Zorba Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 With the exception of Aribo, who is shit anyway, all those substitutes that came on should have started the game.

The Curse of St Mary's Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 RM got selection badly wrong. No way Shea Charles deserved to be dropped.

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Don't understand that starting lineup? Why start Mara when we have Fraser, who given his time at Newcastle would probably have thrived against their biggest rivals. Why no Charles when he could have offered some protection to the two centre backs, who've never played together before? Still not sure about Edozie. I'd have put A. Armstrong out there and let Che play the central role. So many bizarre decisions. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 I've never seen a goalie where the ball is so close to him yet he either gets nothing at all on it or a hand but so weakly that it goes in.

Mate, any more 'efforts' like that and I'll be actively hoping he isn't. I had serious misgivings about his appointment. We were all warned about the number of goals his teams throw in. Nothing I have seen today dispels those misgivings, everything I have seen confirms the warnings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Well that was a bit grim. Might have been a very different day had the stonewall penalty not been missed by the ref, but definitely a day to dig Adkins’ pen out and draw a line under. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Garbage, from top to bottom, absolute garbage. This manager needs to have more than one stupid 'possession' philosophy, because we offered the square root of fuck all for the entirety of that game. If Sunderland can rip us a new one that easily, we will get well dicked by better sides. Absolute crap. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Honeymoon over Russ! Welcome to the real world of football. Did we create one real chaance? If you think Smallbone / Armstrong is a better choice than Charles / Alcaraz in midfield then you deserve all you get. We were over-run in midfield and that's why. Poor old Baz will get the blame on here of course. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Holgate, Bazunu and Manning absolutely shocking. Can see why Holgate was out of it at Everton.Manning defensively was diabolical. People who thought we were well stocked at CB need to look at that and realise we are piss poor there especially with Stephens injured. No height at the back either. Hope THB is as good as everyone thinks. Just what we didn't need going into the break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Regret paying £11 to watch that garbage on Sky.(though glad i switched off just before end and missed 5th) Annoying there's an internatonal break as you worry the reaction you'd expect to this pathetic display will be muted by time. Not sure anyone comes out with credit. Bazanu made a couple of saves in 2nd half but first half he was dire. I really worry in particular about his reactions, he seems so slow to get down and across for shots. Wings is a major issue for me. We've lost a quality wide player in Tella and not replaced him. We badly need some good version of sulemana as Edozie isn't good enough to start and that just leaves fraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Just switched over to Everton and Pickford made an incredible double save at the death to keep a point for them. Shows just how valuable a decent keeper can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.Studio Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Worse than the 0-9 scored. Every Sunderland player to a man better than ours. No-one deserves credit - suppose it was going to happen sometime and he has 2 weeks to sort it out. Must not lose to Leicester or Ipswich now - hopefully Mellis and Stewart will be fit enough to start one or both. Extreme sympathy to the traveling fans - you deserve a refund!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Saints Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 That’s been coming with how defensively open we’ve looked all season. Our midfield is always the wrong side of the ball during the transition. Pair that with our keeper being unable to get down to anything long range and it’s no surprise. That last goal was fucking sunday league, embarrassing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performance of the outfield players, shape and tactics were the issue. Because his clanger changed the game. At 2-0 down at half time it's not great but possibly salvageable but at 3-0 is game over. Is all when and good making some saves when the game is lost and the pressure is off. If we are 1-0 and holding on in a key game is anyone trusting Baz to put in a Kelvin v Leeds performance which you need to go up? I'm not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
