*~*~* Sunderland v Hull match thread *~*~*

[The Situation]

Hull have loads of injuries too.

At least 4 starters not available.

 

[Iansun45]

Aye it's going to be a slog, it really is.

Quite an understatement

We will end up mid table.

Then the Beale cock ticklers can come back and have their say then on him .


Pricks.

Nobody wanted him other than Speakman. You're talking out your arse. As if you're some sort of oracle.

But that performance there is no different than it was under Mowbray when teams come to the SoL to defend and counter.

Only we're missing Huggins, Alese, Cirkin and Roberts.

What’s Mowbray got to do with anything? We showed desire and intent under Mowbray. This is boring, slow and sleep-inducing.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Whey that was an exciting first half. I’ve been on the edge of me seat.

Bog seat?

 

[Morse]

Mowbray hit a bad patch and showed his frustration at the board not bringing a proven striker in. But come on, Uncle Tony's football was way better than what this idiots turning out.

Yep, I wouldn't have sacked him. Still hugely disapponted. IMO he was sacked out of spite. He knew what needed fixing and Speakman wasn't having it. Just speculation, of course, but that's my gut feeling.
If TM had been given the players he needed, he'd get us promoted, IMO.
I've said before that while I think Beale was a mistake, he's on a hiding to nothing. He's inherited an incomplete side and has to work with what he has. I don't think it'll work, but I hope I'm wrong.

Standard intelligent reply.

I’ll play your silly game, Man City has better players that we do.

And we have better players than Hull.

If teams set up to park the bus you change things.

Jobe started off brilliantly for us (when he first signed) but is going down hill really fast. Yes a lot of it is down to being over played. But he needs taking out of the team. He’s offering absolutely nothing.

Jobe off for Ba, Ba out to the right Pritchard behind Rusyn

He needs a break he' burnt out. Just like Neil under Johnson, who then hardly figured under Alex Neil.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

It wasn't much better under Mowbray this season. This isn't anything new. Nothing has changed

I’d largely agree. I think weve been boring most of the season. I think we’ve plumbed new depths in the last few fixtures mind.

Under Mowbray we at least looked competently toothless. I’m not sure what this is with this fella

 

[turbo bratwurst]

The right side is abysmal. Absolutely minging. Seelt has had good game and is tidy enough but he's a centre back playing as attacking full back with no one in front of him

 

[EchoMan]

You the Michelin man in the crowd there?
Genius “this will be a tactical match”

Not far short. I’ve got more puffers than a steam railway.

 

[Teed]

Lenddiz ya coat mate

I got rid of me goat mate, so ya outa luck.

 

[herra soul mob]

you may aswell nave a winter veg patch on the rhs in the fust half.

 

[safc9450]

Whey that was an exciting first half. I’ve been on the edge of me seat.

Don't jump man.It might get better or NOT !

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

What, 1 season ago? Hardly a damming statement is it

We’ve played 50 summit games since then and the last 6 have been the worst since.

 

[Get Into Em]

This is terrible like. Fuck knows what these daft kernts thought when they appointed this. Really worrying.

I wasn't against Mowbray going but this has got me utterly stumped.

The football under Mowbray was shocking for about 2 months. You'd think they'd have had someone, or something, better than this shite lined up to replace him.

Seems like everything that was wrong in our games under Mowbray has been amplified since Beale has came in. Baffling.

 

[Legend]

Why don’t we try playing Rusyn upfront AND someone on the right wing in the same line-up?

It’s the most bizarre “choice” I’ve ever seen a side make

 

[one armed boxer]

That is Beale’s tactic. He is on record saying he prefers to not press to allow their defence out and thus create space to attack behind the opposition back line when we win the ball back

Yeah I know, I still don’t like it tho.

 

[hat of a lord]

i have spend most of the first half watching clarke, and i just thought about it for a moment, but given the right-back has been booked, why doesn't he try and cross with his left foot ?

Left foot for balance not football maybe?

 

[Billy Batts]

That half reminds of two dogs licking each others arses, ie something I wish I hadn't seen!

@Fetch Fletch loves owt like that iirc.
