By the Opta definition of Big Chance, not even getting a shot away obviously doesn't count & the Sheaf effort is nowhere near the Big Chance threshold. The effort was dreadful & he obviously should have done better, but it's low xG (0.13). It doesn't even make it onto the extended highlights it...

Rudoni's goal was almost identical xG to Mayenda's (0.48 vs 0.50) & was the only Big Chance we had. As much possession & control as we had, we created almost nothing. They did an absolute number on us, forcing us wide & then our only gameplan seemed to be to toss the ball into the box which...

No qualms over any decisions tonight specifically. As I've always said, every sympathy with them over individual decisions etc. as it's an impossible ask, but they really do need to understand when they are being played with the time wasting etc.

Frustrating. It's well known that we always struggle when teams come & park the bus & then you've always got a chance of an error within you. Fwiw, I thought Sunderland got it spot on tactically, 2 incredibly solid banks of 4 then 2 pacy strikers on the counter. On the other hand, I think...

I've seen Bristol City fans saying he shouldn't have been given the game as he's given 4 red cards in his last 4 games... Why is that relevant if they're correct decisions? It actually should have been 5 reds in 4 games as Jones should have walked for Luton vs us. Surely a ref prepared to give...

A reasonable question, but he got everything spot on last night including 2 highly contentious decisions.

Fantastic day. Good performance, the intensity from the first whistle was exactly what was needed & what an incredible atmosphere.

Always likely to end this way imo although sooner than expected. He didn't like the setup at Sunderland as more & more was being taken out of his hands in terms of recruitment etc. with him not having the final say on players & WBA run a similar structure to that too. Obviously they are a big...

Impossible to tell from that & lino is brilliantly positioned.

My worry is when we have come up against supposedly 'lesser' teams away from home, that have a very clear identity of how they play, we have completely failed to adapt to it. Portsmouth, Derby & today we will have known in advance exactly what they would attempt to do & yet we have completely...

2pts should see us over the line. Big let off today.

This is embarrassing

Of course it's the lad who should have been off who scores. Really poor this though & no more than they deserve.

Should be red that.

Eh? He's only had 2 yellow cards all season.

Don't forget with the teams yo-yoing, the money they would have been given gets split between PL teams instead so the gulf just gets wider & wider. Leicester & Southampton straight backup = £102m just gifted to Premier League clubs. If Burnley & Sheffield United go up this year, that's another...

He's off to one of the top clubs in the summer. Man City most likely. Giving him minutes in the PL is all about the optics & maximising the compensation they'll get for him. Annoyingly, he's a Cov kid.

Donated. Well done again MMJ 🩵
