++++++ Sunderland v Mansfield official Match thread ++++++

[Windypants]

Are we playing as abjectly poorly and incompetently bereft of ideas as it sounds?

 

[Woodman Boy]

Three attacking players against Mansfield.
And one of them is AOB.

He should be called Aiden O Dear after his fancy back heel straight to one of them.

 

[Safc88]

Is kld there?

 

[Freddie the Greek]

Sounds like he's lost the dressing room

Down the tunnel, right then right iirc.

 

[Poacher]

If he doesn’t get the boot then its obvious to me that this new owner has all the ambition of a snail. Happy to pootle around in this division developing players for other teams without actually achieving anything.

Just happy to own a football team without doing much so he can concentrate on his playboy lifestyle

That’s being generous.

 

[Woodman Boy]

Yes, they have not got a clue.

 

[nessen]

similar lineup to previous cup games this season, all of which we have won

But not my point. It’s not our first team so let’s get out of this and the next papa johns game and concentrate on winning the next league game.

 

[burb]

Needs to get the philosophy sorted.

Here we f***ing go

 

[andysafc24]

Are we shite yet? Or double shite?

Triple shite

That’s a bollocks notion when it’s not the first team playing.

This is not a reserve side like. It may not be the 11 that starts league games but the players that have come in are the first team match day squad.

 

[Rokeroar]

very disappointing. big team talk needed, a change and we should still have too much for them in the second half.

If it has been that poor, he should make changes at half-time.
Be very surprised if he does though.

 

[Alfies Hat]

Time for another inspirational half time team talk.

 

[bomber]

I said he'd be sacked around halloween/bonfire night before a ball was even kicked.

 

[Ilios]

Can’t believe how many people are worried about our reserve team getting beat. Personally I hope Mansfield stay ahead and dump us out of another lengthy cup run!

I wish it was only a reserve team, but most of it isn't. That's the worry. There are at about 6 first choice players in that side, and the others are all 1st team squad players. It's not like we've played the kids, that is a passable senior side missing a few players.

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Sacked before long

Well this is another clueless, disjointed display. It's not an exaggeration to say we are being outplayed by a team who are 5th bottom in L2. They have a system we look like we don't have a plan.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

I don’t think we’d have enough for Pennywell Comrades at the minute. It’s admirable the way you come on here and try to stir up support but it’s pathetic at the minute.

 

[gards2]

Not going very well this

 

[TB22]

Are the mags getting beat yet?

Norwich 2 up
