Sunderland AFC U21s

The bairn has had a couple off scouts before, I'm always keen to ask who they're looking at but never want to come across nebby!
Bugs the life out of me how scouts ( looking at our players get preference over fans who support the players for team sheets -been like that so long I never even ask for one now .
 

At 1 nil down we had a great spell and had them on back foot with some good passing especially down our left -then two really poor goals defensively effectively killled the game off
One thing of note -no vocal leaders on the pitch ? -could hear two or three Boro lads all night but we were quiet and it’s something I’ve noticed at Hetton before for us .Not sure how you get players to be more like that if it’s not natural mind .

At least you stuck it out mate. The wimp AKA @chunksafc legged it home for his cocoa. ;)
 
Roberts, Bola and Hoppe all senior players. Good experience for all lads to be up against them
A lot of experience between those 3 players, will definitely have given them an advantage.

Hoppe cost Boro about €5M or something didn’t he?

Bola has played about 150 games at L1 and Championship level and Roberts was Northamptons Player of the Season last year.
 
It was bloody freezing and I was horribly underprepared. In my defence I've had 40 years down south and still acclimatising :lol:
Bovril with loads of pepper 🌶 is my recommendation from the cafe ( mind full of part timers yesterday so queue massive !)
I believe the under 18s have a cup game a week Thursday at Hetton v Fulham ( the 18s we’re top of the league and flying )
Hetton Lass will probs confirm that ?
That will be worth a wander across to …

I did hear some grumbles about where was everyone last week as I stood in the queue for a coffee and a burger :lol:

I did notice first half as you mentioned how quiet our team is, no one on the pitch organising or encouraging. Be interesting to see some more games to see if that's a common theme.

It is mate -hence my observation
Not sure how you rectify that -maybe identify one or two players with obv leadership qualities and bring them in
Zac Johnson our injured Centre half is in that mould -but definitely need another couple in
 
Just been watching it on twitter, it may be quiet on the pitch but both managers are very vocal

You any confirmed details Re the under 18s playing at Hetton week Thursday marra ? I was told last night and canny few said they would like to watch them as they have been “ flying “ in the league -smashing the Ike’s of Liverpool away ?
Would be great if they got decent support as most games are at the aol
