Of course, you could say the same about Darren Moore, but I always fancy us to get a result against a Lee Johnson team. His teams try to knock it about, but are usually soft touches and prone to going on poor runs of form. That's three league defeats in a row for them, with 9 conceded and only 1 in response. Streaky Johnson as he was know at BCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambolic passing out from the back, not brave enough in defence, isolated forward, some decent players but not able to make an impact etc etc. To be fair they caught us on a good day just as we decided to become a high pressing, no nonsense team playing wingbacks and two strikers….

Looked at their team and there wasnt a single player I'd be all that interested in. On paper, we've got more quality than them. Thankfully, we actually showed it last night.

Beauchief Owl Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Having a look on the Sunderland Fans Forum, there are a lot of comments re Johnson not being good enough for the job. Only two or three weeks ago they were looking like certs for automatic promotion. In addition they are the Pizza Cup holders! Funny ol' game, as Greavsie used to say.

asteener1867 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Always bring a decent following....They are very similar to us...It turns toxic......due to expectation levels Lets be honest, Hillsborough looked like what it once under the lights....away end full...A Wednesday win and an atmosphere.... Wednesday fans knew they would have to get behind the team last night, simply because of the away support..They did..We won. You saw what happened to the Sunderland defence in 3 minutes of pantomime defending, hoofing it into the air, then heading into the air before shinning it out...into the North....Down to their fear of their own fans catcalls, and the Kop taking the P It works We should try it with friggin' Shrewsbury etc....no offence 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the carnage on here if we'd just had their last 2 results. We'd literally have to be hiding the sharp knives. I believe they had lost the match before Rotherham as well.

Seems like they are going to have another failure of a season in L1. Yes they probably are yet their name is bandied over and over for how 'hard' it is to get out of this Division.....set up to beat teams,play 2 up front,and you batter teams in this Division ,like we did last night... Had our GK or a defender made an error,we could have soaked it up,because we had scored 3 goals NO excuse whatsoever now,to change this victory by superior firepower Up the Owls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Much like us where there seems to be an inverse relationship between the quality of the support and the performances on the pitch. Echo the comments re. Lee Johnson though, utter fraud of a manager who couldn’t get a team playing consistently if his life depended on it.

nile Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Defensively they were horrendous, they looked lively going forward but very weak in midfield and at the back, keeper was awful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Sunderland fans are a right set of drama queens. They seem to wallow in their own misery When they got relegated from the PL there was a mass exodus of the Stadium of light as soon as the first opposition goal went in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought our first goal was soft. Though directed very well, it was not hit fiercely and from outside the penalty area. Keeper not great at getting to it.

Looking back at it again I was shocked their defender makes no effort at all to stick a leg out and block it or anything, looked fairly close to him. Of course I'm glad he didn't!
