Would a draw be satisfactory?

[10 Gary Rowells]

Why are they stronger don't they have loads of injuries as well

According to their manager they do not have the squad to get promotion - if we take him at his word then it is very worrying if people say they are stronger than us.

Ross seems happy to draw home games against weaker opposition so I should imagine he'd be happy with a narrow defeat today.

 

[wigwams]

They certainly aren't stronger than us. A draw away to one of the better teams isn't a bad result though.

Doubt he was happy

 

[Medulla]

What is silly is SAFC with the most resources in Div 3 by a country mile being scared of the opposition.

Fuck me, no-one is talking about being scared. No-one is saying we can't win. No-one is saying we shouldn't aim to win.

Give me strength.

 

[BucketBiff]

Would it fuck. Stop being soft cocks and conceding possession. High press as a unit and take the game to this division. Let's get the fuck out of this league.

The standard of football is absolutely shocking in this league. Ross is trying to be to clever. Let teams fear us. They don’t at the moment.

 

[JohnKay]

Totally, if we boss the game and can say we we're unlucky or robbed by the ref etc a draw is no problem. All about the performance, if we pissed about and drew then it's just more of the same from Ross and plenty will rightly be pissed off, myself included.

An away draw is usually acceptable, provided we win our home games, of course.

Mind i didn't see much decent football from anyone last season not just us its just the poor level we are at

 

[Venkman]

They probably don't have a better squad

Aye just had another look, not sure they do on reflection.

 

[G Force]

A draw would be a decent result today

It’s the home draws against bottom half sides that have been the problem

 

[ReaL Madras]

I’ve been to Ipswich quite a number of times, I can’t recall seeing us win there.....

 

[Smartin]

We should be looking to win every game, and be disappointed if we dont.

 

[Star-Rover]

I would prefer a win, starting to get sick of draws.

But we don't win our home games.

Yeah, I think you've identified the problem there

 

[Falconhoof]

Yes. Draw away at promotion rivals would be fine. I'm sure they would take draw at SOL later in year.

Take your common sense opinions elsewhere, they arnt welcome here!

 

[Man About Town]

This place is getting absolutely pathetic

 

[TradingPlaces]

No.

A draw in any Division Three game should never be "acceptable" for a club like us. Fail to win today and Ross position will be untenable next week because no chance we will beat Portsmouth.

 

[Roker Magic]

I'd say a draw would be OK but I think we will also be looking for an improvement on last week, a sturdier looking defence and putting their keeper under pressure.

 

[Bulwell]

Absolutely not. This is league one and we would have 2 points from 2 games.

So by that logic if we had won the first game a point here is okay?

Ipswich are third favourites to win the division, a point here might not be cause for celebrations but it's perfectly acceptable.

Madness isnt it. Teams who want to win the league should be going away in every game and targeting a win.

No one is saying we shouldn't be going for the win but if a draw is acceptable.

Try to win the game but don't be disappointed to draw it.

 

[Northumberland Rocks]

Fuck me, no-one is talking about being scared. No-one is saying we can't win. No-one is saying we shouldn't aim to win.

Give me strength.

You will be happy tonight then battling for a great draw at Ipswich.

Give me strength...Sunderland supporters expecting mediocrity. Go boil your head.

You'll have missed where I said "the performance is as important as the result today. if it's like the gruel of last week, the result is virtually immaterial" but then - wa-hoah there - let's not be expecting reading and comprehension.

Thick as fuck.
