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

[Deleted member 52509]

As much I love my club and fanbase we have some absolute whoppers as supporters looking at the official page still complaining about how we played

Are they supporters that actually go ( these whoppers marra ?)

 

[nowtgoodeverhappens]

Hope we keep producing these opportunities feels more sustainable than Isidor worldies

Yep, dare I say it but we’ll have had a good xg today!

 

[bowers2]

Was best we've played all season 1st half. On another day we'd of been 2 or 3 nil up by half time. The sendings off ruined the game

But we lost.

Don't blame them really!

I absolutely do not blame a single soul who didn’t fancy that today. I had to go in the shower to dry off I was that wet.

But we lost.

The poster makes the point that if you play well sometimes you lose. But if you stick at it and keep playing well, you’ll likely win more than you lose

So sometimes after a loss, you should stick with the same system and approach.

Of course they aren't

But we lost.

Yes but the result doesnt detract from how well the team played pal. Football isnt a perfect science.

Given the poor performances we've seen fairly recently that game was a big moment for reggie and fans (me included) to see that we are very much capable of competing at the top. Therefore choosing the same team was more than justified today.

If you say 'but we lost' again i'll report ya!

 

[joedurham]

At last. 6 weeks without being able to look at Pure Football.I only look when we win ( I don't like losing and compounded by the negativity on here is too much to take).Well done new boy Watson.

I doubt very much we'll make automatic promotion, but the play offs are a must.

 

[gizmoganzee]

better game management at the end with a sub and keep ball.

 

[Zookeeper]

No Connolly again not even off the bench when we keep missing chances.

Why?

Said earlier he should have gotten at least 20 mins today

 

[joedurham]

Just got home. Great game and result. We played some good football. Pleased I went despite the soaking. KTF

How many people do you think we're actually at the game? Just seen the goald and the stadium looked half empty. Official attendance 39,500.

They announced 39,311

 

[Zookeeper]

He lacks physicality IMO, was a better move to bring on Mayenda for Rigg than Connolly in hindsight

Didn’t think physicality was our problem today. Putting the ball in net from 6 yards out was.

Probably just north of 30k in the ground. Hardly a surprise in the circumstances. The only reason I could be there was because I came up yesterday. I'd have had no chance trying to come up this morning.

 

[joedurham]

The piss you speak of is for the folk on here who drench their nappies every f***ing game.

The last few weeks have definitely been favourable for getting pissed off ,,- luckwise.

The ground always looks emptier than it is - the people all hide in the concourses.

Fairweather supporters?
