*~*~* Sunderland v West Brom match thread *~*~*

[the dude]

Roberts having a stinker. How come we are always so shit at freekicks and corners?

 

[RossTheNinja]

Once every 4 or 5 games he does something sublime. But otherwise every time he cuts in I just turn away

He's not an ambiturner, man

 

[look out piano]

Let's take a ride along with the dogs tonight in suburbia......

 

[Get Into Em]

Isodor is a good player but he’s not goal scorer, most of his touches are heading away from goal.

Do you know which player Isidor is?

 

[Ned Land]

I might be the first to say this but Mepham is a good defender imho.

 

[Boris Bear]

Hope we keep this up, great to watch

What you watching tonight mate?

 

[payne]

He doesn't even have to run. He just steps across

I think he's deceptively quick, but yes he does use his body so well and reads the game.

 

[hypersonic]

Think West Brom have defended really well and made things difficult for us. We need to move the ball quicker.

They're defending really well

Hopefully RLB has spotted the holes in their system and we're going to work the ball into some more dangerous areas in the second half.

They've done well making us play to their strengths, with the wingers seeing loads of the ball but never really being able to do anything with it

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Mepham is just superb. Easily a step above in our squad.

I know people had that daft thread about Clarke .. but we do miss him.

Bang average first half but we need to win. Simple as.. we need to get momentum back

Watson isn’t ready to start games at this level. Lot of potential but should be a sub.

Needs must after Mundle’s injury though.

 

[Hbk69]

Wasting opportunity’s more like

Opportunities

 

[Travis]

Both sides we are missing normal full backs. Both make runs that create extra space for the wingers. Roberts end product not good but he’s had scraps. They aren’t very good so we should get 3pts but we need to improve massively to keep our title charge up

 

[KathyBatesHammer]

These are dull like, defensive as out.

Will be so painful to watch if they go 1 up.

Id like to see Mayenda on the right

 

[Smiler]

Roberts having a stinker.

He's been better than Watson but they are making it difficult. Easy to see why they don't score and concede many

 

[Ned Land]

We don’t miss Clarke at all. We miss Mundle. Watson isn’t ready yet.

Imho Cirkin brings a different dimension.

 

[wisemensaysteve]

Anyone who thinks 09 isn't the complete player needs their bumps felt,
He is quality, if you disagree you can FECK OFF

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

That was as easy an away performance as you could expect from West Brom’s perspective. Their wide men look more threatening than ours. A huge first goal of there is one at all coming here, if we go behind I can’t see us winning.

We are raw and lack flair. Isodor
Is a good player but he’s not goal scorer, most of his touches are heading away from goal.

Massive second half here. The table is starting to take shape and we don’t want to be slipping too far down it this week.

Isidor really is a goal scorer. He’s just not getting any service

Is this a hot take?

 

[Daffy]

Roberts having a stinker. How come we are always so shit at freekicks and corners?

Stinker ?
What a heap

 

[Hbk69]

Roberts, Watson and Neil are our weak links currently

 

[HoffTTM]

We need to be more willing to trust Rigg and Jobe with it in pockets and combine. Far too safe going wide over and over often involving Isidor so there isn't a cross on
