Joe Jockstrap Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Wow! I’ve asked a mate who is a Sunderland fan for his take on the game, I’ll give you a few quotes, btw he’s not an ass hole. ”We expected a hard game” ”You gave up, why?” ”F me, does your defence ever learn?” ”Sorry but your forwards are not even non-league standard” Finally, “It looks like your players f king hate each other” Happy New Year Edited December 30, 2021 by Joe Jockstrap 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 34 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: We started off strong playing some good football. And then just sloppiness and shaky defending cost us again. We can look pretty going forward all we want but until we sort this defence out, we are vulnerable to dropping points and getting a hammering by any side which is half decent. We have a patched up defence which was bound to come unstuck sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian joicey Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Back to playing 'sitting duck ' style football. Playing it around at the back till we give it away (still in our half after 12 passes)and the opposition just waltzes thru our defence and scores ! It just doesn't work, why is it so hard to grasp??? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) We are luckily 8th in the worst standard of league we've ever been in. Our starting 11 had 9 players with Championship experience and a couple with premier league experience - and that was our level of performance. We are a complete embarrassment. We consistently look like a Championship side who rock up to a League One outfit on a cold Wednesday night in the league cup, we look like we just don't want to be there, terrible mentality and lack of character and quality. This team and manager wanted to finish top, and the worst thing is they were being reasonable. But the performance has been abysmal. The manager is clueless and has not clear plan on how he wants us to play or succeed, he can't tell the media our plan or ethos because in truth he has no idea himself. He's absolutely winging it. Theo only got game time when Wolves complained and now he's back to bench warming. Derby and Barnsley are coming down in the summer, next season will be even tougher, mark my words. Chansiri may not want to pull the trigger to save cash, but not doing so may cost him more in the long run. Being 10 points off the autos half way through should be a sackable offence alone Edited December 30, 2021 by Owls2k 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And shows just how far our standards have been driven out of us as a fanbase over the years by those at the top, that the overwhelming feeling tonight seems to be don't overreact, its a one-of etc. After being pumped 5-zip by a Sunderland team that really aren't all that, in a performance where our players gave up even attempting basics such as marking, tracking your man, closing down crosses, executing simple passes etc. I don't fault fans for having this approach, its almost conditioned into us to have to accept mediocrity and make excuses for it. But 10 points off the top 2, with this squad, in this standard league, is a disgrace. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we were the better team until they scored their fifth. Were you even watching? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also enjoyed, the commentary on iPlayer for similar reasons I.e. the Radio Newcastle team called us out for what we are; absolute dog sh*te. I honestly think this manager and team are mentally broken. There can be no other explanation for getting turned over like this without any kind of reaction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
