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

[Nelson!]

Am I being biased in feeling like the opposition get the soft free kicks and we rarely do as a matter of course in most games!

 

[Eric gates hair]

We will have more draws than Clint Eastwood.

 

[Monument View]

Powder puff performance

 

[ANonnyMoose]

I’m glad we agree.

He may have had the most shots and most crosses but, barring one, I don’t remember many if any beating the first man.

Is it not possible to just call it for what it was? It doesn’t mean he’s crap. The lad has talent but he didn’t do much tonight.

And Roberts being as ineffective is a moot point.

Apart from the one cleared in front of their goal you mean?

 

[riffraff]

We’ve not played anywhere near as well as we can recently but at least we’re not losing games. Which has to be a plus*









* Posts on the bright side.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

We did outplay them just couldn't finish

We didn’t really create much to finish. Poor balls into the box, wayward shots, terrible set pieces. It was a night of really low quality.


They let us play and just watched us run out of ideas after ten minutes.

 

[Red and White Trent]

Some of the reactions on here are ridiculous, far from happy clapping were unbeaten in how many?

Those 5 draws 1 was 10 men, 1 was one of the best form in the league at home, 1 was one of the best in league away. 2 poor results but we didn’t lose (like Plymouth and Watford). Yeah 15/15 would have seen us clear at the top but that’s not how football works. Get a grip, today was a solid performance not gonna blow every team away but a few bounces our way and a dubious offside and that’s 1-0.

 

[KGC83]

Some deluded fuckers on here to say the least. Was not shit or dull at all, was quite an entertaining game.

Isidor's goal isn't ruled offside and loads are wanking themselves silly. This place is more fickle than even the average fan.

We made a supposedly decent West Brom side look like a load of shite. We will be fine.

 

[Ghfd]

I watched on their stream as SAFC wouldn't let my pay to watch ours - their commentators thought a draw was a win, that we had totally outplayed them.

Safc did

Unlucky tonight

 

[mackem1989]

Team came for a draw and they got they played out to what they came from and we fell for it.

 

[SteveFTM]

We need 2 or 3 like 09

 

[Jack Ford]

Expected a draw. WBA well organized.Not particularly disappointed.Would play Mayenda from start on Friday instead of Watson.

Maybe keep Alese on instead of Luke as well, not that to Luke played badly but Alese is more athletic..and quite good....

Not expecting much at Sheffield, being a realist. a draw will be a bonus

HTFL

 

[Arkle]

Not sure he got that much wrong to be honest. Let the game flow and wasn't falling for some really weak play by a few of our lot.

Really disappointed by that performance. Zero threat all evening. Roberts was shocking, again. Seriously need to look to improve our wide options in January if we want to keep pace with the front few.

Patrick Roberts promises us Radiohead but gives us The Courteeners. He started the season well but currently isn't doing so much. They doubled up on him and Watson and we couldn't really get past that.

 

[Hetty]

Don't understand why luke was subbed. For me Dan Neil is just not doing enough.

He can't play 3 full games in a week i would guess and looked tired up and down the right

 

[MadMackem10]

I watched on their stream as SAFC wouldn't let my pay to watch ours - their commentators thought a draw was a win, that we had totally outplayed them.

Looked in complete control. They were clearly very worried about us countering so never really attacked with many numbers. Isidor had no space at all and their box was completely packed of their players

 

[Baz]

Riggs effort blocked, Roberts should have scored. As has been mentioned I’d be fuming if I was a Baggies fan but the onus is on us to break them down. Wasn’t for the lack of effort - we’re ruing the Coventry and Millwall results plucking draws from the jaws of victory.

What the most consecutive draws we’ve had?

Exactly. We were by far the better team, all game. We've had some less than perfect results lately, but tonight's performance is not one to be slagged off. We had the chances to win easily, against a team who (are top 6 contenders) came here with no intention of even attempting to win the game.

 

[Rokerdog1]

He caused the most problems in the first half, had the most shots and the most crosses. He was very unlucky with the cross that the lad cleared from the 6 yard line - that could of gone anywhere.

Way ahead of Roberts in end product, but yeah he was "ineffective and offered very little"

Agree totally mate. Roberts was totally ineffective. Mayenda better on the right. Poor managerial decisions.

 

[forever changes]

Just ANOTHER one of those nights,

Tidied

 

[Georgewhitt]

Usual meltdown on here to start. We played well, dominated from start to finish, they parked the bus. 7th place and they had no ambition whatsoever, f***ing pathetic. Extremely unlucky there, but hopefully Friday be a better game.

At fuckin last.
I thought I was watching a different match to most of the comments on here man.
We dominated the game against 11 men stood in their own box for 90 mins.
Marginal off side goal rightly disallowed, but they couldn't get out of their own half man.
The lads worked so fuckin hard and it just didn't happen for them.

Ffs fellas.

 

[splorty]

Good time to clock off here before all the negative shite piles up….
