Mystic Neg Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Reminded me of our semi final home leg against Brighton. Sunderland should have got a similar result to the one we did that night, at least a 2 goal cushion. Remember the onslaught we faced at Brighton in the 2nd leg? Sunderland have all that and more coming. I'm confident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 1 hour ago, Daavies; said: Very harsh. Sunderland played well tonight and stopped us doing anything for 70 mins. Darren Moore changed the game and last 20, we were probably the better team. I think alot of players felt the occasion a bit tonight but it's all to play for at Hillsborough. It will be a completely different game. Hope so. But for that clanger we'd have got a draw out of it. What we need, for once, is a bit of luck. We're long overdue some.

Jim Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 F**k me. We go all out attack and end up leaving our back door open, lose like we did in December which however unlikely, it wasn’t impossible then I wonder what some of the f**king experts on here would’ve been saying on here? I know they would have been praising Moore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people that understand football would have chose not to go with width on an away first leg. Not least in front of a partisan crowd. Tight and compact iprotects the defence. Hunt will play on Monday, on our ground with our own partisan crowd. We’ll play with width and attack. If not for Hutch’s mistake we’d have come away with 0-0..

For that reason alone he should have started or at least been introduced off the bench when we were losing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The attitude has to be to stay in the game ! Did we do this ? Of course we did, it's far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mcguigan Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 8 hours ago, JemmoJemoJemmo said: I’ve been Moore’s biggest critic but I’m not having that. Wednesday were deliberately and rightly slowing the game down taking the pace out of it. Sunderland didn’t create a lot apart from hitting the bar from 20 yards and two silly errors from Hutch and BPF. If Hutch doesn’t do that error we’d be saying almost perfect away performance. Yes I’d like to have seen a bit more when we had the ball but we’ll dominate on Monday and I expect us to win. And if the shot hits the bar goes in?

Haven't played that well but we’re still right in it. And we only lost from a horrendous (and unlikely) mistake Monday we are in with a great shout Let's hope these negative drama queen fans dont' go on Monday - we don't need them 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need exactly the opposite on Monday night, constant noise and intimidating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 TBH if the players can't string passes together when it really matters in front of big crowd, then they aren't really going to thrive higher up the pyramid. As for Moore, tonight's showing was everything that was wrong with our approach in the first part of the season, that IMO cost us the autos, too negative.

Mosborough-owl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 9 hours ago, Pastor Kidneys said: We were lumping it as far as we could. Bannan 14 first half touches? Doesn't that give you a clue to Moore's tactics? Do you actually think Moore told the players to go and lump it forward for our small strikers to win in against two big cbs… when all season we’ve tried to get the ball down and play? Flipping heck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of our better players in the away legs as an outlet. Palmer did well last night but it was all a bit hopeful when it got to the box and maybe if Hunt had played he gets on the end of the one at the end. But at least he is fresh for Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you can do as a manager is set up a team that gives you the best chance. If we’d been told beforehand the only time Sunderland would really create anything would be a shot from 20 yards we’d have snapped your hand off. Moore simply cannot control two individual mistakes from Hutch and BPF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore simply cannot control two individual mistakes from Hutch and BPF. Yes that’s the frustrating thing. I think other than the errors they mainly looked like scoring from a corner or a long range shot. But when we did make a mistake it whipped them up and created that situation after half time where there was blood in the water. We have shot ourselves in the foot all season though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
