No player can run as fast as the ball can travel. We need more tempo in our passing at times. Also if a ball is played to a player near the penalty area it is only Grimes and Rudoni who will play it in first time. We need to work the oppositions centre backs more and build pressure. We...

It's their time and their choice. I am sure club facilities are available to them if they wish. Also some of the coaching camps are run by top coaches. It's a new voice and perhaps specializing in certain skill sets. Not just general fitness. Also training with other players you don't...

They spend enough time at the club as it is. Some fans would have them training every day They need a break from the club environment. Remember they work most weekends, Bank Holidays and Christmas as it is. It's not all about physical fitness. Football is mentally fatiguing. It also involves...

Players don't call it cheating they call it , "taking an advantage.". Again all teams do it just some more than others. Waist time, slow the game down, break up momentum, taking free kicks and throw ins from the wrong place, buying fouls by exaggerating the contact, diving. Appealing for...

Sickener but a great goal by them. Better than going to penalties

Considering we score so many goals from crosses, we also ignore good opportunities to put the ball into the box!

I do like the way Grimes whips balls in first time. I wish a few of our other players did! Work the centre Half's !!

Probably because of Rudoni scoring headers

That is a fair point. But would be better if you revealed your plan 😂

Tats never seems to perform away from home.

Good save by Wilson

We don't know for sure because last time Lati played there Eccles was injured.

It isn't. We had 73 per cent of the possession and managed three shots on target which was the same amount as them. That tells you we were very unproductive with our possession and they coped with it.

They coped with what we put into the box apart from Rudoni's header. Our set piece was repetitive and unimaginative.

Yes and also people need to be able to accumulate points and not just have a cartel of elite supporters. who bag the away allocation.

We were the more attacking team with the most possession, not the better team. We created one clear cut chance which Rudoni scored from. The rest Sunderland coped with comfortably. Sunderland came with a game plan of being organised, soaking up pressure and relying on the counter attack...

Its all relative. Why micro zoom on to one player when none of them are really good enough. Let's take our top three candidates Rudoni, Wright and MVE. Rudoni a maybe? Wright and MVE I can see being wanted abroad rather than Premier League. Dovin maybe in 2 or 3 years. The rest are...

But with different players and management. So how we have done previously in play off games is pretty irrelevant.

Isn't that true of most of the squad.

And VAR doesn't make things better. Players get things wrong, managers get things wrong, fans get things wrong. That's football, get over it, stop trying to create a blame culture; if you can't live with it go and watch something else.
