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

[Millhouse]

Thank god for that. We deserved it but we look a bit clueless going forwards at time. There is a player in Isidor but he was off it today and we need to take chances if we are going to convert draws into wins.

Huge and winnable game Tuesday. Freshen it up with Cirkin, Meps, Mayenda starting. It’s a weak league this is the best chance we’ll get especially given if we don’t go up we may well lose a few of our better players.

We created plenty of chances.

A not of composure and we’re all buzzing that were back.

The weather won’t have helped

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.

Can't wait for Tuesday now!

Great win - made it hard by spurning all the gilt edge chances we made ( we still need a goalscorer) but Reggie needs to rethink his ( lack of) subs strategy especially in conditions like today, that must have been really energy sapping

 

[Alan Partridge]

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.

Some of the comments on hear are absolutely clueless, people must be watching a different game and have must never at played at any level to appreciate how the weather and tiredness negatively effect things.

Desperately needed that, brilliant from Tommy Watson seizing his chance in the team, direct running puts balls in box,shoots and never stops running

 

[JL1985]

Only 24 shots on goal today, things are slacking.

 

[IAmZlatan]

Big win that, especially with the conditions. Onwards and upwards.

 

[only one rade prica]

Great win in that weather.

Was that Dean Whitehead on the pitch at the end?

 

[splorty]

Brilliant result! Well done lads, got there us tge end..Tommy lad, delighted for him, another home grown huge talent in the making. Win Tuesday right back in it….

 

[makem1957]

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.

What a load of rubbish re Bellingham

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Deserved the 3 points we can’t have any complaints

Johansson kept you in it. Has to be your MotM.

 

[forever changes]

8 point gap from 7th

Bollox to another playoff

My dad was born in Stoke, Cesspitt, Haway the lads.

Nice assist from Roberts, thought he had a decent game. Plenty moaning he wouldn't fancy it in those conditions pre game.

 

[safccfas]

Call me out?

We disagree on Roberts. It happens.

Yeah mate you started making stuff up because I called you out on slagging Roberts off. He had a very good first half.

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

Any need man ya gonk.

That did annoy me at the the end tbf, dawdling twice and losing possession with easy passes on

 

[gards2]

Phew! Their goal area led a very charmed life indeed!

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

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

True mind.

 

[Nelson!]

Dan Neil was absolutely majestic at times in that game. Some brilliant recovering tackles and he was turning and getting us on the front foot.

Want to see him doing that more often.
