*~*~* Sunderland v Coventry match thread *~*~*

[Zweiguys]

Is 15 minutes long enough for me to go and get a heart transplant?

Just stick your tongue in the light socket. Works for me most of the time.

 

[DaveH]

We are playing a dangerous game, sitting this deep. It was expected, but some posters took exception when I said we would on Fridaynight.

We only have a single goal lead and can barely string a pass together in their half.

 

[Boredom]

May be sky camera angle but if Mayenda released a through ball once or twice then Wilson could have been through a couple times that half.

Playing well just need to restore our structure

This little f’er, I wish I had his attitude right noe

Looks a bit like mine, obviously a bit younger though.

 

[woodlebert]

Not if there’s extra time

But we don’t know if there is - and it’s 30 mins - so the next half is the most important we’ve had for ages

 

[MustardAndOnions]

His passing has been fine. Superb ball to set Hume away. His dribbling has been awful which is normally his strong suit. His tackling has been shit too. I would take him off with him being on a yellow card. Committed a couple of fouls after his booking which isn't great.

Wilson off for Rigg for me

We need to change shape

Try not to scare the shit out of him if we score

 

[columbo70]

Roberts looks like a second yellow waiting to happen mind. Seems on edge as he’s playing crap and can’t influence the game.

Hes a liability defending....headless chicken...defo red card incoming for him

 

[Flavonoids]

Enough to be a red though?

Only seen it live so could be wrong but it looked like a deliberate knee into the player

T2s card, there was no need for the keeper to be anywhere near Isidor, the ball was long gone, he didn't have unstoppable momentum ... he tries to knack him.

 

[Mickdundee]

f***ing hell we need a goal. My ticker can’t cope with another 45 mins of this.

On a side note, Don Goodman is dying for them to score like.

The way they talked about that Rudoni header, you’d think it had grazed the bar or something, not bounced 5 feet over!

 

[woodlebert]

May be sky camera angle but if Mayenda released a through ball once or twice then Wilson could have been through a couple times that half.

Yes I’ve noticed the same. He doesn’t seem quick to release Isidor

 

[burchmackem]

My thunderbastard request stands, but I will add a third from Rigg.

 

[Keith S30S]

Nerves getting to the players- need to get our foot on the ball and try and regain some control - both CBs on yellows so should get at them 2nd half

Our final ball has been very poor, we've settled in midfield OK.

 

[mackembulldog]

Not if there’s extra time

Which is why these next 45 count. Extra time will be hard going

 

[safc9450]

Get Roberts off for ffs ! Browne to do a better job of holding the ball and passing out.Midfield not firing on all cylinders. Get the ball on the deck and go forward.

 

[safc_stevo]

Is mayenda just told to take the ball himself and have a crack each time.. been a few times isidor has went with him and just never passes..was the same in the last leg.

 

[Black Cat Bob]

Haway.
Shaking like fuck all half.
Roberts off Mundle on if he can do 45. If not Rigg on

 

[alicante mackem]

He's not man. He loves us, his own words. He just goes over the top to be neutral.

 

[Wakoro]

Our lads are a little nervous in front of this crowd but they'll settle after a half time. Coventry will start tiring and getting sloppy and desperate the longer this goes on, we just need to keep doing the same and the counter will come.

 

[Rossi]

Needs to be some words like.
Wilson needs to work harder..
Roberts needs taking off.
Midfield need to get a hold of the ball!

Mayenda needs to look up and pass the ball
