*~*~* Sunderland v Doncaster match thread *~*~*

[BiffaBeercan]

Sounds like Seaman is all over our box.

Let's hope our team finds a bit spunk during the break.

 

[Mackemansj1]

While everyone me included was buzzing with defoe the fact we didn't strengthen at the back is going to cost us this season, any half decent cb on the free list.

 

[Metro Man]

Ive just got back from a walk in th epeak district

Is that a virtual ramble?

 

[Tom333]

Won't make a difference Defoe coming on - we create nothing. 3 wingers on the bench but we play Embleton and Gooch out wide. We have a new CM player and don't play him. Batth looks horrendous and they'ev got Ollie Younger in defence who is coasting through the game. Mess after mess after mess.

 

[IrishMackem88]

We've got a horribly unbalanced squad mind. We basically only have one fit full-back that the club have any faith in right now, the only way we can defend is we select 3 centre-halves, there's a massive risk of us getting over-run in midfield if we don't select 3 there and we're overloaded with a ridiculous amount of attacking midfielders.

Our recruitment under these clownshoes increasingly looks to have been a mess.

3-4-2-1 is very much the in formation at the moment, didn't we play this a couple of times under LJ pre Christmas?

 

[Nelson!]

Disgraceful from a fair few of them today. Cirkin isn’t anything like the player he was hyped up to be, neither is Doyle, but they’re both young lands. What the fuck are Winchester and Evans playing at?

If Keane is there get the contract signed and send him down the dressing room for half time. A few of them need telling.

 

[Wilsonian]

Why the fuck are hume, Roberts, Clarke, matete not playing? Absolute disgrace this.

Defies belief marra, really does.

 

[safcpauluk]

Batth is a disgrace of a defender

 

[RossTheNinja]

Where is Defoe and Matete?

pub

 

[Karl]

How predictable wasn't this? Choking is what this team specializes in.

 

[The Rolls Royce]

Still can't believe we let Flanno go. Yes he had been shit but so had the lot of them, until late December he was one of our players of the season.

 

[Marty Moose]

Why the fuck are hume, Roberts, Clarke, matete not playing? Absolute disgrace this.

Farcical, considering those on the pitch embarrassed themselves last week anarl.

 

[Happy_Layabout]

Watched Donny in midweek. Lucky to be only 5 vs Rotherham - they were pathetic.

Yet our half hearted, half paced first 15 minutes let a shell shocked, bottom of the league team, build some confidence.

Shocking

 

[MackemSmokey]

Bring Defoe and Matete on ffs

 

[Jersey_Mackem]

This is without doubt the worst half of football I have ever seen us play.

 

[Cult of Personality]

Pritchard is the only one trying here

He’s been dreadful as well as the rest of the twats

 

[jackynutmeg]

I think the club messed up big time considering the games are running out and we were already playing catch-up. said all along it should have been done in November.

Agreed.

 

[Geronimo]

Not to instigate a pile on, as they've all been awful so far today, but when did Embleton last have a good game?

He's worse than Rodwell for hiding

 

[The Cabbage]

Back 3 and central midfield 3 have been an absolute joke. Big fan of Dan Neil but he's an absolute passenger and has been for weeks

Needs dropping and has done for a while. He’s a big reason why the defence is under pressure. Add Embleton to it too. No defensive work and just the odd petulant foul.

 

[Spaceturtle]

Got to make some changes straight away
