I miss Torp. Sheaf was poor, Torp pulled these apart last time out.

And I’m sure next season we will do.

I hope so otherwise this type of game is going to repeat itself most weeks.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Because that's how far he's offside , not going to randomly put it on his chest are you? Have you not seen a single var this season?

For some reason I read his initial post as Onside

I think Eccles would have done a bit better than sheaf tonight tbh,

Sheaf was terrible. Back to being reckless with the ball

 

[Chris1987]

Wright was dreadful , asante wasnt anywhere near as bad as wright

But Simms who you constantly slag off should have started yes ?

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

All is forgiven

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Maybe simms was carrying a knock

Knock to his confidence. He's been playing with that injury for awhile now.

 

[jordan210]

Why when a defender is booked do we never target them

 

[theferret]

No need to be dramatic here. Sunderland had a game plan and executed it well. But the idea that winning at Sunderland is some sort of impossible mission . Totally doable. Not saying we will, but we're 2-1 down at half time. Breathe. Long way to go yet.

@covcity4life we need the Lampard cigar photo

 

[Winny the Bish]

None of the attackers looked like they were capable of scoring tonight. Very disappointing performance.

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

I'm fuming here it's nearly midnight and I just can't get that shit out my head so I can sleep.

Too much passive passing and no killer instinct pretty much story if the season, fingers crossed we actually get at them with some determination Tuesday but I can just see more if the same of tonight to be honest.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Trying not to be negative but if we really want to make this style work, we really need to sign and out and out target forward to Give us a outlet upfront and to get on the end of our crosses

 

[Evo1883]

Chris what are you annoyed about mate , ellis simms hasn't scored or assisted for 13 games , hes been fucking awful .

I dont pick the team pal , frank does .

Ellis wouldnt make my best 11 , but I was happy for him to start and for asante to come on against tired legs , frank didnt see it that way

 

[TomRad85]

I think we move on 7 or 8 players in the summer. Not really the thread for it though.

Mate I think you could not be negative if you tried! Youre one of the most positive on the forum

I think both Simms and BTA will be moved on in the summer.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Don't get the Grimes criticism tonight , he carried and covered for the anonymous Sheaf all night

If anyone is criticising grimes they haven’t got a clue about football. Sniffed out danger, filled in gaps. Put a couple of poor crosses in but other than that was excellent

edit - he was slow with the ball as Sunderland sat 10 behind the ball and there was fuck all options. They did a job on us

 

[SKYBLUES90]

Let’s see how next Tuesday plays out

guaranteed we lose

might aswell not bother watching then. Twat

You should of seen my posts regarding the start of the year

Maybe I'm confused. You constantly slag off Simms but then on another breath say that you're happy for him to start and BTA to come on later. Sorry but I just don't get it .

 

[jordan210]

Did we make any key passes in the final 3rd ?

That’s what torp is so good at sliding balls in

 

[fernandopartridge]

Sheaf was terrible. Back to being reckless with the ball

He wasn't wreckless just nothing

 

[Tommo1993]

Sheaf so many bad touches and passes. Grimes admittedly slow, but fine with the ball. Asante busy, did a lot of chasing but also struggled to get on the ball.

I honestly wouldn’t give Wright anything higher than 1/10 though. He’s been fucking awful recently and if he’s the type to just switch it on whenever he wants then we should be looking to offload him. Completely lacks both effort and quality.

 

[Lionelr]

It’s easy to sit here post match and critique. There were lots of good performances on that pitch, lacking a little creative juices in the final 3rd. I genuinely think we will do the job on the away tie

 

[Evo1883]

In fairness I thought grimes was our MOTM , with saka playing well too .

Sheafs a weird one

He fits the gattuso meme so well

EMC, Wright, Sakamoto is our best front 3 imo. Wright has been generally wank whether on left or in the middle recently but at least he's capable of scoring unlike Simms.
I think Frank likes EMC too but people have struggled to accept this for a long time. When he's fit he generally starts.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He wasn't wreckless just nothing

He pondered and was caught out multiple times. A familiar story

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Anyway no point dwelling on it till Tuesday.

Come Tuesday night we could have won 0-2 and be in the final.

Have a good weekend everyone

Grimes was good, always making himself an option.

Ok

What do you want me to say ?

 

[stupot07]

I miss Torp. Sheaf was poor, Torp pulled these apart last time out.

Horses for courses. Torp is much better when we have lots of the ball, Sheaf is much better when are having to defend. When a team is sitting back like Sunderland did tonight, you really don't need to play Grimes and Sheaf.

 

[ms639]

The 2nd goal is what it is. Players make mistakes but time and time again Bobby Thomas thinking he’s prime Beckenbauer absolutely fucks us. A revers pass across his body wrong foot and then rather than staying up with play decided the best option is to jump stop to try and play Isidor offside.

As bad as the 2nd

They are just going to sit deep in a low block, waste time and shithouse for 90 mins in the second leg. And their fans are going to be behind them.

Need 1 goal and suddenly all is new.
