*~*~* Fleetwood v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

Strong bench. That ended well.

 

[Ambivalent Dave]

We always look like we’re going to concede when we drop back and invite pressure. Against Stanley we held on. We didn’t hold on today. We’re much better attacking the game.

 

[BB2]

Apparently Johnson has always made a habit of defending a lead in this fashion which Is really worrying with a young defence. Everyone keeps saying we'll learn but concerned it's our experienced players that are generally at fault and don't learn.

BBC website saying their pen was for handball !? I couldn't see from where i was in the seats. Was confusing.

 

[Nipper1970]

Deep breaths lads & lasses…don’t let it spoil your weekend!
We’re still unbeaten in the league!

Burton might disagree

 

[foggyballa]

Problem is, that result was tantamount to day light robbery.
Jimmy Floyd even confirmed that in his post game interview.

It was mate. Still a defeat mind

 

[ShieldsBlackCat2015]

Just saw the result on BBC Sport website. Gutted.

 

[Joe Baker]

Not sure about the Embleton sub.
We lost a body in midfield, which ceded that space to Fleetwood and gave them control.

...and Cirkin, wow what a player he is going to be.
He was playing right in front on me second half and his close control was incredible.

 

[Unlucky Black Cat]

Absolute rubbish. He had the short o ff his back.

Better not say that to Travelling Mackem as he will tell you it didn't happen and you've never played the game before.

I think you and I must have seen a different video (on here) to the one TM saw.

 

[gipetto]

Mad how people can't see the shirt pull but it's the SMB way I suppose. Wright gets his right arm around their player and grabs the shirt where the red meets the white side to pull him down and ends up pulling the shirt right up he holds him there.

You can see his white top underneath unless he wears his shorts like Bullard?

We get yanked all over like that most games and never get a penalty for it.

 

[Scunny Dan]

How barmy do you have to be to claim your club is unbeaten when they aren't as the defeat was 'undeserved'.

Why does it bother you so much Dan lad?

Nonsense is nonsense mate.

Nonsense is nonsense mate.

I think that lad probably made a mistake.

Pritchard would have been the right replacement.

That Morton caused us problems again.

Fair enough. Getting a real self-entitled vibe on here recently though.

How?

 

[Scunny Dan]

How?

Usual "tin-pot club", "shithouse club", "we should be hammering these in their cup-final" nonsense. Seems more prevalent recently though. Its hard to admire.

We all like that are we?

It's just a joke man, we're on a Sunderland message-board. The truth is, based on our turnover, fan base and facilities, we should be hammering Fleetwood. Unsure how anyone can deny/challenge that.

Great result for them in the end, but surely you can understand why fans are upset/frustrated considering we were 2 up after 80 minutes.
