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

[Sarcoid Kid]

I must still be pissed. Apart from the first 15 mins we've bossed possession, corners, and attacking intent.

 

[SuperSub]

Only positive is that Blackburn aren't out of sight. We can't string a pass together.

 

[Boo]

We were totally caught cold and we didn’t wake up until we went behind. Even then, we haven’t produced any chances.

 

[horselover]

Hopeless this half. Come on Chris Rigg, you are much better than this!

What about the other 9 outfield players?

 

[McMackem]

Neil our only stand out player so far.

 

[everstar]

We will still in 2-3, but we need someone on the left who the ball will stick to - there isnt enough options when the press comes.

 

[Steesafc]

Needs to be better. We have to test Pears, he loves a mistake.

 

[hypersonic]

Dan Neil having another good game

Has been the only player carrying the ball and making threatening passes through their defense. Not that it's come to anything.

I don't understand why no-one goes across the face of the box when we have players cutting inside, it seems an easy run and pass to make, but it never happens, then we end up going backwards.

 

[PitYacker]

Isidor offers nothing at the moment. Mepham has forgot how to pass the ball.

 

[Cream Soda]

I get most frustrated with Roberts. I also think Rigg needs to come out of the team.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

I think every player was at best a 2/10 there.

 

[The Situation]

Just someone willing to scrap and do the basics. Head, tackle, give and go. Our midfield three have nice touches and play pretty triangles but mixing it isn’t their forte

At least Salis should be back by the time the playoffs come around at this rate.

 

[Taffyduck]

Tbf Blackburn never gave us any time on the ball. They can’t keep that up all game so I’m optimistic we’ll get back into this second half.

Glad it’s only 1 goal in it.

 

[filfy]

Really poor 1st half

 

[The Hesk]

Lucky its only 1 and we still in the game. Dreadful half that by any standards. Id rip up the script and make a few changes

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

When was the last time we played decent in front of a big away allocation?

I feared this when it’s been hyped for weeks how many we where taking, when more often than not we don’t turn up on the big build up

 

[Monument View]

Offered nowt upfront
Fortunately game is not yet behind them yet

 

[Cream Soda]

Isidor offers nothing at the moment. Mepham has forgot how to pass the ball.

We aren't getting any service into Isidor.

 

[gards2]

Get Aouchiche on for Rigg

Rigg is the Jobe of last season and the DOyle before that and the NEil before that. Young players being 'overplayed' and in the shop window.

 

[Dodgy]

Told yaz all we wuz gonna get did, and we did. I have a sixth sense for these kinds of things. Never, ever, question my judgment.

Is it OK to question your wanton abuse of our beautiful language?
