*~*~* Sunderland v Stoke match thread *~*~*

[bugman]

Hope the lads can kick on again after that. Hard to get a win when you’ve been on a run like that

 

[Nelson!]

Very important we got the win, to end the run of draws from games we were the better side in.

Awful conditions, we ground it out. Roll on Tuesday.

 

[Lord Potts]

Good result very well played Watson lad.

I didn't expect it to be a classic given how bad the weather was/is.

 

[Whey]

Gerrin. The board is safe!

 

[R5Skywalker]

Nah that’s Herman Munster

A freshly shaved Desperate Dan

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Bellingham needs to learn to pass the ball under pressure,,,,,best player on the pitch was Watson. He is the future Englanf International. He is worth 50 million. Jobe was shite.

Any need man ya gonk.

 

[PitYacker]

Dean whitehead on the coaching staff at Stoke?

Aye I think so. Certainly looked like him.

 

[---Nemo---]

Thought Stoke played some nice stuff there, can see them doing well under this manager.

Best they've played according to their commentators.

 

[BarrySheensAutograph]

We played well there, keep playing like that and well give someone a good thrashing.

 

[Drexl]

How was I wrong ffs ?
Has he or has he not missed some sitters today? I wasn’t having a go at him but defending you slagging Roberts off
This board man. People like you can’t cope with facts and change the narrative to hide the fact I called you out on you slagging our players off.

Call me out?

We disagree on Roberts today. It happens.

 

[Good Teeth Keith]

Thought we were excellent today given the conditions, we were by far the better team. Class above from last season.

 

[BishVegasSAFC]

We should have had at least 3 more goals

Shit happens, we won.

Be happy and enjoy your weekend

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

What a morale booster that is.

 

[Toothless]

8 point gap from 7th

 

[HarrogateMackem]

The writing was on the wall there, thank god we got it over the line.

Actually think despite the missed chances we played really well. Roll on Bristol City and Swansea. If we can get back to form we should be looking for 6 points and I bet we'd be back in the top two.

 

[nelford_safc]

There is obviously some aura about Stoke that brings shit weather and a frustrating as fuck game of football.

 

[Gideon Gungeon]

tfft mate and gtfit massive three that imo. another loss or draw would've ruined us

 

[Foreigner]

Get in. Well deserved. Up the xG league we go

 

[The Beautiful Game]

I can’t believe they had 10% more possession. We absolutely dominated it.

Yeah we can point fingers at finishing etc but we got there in the end. We know we’re on a bad run, so do the players. While we’re all panicking thinking it’s happening again I’m sure they are too. With the conditions and the monkey on their backs it’s almost understandable. That wins important. Hopefully they kick on from here.

Watson MoTM

Neil had an excellent game on and off the ball. Jobe was everywhere. Roberts second half seemed to click. Started going outside more and using his right and we were a better team for it.

 

[JL1985]

I’ll take any win at this point.
