

If only cirkin was an inch taller…

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Feels almost like a loss. That’s two points thrown away.

Manager has done a tremendous job so far but he mystifies sometimes. Why are we so slow starting? Why is he so reluctant to make substitutes with such a young side? Today it was abundantly clear that Mayenda should have been taken off. He was costing us offensively and defensively.

Would have taken a point but so frustrating that we’ve done this again. It mounts up and is the difference between top two and play off lottery

 

[Vicham]

We should have win it, but I would certainly have settled for 1 point before the game and half time I'd have snapped his hand off, had anyone offered me 1 point

 

[Morse]

People calling Mayenda shite, ffs!
He had a decent game and made a mistake.
If our defence hadn't fallen apart, we'd have won that.
There always has to be a scapegoat...

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Disagree, he tried but was just crap

 

[Irishblackcat]

A point away to a fellow top 6 side is nothing to scoff at. We had chances, for sure, but so did Blackburn. Probably a fair result overall.

Hopefully Riggy isn't out long-term...

It is when ur waiting in us for a few grand

 

[Robanner]

Mayenda what was he doing? Gutted. This type of 2 points dropped is the difference between top 2 and play offs.
