*~*~* Rotherham v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[calmac]

What was the point of changing manager?

Same selection, same system, same result

Loads of possession and absolutely nothing created

We don't do managers...we want yes men coaches to do what Speakman tells them to do. They are the fall guys while he gets off Scot free.

 

[Phantom of mobs]

He's talking about his mate Dave Woodhall's daughter's wedding business in Portugal now

Never heard anything like it, i now know his entire family tree and what the living ones all had for Christmas breakfast. Unreal.

 

[Madmartigan]

Just can't believe how awful this is. Like they just want the game to be over.

 

[hoolio]

Second best all over the pitch last 30 minutes

 

[Pudding]

Missed the first half what’s happened with Roberts was it a bad injury?

 

[FalkirkMackem]

Jobe off rusyn on ffs

 

[Shandy drinker]

Putting the darts on

One
Hundred
And
Eiiiiiiiiighty

 

[Fez2]

Jobe has to be taken off half time simply not worth the risk

 

[JW1973]

Awful this, two subs at HT bring on Pritchard and a CF...so simple it's ridiculously obvious what needs changing

 

[Sarcoid Kid]

Putting the darts on

Good band, and they can't play any worse than our starting 11.

 

[southstander]

Diving ****

It’s not the same system, mind. It’s different shape and different patterns. It’s way more pass focused as well. Playing pretty much two deep lying forward today who are interchanging and we are focusing play through the centre more to try and get the wingers the ball on in an area further up the pitch with a more defined box in the centre.

Mowbray just had us getting the ball to a winger on the half way line and have them run at goal till they lost it/scored.

I feel like we're reverting back to the old system

 

[Lonz]

Playing like a bunch of kids who’ve just found out their dad isn’t coming back after popping to the shop for some milk.

 

[GRABS]

What are we actually trying to do here, i cant see any pattern of play, the ball isn’t being fed into any particular area, genuinely lost at a direction.

Jobe needs to come off at half time before this ref does something silly.

 

[SunderLad92]

The tempo and effort off the ball going forward man f***ing embarrassing walking about.

Running through brick walls for Beale....

 

[McGregor]

We would look a much better team with Hugill up front....
Pretty much sums up Sunderlands central attacking threat.

Hugill is a striker mate so don't be daft

 

[one armed boxer]

Beale is “Aligned to our playing identity” speakman said, “committed to a playing style that we feel is central to our progress” said Kyril.

Load of bollox - said me!

 

[Walmo]

Watching that first half was painful, can we just call it full time now?

 

[Bg86]

sure we will be looking

Think their manager is linked to Swansea, probably take him there too

 

[WB1974]

Jobe, coochie, Clarke all poor mind
