Sunderland Boxing Day

I stand corrected!!

 

Haha here we go again FB. Fair comment about "scapegoat", but I didn't think he was desperately bad today. As I say it looks like is confidence is shot, but Hopkin must keep playing him for a reason

 

The worst player on the park today was Payne, to be fair.

Awful game.

 

True. I can only think he wants more experience in the back 4. Wood looks a better player to me and certainly has more potential.

 

I didn’t like the cheering when Chicksen was substituted, that was poor. The lad looks low on confidence but over the past four or five games has been our worst player. O’Donnell cost us a goal today with a bad mistake but has generally been one of our best players, the save at the end was top quality. As someone else mentioned Chicksen isn’t a scapegoat, hes just not played very well over a period of games. My comment from my brother in law wasn’t a loaded question, he asked me who our left back was because he thought he was having a poor game. We never mentioned anything about our players before the game, hence the impartiality.

 

Funny my brother in law thought he struggled today but i guess his opinion has no credence because he follows another team. I’ll have to remember that when anyone who supports another team dares to pass comment on anything.

 

I find it mildly interesting to see what other non-opposition fans think when they attend games.

What did he make of the crowd?

 

He loved it, he comes to a a City game every time he comes to visit us. He thought the atmosphere was great and it was a decent performance where no player really stood out.

 

David Ball MOTM for me, followed by Akpan.

 

Ball has been good for a few games now. Akpans covering today was decent as was his distribution, overall it was a good team performance/

 

Ffs!!!! Its blatant and bloody heartbreaking that

 

Noted, I'll stick to the countdown thread in future

 

Can't really excuse it, Jonny Mc isn't even impeding the linesman's view with his body.

Should be that man's last outing in League football this season, clearly incompetent.

Has to be repercussions.

What's the best way to lodge complaints?

 

Ryan McGowan all day for me.

 

He had a good game to be fair.

Put in some gut busting runs covering the right flank.

If only our left wasn't continually overrun.

 

Yeah, force out a relatively successful manager and bring in a club legend - oh wait, we’ve already been there!
