Going to be difficult though to find 3 good strikers. I do think FL will play it relatively safe and may keep Simms. We're not going to get any great offers for him in, are we.

Yeah, the "didn't turn up" is a nonsense really isn't it. We totally controlled the game, but just found it really hard to break down their defence. We did have some very good opportunities though. That Sheaf one was a shocker. In fact, whoever he signs his next contract with, I think he has...

I would keep Bassette to be honest. Send him out on loan to a L1 side and see how he gets on. I really like Wright, but he can't carrying being this inconsistent. It's damaging to the team and if Simms is hardly scoring at all, he is a burden to us as well. Can we afford to lose all 3 though...

It would be insane to drop Wright. So, drop Wright and put in the goal machine that is Simms? The player that hasn't scored since the 15th Feb? The sensible answer is to replace BTA with Simms. You keep your top striker in. Wright wasn't as much of a threat last night, for sure, but right...

I agree with a lot of what Lampard said there. I don't think we played badly at all. It was just really frustrating in our struggling to break them down. They were just determined to sit back.

I would rather we did it on Tuesday to be honest

It wasn't good, for sure.

I don't think Wright has been the same since we put those reciprocal tariffs on him

Which just leaves us with bribery, or at least 6 teams getting points deductions for breaking the rules

If we score first, it's back to even stevens. I think they may well change taxt, because their fans will start to get on their back. We only have to win 1-0 for it to go to extra time. We are still in with a very good chance.

Well said, that man. I don't think we played badly at all. We just struggled to break them down, but we are still in this tie and if we score first on Tuesday, it's all to play for. Don't give up heart just yet. Last time we played Sunderland, they didn't set up like they set up last night...

Bookmarked. 👍

Absolutely insane. He has to play

To put his head through?

Ashamed? A bit harsh me thinks. BTA clearly struggled and Wright was pretty ineffective. Sheaf worries me when he tries to dribble through players.... But, ashamed? I don't think anyone should be ashamed of their performance tonight It just didn't click for us and Sunderland defended...

I thought Sky said the replay showed he was definitely ONSIDE. Kitching played him on.

We do indeed. Find it very hard to unlock them

Yeah, same here. When you lose to a really bad backpass, it doesn't matter how well you played. We gifted them a goal. It's not over though. Sunderland surely won't play like that again on Tuesday.

I am not too despondent. These things happen, annoying as they are. MVE is a top player, but every player has it them to give stupid back passes It's still been an excellent season and we CAN still turn this around Get an early goal in Tuesday and it's game on again. Keep the faith.

It's all well and good saying the Sunderland plan is working, but clearly Sheaf should have scored. Twice! One off those had gone in, then people would have said Thier plan wasn't working at all
