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

[The Cookie Monster]

That was absolutely pathetic tbh. Created nothing against a struggling side. No urgency or intent at all. The game is desperate for a striker running in behind. Roberts goes off…perfect chance to put on Rusyn and move Aouchiche out wide but no let’s put Ba on who’s been dreadful for weeks. Speakman May as well appoint himself as Head Coach as fuck all has changed.

My local over 70s walking football club are quicker than these

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

0 shots on target. Wonder whether Speakman is finally seeing the penny drop

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

That was absolutely abysmal.
We are effectively playing with nine men.
No control of the game whatsoever
If not Clarke, there is absolutely nothing.
And this against the team rooted to the bottom of the league

 

[Fez2]

If Jobe comes out second half it will be madness

 

[SuperSunderland]

Would take Ba and Jobe off for Pritch and Rusyn and move Auochiche out wide

 

[Frasmotic]

Not what you want for your last game of the year is it. There'll be nothing positive to get from a defeat at Rotherham tonight

 

[ChrisAshley]

Well that was f***ing dreadful! Not really sure what the actual plan is here, just soak up the pressure and hope Clarke does something?

I'm watching on a stream with Rotherham commentators and they must be the least biased home commentators I've ever heard, the old Yorkshire fella on co commentary raved about our support a few times and called us a proper club, whatever that means.

 

[Zidane]

Should just get 3 subs on at half time, players who havent played much over xmas. Rusyn for example

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Surely got to get Pritchard and probably Rusyn on for 2nd half.

 

[den]

It’s the Beale way

 

[Vore]

Miles off it tonight. They need a rocket

Be a bit rich of Beale to bollock them given we were never this dull under Mowbray or Dodds

Shudder

“Mr Speakman, Mt Speakman. Who do you want me to pick and in what way do you want them to play?.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

We aren't

Here he is

 

[deodrant2]

Horrendous that, it’s like watching the Russel Foster league, saying that, that’s offensive to the Russel foster league.

 

[GipseT]

This is what he was like at Rangers. Exactly the same as what we are doing. Just aimless passing about.

This IS his style of play.

If so ... We need to move Speakman out

 

[ajryan86]

Thought he said he liked to play with the handbrake off as as a manager.

 

[SAFC7391]

Been poor, Rotherham should have scored in that 3 minute spell they had 4 good chances.

Get a striker on and actually start passing the ball forward.

 

[harmy]

Woeful again. No one in the middle. I just don’t get all this hype surrounding jobe. Non existent tonight. Adil never been in the game. These are pants. Perfect game to give the strikers a game. Needs Pritchard on asap. Jobe off.

How’s ba getting any game time. Useless.

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

Why are we playing 2 holding midfielders and no striker against bloody Rotherham. Absolute joke

Hoping to pass them to death and score after 20 min they realise we are hopeless and we never got a kick after that
