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


Starting a game with 3 out of 4 wide players on their wrong foot makes for a lot of turning into traffic or passing sideways or passing backwards. Which is EXACTLY what WBA were looking for us to do. Isidor looked quicker off the mark than their defenders so every now and then swap the wingers ower, gan on the outside and bang a few hard low crosses into the front post just to shake things up a bit………especially when there was no over or under lapping from either of our emergency full backs.

Nothing to be scared off at all. Don’t give anything away and hopefully that little bit of guile or luck returns to us!

Or a decent bloody ball in.

Honestly I’m confused have I watched a different Sunderland to a lot of people on this forum all my life? People all of a sudden seeming so entitled and expectant of playing like Barcelona.

I’m not saying this season is the most unbelievable in terms of performances but the reaction about what is a solid team getting solid results is apparently now happy clapping.
 
I think we all hoped today would be different with a few players back. It was still round pegs in square holes in some position today and I think more questions will be asked than answered.

We need Cirkin back. Keep in touch until January and then we need to buy a striker.

Yes it is. It's a f***ing pathetic comment. Almost as bad as yours tbf.

We've got through a very tough run, undefeated, missing 8 first team players, and largely being the better side in all.

Mate, we are not grinding out results, we have been drawing very winnable games, letting teams back in from winning positions in some cases. We need to learn how to close out games when we are in front.
