*~*~* Sunderland v Swansea match thread *~*~*

[hypersonic]

If we're going to play like that we might as well rest a bunch of players.

Can only think Le Fee and Browne would be in need of minutes.

The likes of Hume, Neil and Isidor are going to be important come the playoffs, just give them a rest now.

Haven't beaten Swansea since 2012 at the SOL

 

[hypersonic]

We deserved a goalless draw. We were robbed for their goal.

We were robbed for that free kick, but can't say we deserved anything.

Too pedestrian in the middle and back to non committal passes that do nothing, just allowing the opposition to shuffle about in front of us with no problem.

dogshit mate

RIP to the hardy souls who turned up today imo there mate.

 

[Jack Ford]

We're in the play offs

That counts!

Boring stuff though

 

[craigypants]

Isidor is out next game surely. In fact just forget it. We look utter shit. Just let some other **** go up. And refs and linos fuck us anyway. Every week. That was a pen. Soft but was a pen.

 

[Geppetto]

We're in the play offs

That counts!

Boring stuff though

Confirmed?

Only saving grace is other teams around us losing momentum too. Sheff Utd look even worse than us, Boro cant string anything together, West Brom have been anemic for weeks. Coventry and Bristol City look more threatening but even they have both lost a bit of steam recently

I think for us it's less about momentum and more about just getting bodies back. Half of our squad are either out or carrying knocks - Isidor looks like he's a bit....off, Bellingham, Le Fee, Ballard, Cirkin, Mundle. We just aren't playing cards with the same deck as the other teams around us.

Agree it really is. Alot of moments of individual brilliance in there mind to paper over a few cracks.

But then again they are the same players producing shit all for months but I put most of that on RLB overly safe tactics.

Been a weird old season.

Have to hope they can get some intensity back somehow. This is always the issue with getting into the play offs early, I'd much rather be the team getting in there on the last few games bang in form.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Confirmed?

Confirmed after Norwich.

 

[foggyballa]

Samed. Dogshit. That performance. Dogshit. Barring a late turn in form in the next few games I’m not confident at all we’ll get to the play off final. Play like we have done in the last few games against a Coventry or Boro who’ve battled into the playoffs in good form and we’ll get embarrassed. Jobe been a massive miss in the middle lately.

 

[Tonysafc]

Watson can fuck right off like

 

[Dick Fitzwell]

Poor performance, no real urgency shown all slow plodding football
Mind their free kick was never a foul an£ there was more contact on Mayenda by their number 10 in the box.

 

[Lonz]

The remit is definitely “don’t get injured”

 

[Jack Ford]

Confirmed?

Yes

 

[Randy Ostrich]

We deserved a goalless draw. We were robbed for their goal.

Still couldn't deal with a cross into the box. Created nothing - deserved nothing. Very worrying performance

 

[SAFC Nooey]

We look very poor, luckily we have 4 meaningless games left to sort it out before the playoffs begin. Regis needs to hammer into them if you want to play in the play offs you got to show me now you can perform.

 

[Randy Savage]

Really poor today. Subs perked us up a bit, but to no avail. We look utterly toothless.

 

[rubberface]

Well you’re touchy about it, whatever it was

Sorry mate
