*~*~* Sunderland v MK Dons match thread *~*~*

[Southcoast Mackem]

formation just generates a stale performance. Particularly with both lead boots and power in the engine room.

How can he not see it but we can? We don't drive forward and put pressure in. It's woeful.

 

[Richie K]

Cameron Jerome.....anytime goalscorer is free money today!

Anyone have it on? Both teams to score and Jerome to score.....paid for my takeaway tonight!

 

[jackynutmeg]

We need to get diamond on the other side to Hume. weve given these the square root of fuck all to think about. At the moment we’ve got nowt and they know it. If I were them I’d be fancying a win here.

77th minute

 

[MackemTackem]

4-4-2 second half! Gooch on the left wing, Maguire on for Scowen to play on the right wing, Onein right back, the wing back crap formation is useless.

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

Gooch is frustrtaing as fuck. If its not his shit first touch or the fact he cannot pass its his shite delivery

Does my head in

 

[Samson88]

Its literally like watching rugby when we get the ball, everything side ways or behind the man every f***ing time.. Its kids stuff man professional players. Embarrassing

 

[The Rat]

Gooch seems to be getting more stick than anyone in here and yet he's probably been our best player.

He’s set a lot of goals up this season

 

[Nelson!]

This performance is pretty standard for us, and that’s the big problem I have been banging on about.
If we don’t manage to get the points (pen and a red might save us again) what is there to be optimistic about?

one shot on target again. It’s f***ing embarrassing and how people think it will get us promoted is beyond me.

 

[thewearsider]

Their midfield has been so much better than ours. We just constantly look the slow it down and our first thought is to go backwards every time we get the ball. Turgid, predictable and boring as fuck.

Can’t believe he was available and we went for obrien and Graham instead like

 

[Windypants]

Good first half. Sets us up very nicely for the 2nd half red card and penalty.

That looks the only way we're going to win this.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Grigg looks absolutely haunted. He's aged about fifteen years since he signed for us.

Burned out from all that fire

 

[Scootsie]

Surprisingly, I think Wyke’s general play has been decent.

 

[Binxy]

Are we playing with a right back and a right wing back like?

Haven't got a clue what we're supposed to be playing, like I suspect most of the players don't either.

 

[the earl percy]

Is there anyone with ability to sharpen my pitchfork

 

[Superkenwynejones]

Nailed on for Dobson to come on

 

[abbs]

every week we come up against teams that have better forwards and midfielders than we do!
Fkin sickening

 

[Stubbs ftm]

If he was a half decent player he would be able to adapt

Not always the case.

Agree he's playing shite today, but they all are

 

[The Rat]

It’s the bigger picture marra. He’s only been their manager a little over a year. They’ve got significantly less resources than us, yet are playing better football.

I’m sick of us grinding out results with awful football.

You’re judging it on 45 mins of football

They’re 19th for a reason

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Are we playing with a right back and a right wing back like?

Willis is RCB but has licence to overlap, a bit like the Sheffield Utd CBs. His starting place in defence is his normal one.
