The meltdown by some is slightly pathetic. I feel that some peoples reactions are at best disingenuous. Bang on I think there's some kind of weird peer pressure in our fanbase to be "Get rid o t'lot of em" "F*CKING CRAP WEDNESDAY" "That was garbage sack the manager" It's like people who post the drama think it's going to win them some cool points off the burberry stone island mob or summat It's weird 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 It's not the result but the performance and the approach. We're only a goal down but there was absolutely nothing tonight that suggests we can score two goals. A much, much better performance is needed by just about everybody if we are to succeed.

Brickers Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 No, although the way that game went last night I'm happy with the result. Sunderland ran their socks off, never let us play and we were clinging on especially early 2nd half. Could have been so much worse but Monday will be different. Keep the faith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Given how the game played out and the chances they had, 1-0 is a good result. If anything, they will be disappointed it’s not a bigger margin. 1-0 at a full house Hillsborough, it’s in our hands still. Believe and get behind the team.

RUMBELOWS91 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 No. I think we started the tie as slight favourites Now I think we're slight underdogs, but it's not a disaster. Must score first on Mondsy now though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk.Owl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 My thoughts are that Sunderland can't play better than they did but we can, we showed that in the last 25 mins. 1-0 down full stadium, I'm ok with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basement Jack Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I would never settle for a defeat no matter who we are playing But… I think if we had gone toe to toe with them and lost by the odd goal I don’t think that’s too bad as it’s only half time. What has freaked everybody out is the performance and the worry they could stifle us again Its the performance that has fueled the over reaction on here not the score It will be a totally different game at Hillsborough and I’m still confident 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Next goal winner. We start games very quickly these days and if we can get one early doors I reckon we will win comfortably. We’ve got some big characters in this team, some of which are heading towards the back end of their career. They will see this as a huge opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosborough-owl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Do you recon Sunderland are happy with a 1-0 advance? I think a lot of them will say no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brissy-owl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Yes, glad the away leg is done and dusted, no major damage done, our turn monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had it with the way the ball ran last night after BFP , had blocked the first Stewart shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 8 hours ago, nethertonowl said: 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 100% yes to 1-0 loss. Best, worst case result. Imagine if we’d only won 1-0 at S6 in 1st leg? We’d be bricking 2nd leg away, expecting to concede 2. Or even if pigs had lost a 1st leg away 1-0, we’d all expect them to overturn it at home, so why not us? We know exactly what we need to do, get out there & win it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 As stupid as it sounds to me 1-0 is perfect. A draw or a win would have made it too cagey and we would have sat back which we are not very good. Now we have to come out and attack and win by two clear goals which is one of our strengths. We know what the remit is now, anything less and it’s failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on the Wiizzzaaaarrds in blue and white apparel This, not being bias, Sunderland were very ordinary and considering we were no where near our best, they still couldnt take advantage and came away with a win gifted to them by a howler.

Rhubarb n Custard Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 It was about staying in the tie last night. We did that. A 1-0 would have been a worst case result but still sets up the return leg nicely. The players will be up for it come Monday and we have our part to play as much as the they do.

Holmowl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Probably yes. But let’s not think we are in good shape for Monday. Sunderland’s away record under Neil (Neal, Neill?) is superb. They don’t lose. But we are right in the tie at 1-0, with 90 minutes and possibly 120 minutes still to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I already predicted them to win 1-0 at home. You don't reach the playoff phase if you are not good and they are, especially at home. I also predicted us to win them 2-0 at home so I'm still very positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Given our away form this season and their home form, a home win was the most likely result, looking at it the other way round we would have been expected to win at home too. So a 1 nil defeat all things considered is not too bad, just how it came about from a mistake. And the fact we didnt start plating until the last 15 mins.
