*~*~* Sunderland v Plymouth match thread *~*~*

[Mr Redknapp]

It’s like people don’t understand football

They were always going to set up to defend and be more compact, hard to break down after the Burnley game. They weren’t just going to roll over after a hammering !

Take a scrappy 1-0 all day. Just get the 3 points, don’t care about pretty !

Comparing yourself to others is dangerous it only leads to unhappiness, and i should know from a personal perspective

and anyway thought the board wanted the lads under the radar

 

[Whey]

Don’t know how people are going to vent their frustrations if this board shuts in March

Probably boff the glue a bit harder

 

[SAFC 2012]

It hasn't been shite.

What have you watched

 

[Shibby Safc]

Contrast “Magic Pat” with Le Fee.

Le Fee has put in more balls across the box than Robert has since Christmas and he is not even a winger.

Exactly. He really needs to contribute more or be subbed for rigg i imagine

 

[The]

It's not what I was reading on here like .

I’m an eternal pessimist mate. I didn’t buy the idea we were gonna smash them.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

What have you watched

The actual match.

 

[SAFC 2012]

The actual match.

How would you describe that first half then?

 

[smixsell]

Mayenda has to come on at the start of the second half. Samed off for me.

 

[3stripes]

Haway lads lets get off to a flyer

 

[Becs]

Frustrating that we've not found the back of the net. Pressing forwards all the time and some good chances. Unlucky not to be winning at half time.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Contrast “Magic Pat” with Le Fee.

Le Fee has put in more balls across the box than Roberts has since Christmas and he is not even a winger.

Le Fee has actually beaten his man too. Between Roberts and Hume, you could bang your head off a wall watching them lose the ball.

 

[Chewit]

I know we are giving Samed a game… and boy does he need it. But he is not adding anything to this game at all.
You need that player to step forward between the lines in a game like this

 

[s1black2000]

Just don't hope we do a Sunderland and gift a vital 3 points to a side that is struggling and desperate for a win!!
Stay professional and switched on!

Are we doing our best to gift them the 3 points ??

 

[hank williams]

It seems we have attracted some new idiots to the match thread. Welcome.

Theyve always been here just under new guises

 

[Taffyduck]

Possibly Aleksic too, knows where the goal is and he’s quick

I like the look of him

 

[zidanny]

Mayenda has to come on at the start of the second half.

In for one of the three in the middle, we don’t need 3 in there against these. He can’t play out wide, he’s so much better alongside Wilson.

 

[CornedBeef]

We really need a goal to win this.

 

[connolly_31]

I do not disagree - he has done that role well, I think a lot of questions are around whether that role is needed and how useful it is against a team that are sitting back, when we could potentially have Rigg or Mayenda buzzing about. Neil's ability to quickly transition in that deeper role would also make our limited breaks more effective.

Absolutely. Agree wholeheartedly, which is the perfect way of describing it. Rather than the shite thrown at Samed who is doing his job perfectly well.

 

[Gloucester]

Probably see poveda later

I would rather see Poveda tried when we are winning, not expecting him to come to our rescue.

 

[Keith S30S]

Le Fee has actually beaten his man too. Between Roberts and Hume, you could bang your head off a wall watching them lose the ball.

Apart from Hume doing the best cross of the match...
