*~*~* Sunderland v Bristol City match thread *~*~*

[RokerRoarer]

Really thought Ballard had nicked it for us there at the end!

Should have been, bit more direction to the right and keeper isn't getting that. Great save but gutted he didn't nick it for us.

 

[Jokei84]

Got away with it there. He should have been making subs at least 15 minutes earlier.

 

[Hulkster]

We need an entirely new front four and an entirely new attacking game plan.

 

[hank williams]

Still love to kna why we can’t beat teams on a poor run it’s always f***ing happened

 

[wrighty]

As the deep lying player he is meant to be running the show. That’s exactly what he’s meant to do. He’s playing central midfield.

I haven’t singled out Neil for anything other than not doing what he started to do from 75 minutes earlier. He’s the experience in the middle, wearing the armband, and for me it’s not quite enough to just knock it side and back. When he stepped on it, he was much better.

He was probably our best player

 

[Raffs]

Regis will never have it, but Adil Aouchiche or however you spell it offers far more on the left than Mayenda does.

I thought Mayenda was very good tonight

 

[Good Teeth Keith]

Burnley drew at home to derby. Very unpredictable league.

I wonder if their fans are calling for the manager’s head and slating off all 11 players.

 

[HettonSAFC]

Great save but Ballard could have directed that toward the corner and we win that.

need to think ourselves lucky to get a point never mind winning it….

Regis will never have it, but Adil Aouchiche or however you spell it offers far more on the left than Mayenda does.

For someone who's attitude has been questioned in training he certainly made a difference when he came on.

 

[Taffyduck]

Still unbeaten at home

 

[Nope]

not a classic

but, take the point, on to the next. HTL

 

[Wild Card]

Well done Ashish, good little cameo that!

I actually thought he put the ball a bit behind Roberts and it was the great feets of Roberts that got it back under control to get the shot away, but will have to see it again as I missed it typing shite one here.

 

[RokerRoarer]

Not much directing you can do with a backwards header. 9/10 that's a goal.

Change your body shape as the balls coming to you?

 

[herra soul mob]

Referee robbery ... he's probably a copper, or a traffic warden, maybe a parky.

think he works for the met

 

[SuperGerryHarrison]

My overriding view of tonight was hopeless crosses. To many floated in there. Need to be braver and put the boot through it sometimes.

Should’ve had a penalty too, let’s not forget that.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Still love to kna why we can’t beat teams on a poor run it’s always f***ing happened

Because they play really compact at the back and we can’t break them down

 

[Ilios]

Wtf man, 14 seconds added on?? A goal scored, a lengthy delay from a corner, a set pieces. And that amounts to 14 seconds...there's just absolutely no consistency.

 

[abbs]

A completely clueless, wholly inept performance.

The lack of attacking quality or attacking game plan is frightening.

they bossed the second half by putting pressure on our play out from the back ,
Yet another shitter team shows us how to manage a game

 

[wicketkeeper]

2 points dropped tonight .
They were awful.
Not clinical enough in the box

 

[CraigyLee]

We were in complete control until Watson went off

fair play to Bristol smelt blood and upped it after half time
