Would you have taken a 1-0 loss before kick off?

[nethertonowl]

If so why are so many pissed off?< the overall level of performance?

 

Ask yourself can we play as poorly again?, can they match their level of performance . I expect a very different game on Monday, , for me getting  Wembley will be about the quality of our finishing     

[MF TAZ]

0-0 yes

 

not this and not that performance and not that mistake from hutch 

[BIG D]

It’s not the end of the world and I would have snatched your hand off for 0-1 at HT. 

[CircleSeven]

Yes. It wasn’t what I wanted but could see that as long as there is one goal in it going into the second leg we have a chance. I feared something disastrous happening like a 3-0 that would have made Monday night rubbish. But thought 1-0 halfway through proceedings against the side that have the second best record at home was a reasonable expectation (particularly given how shît we’ve been away on many an occasion). The performance was poor for long spells but I don’t think I means much as we’ve been shît before one game and good the next. 
 

All to play for IMO. 

[1963owl]

Yeah & when the cry babies on here calm down they’ll realise we’ve got a great chance of going to Wembley 

[Beighton Owl 87]

I would've taken this score as a worst case scenario. If it was a 2 goal deficit the tie would be all but over. 

[Mike Hunt]

Yep said it today 

They were blowing out of their arses last 20 minutes 

bring it on Monday 

see what happens

I'd say it is about a par score. 2 nil down we'd be up against it, 0-0 they'd be up against it

Deffo would have taken 1-0. Thought we dominated last twenty minutes or so and fully expect us to push on from that. 

[wakefieldowl]

No

 

[Kopparberg]

Had a feeling we’d lose by the one goal…

 

Monday we’ll be have to be on it with our finishing. 

[FreshOwl]

Nope, I don’t really accept losing to anyone in this division 

[horny owl]

I predicted 1-0 we’ll smash Sunderland at Hillsborough 

[Willie Henderson]

[Jim]

Different circumstances I know but the fact we lost 5-0 the last time we were up at the SOL played heavily on the minds of the management, players and fans alike.

 

Anyone who doesn’t think that wasn’t the case is living in cloud cuckoo land.

 

Moore won’t be happy at losing 1-0 but he’ll be far from disheartened. Expect a different set up on Monday and more than likely a different outcome. We’re still in the tie. Three were some on here before kick off expecting to be out of it. Moore got more decisions right than wrong tonight.

[sternlad]

Be reyt…. Think we can get two or more goals at home to this lot…they aren’t that good.

They certainly faded.. I think Monday will come too soon for them.

[BigTavowl]

Midfield was overrun for most parts of the game tonight. Sunderland targeted Bannan like all teams will do but he was obviously carrying a knock.

[BridportOwl]

We played poorly and only conceded due to a error by a usually reliable player. The meltdown by some is slightly pathetic.

 

I feel that some peoples reactions are at best disingenuous.

Yes. We lost 5 - 0 last match at theirs so 1 - 0 is a massive improvement.

 

Some think we are entitled to win every match by 3 or 4 goals and overlook reality. "Just go and attack and we'll win easily".

 

It makes me laugh.

 

You can get by with a big loss in the league, but it's very difficult to turn around a 5 0 loss in the playoffs. We played cautiously and got through their expected early home pressure and pressed for the last 20 minutes.

 

It was a good result and we have home advantage to open up and grab it.

 

People expect too much...
