Wednesday players look so much faster/sharper than Plymouth, who can barely get out of their own half.

The thing that got me though, was that a few of those misplaced passes were when he was under no pressure. Stoke didn't even have to close him down to cause the error. If he can improve that side of his game, then he's great - but it disrupts our play so much if it happens regularly. Need MVE...

People are always knee jerk early on. EMC and Torp score decent goals against Everton, and we performed well. Lose to Stoke, and Torp is invisible, EMC poor. As fans we tend to the extreme, whereas the reality is slightly away from that.

To be fair, it's been right over the last 7 seasons or so ;)

Tommy Bloody Hutchison (very disappointing iirc!))

We are quite capable of thumping Oxford by 4 goals, but then losing by a couple at Bristol City in the following league game. When Sheaf returns and we hopefully get another player (or two ) in, we'll be fine.

Beat Forest 2-1 didn't we (the year they went up)

If we play with 2 wingers, I want them to keep taking the full back on to try and get the better of them. If it's in an attacking position, then if they lose it, it generally shouldn't be in a dangerous position for us, so it's a low risk strategy. If the wingers aren't having a lot of joy...

Out of the way of the bullet ?

Once in the second half, Saka did the defender completely and had the ball in a really dangerous position, hit a fairly dangerous low ball in, but could with composure have perhaps picked someone out. I can't really recall EMC doing that, and felt that in the shorter time Haji Wright came on, he...

Never mind the squabbling, Vik has scored for Sporting. Come on Arsenal, you know you want him.

Blackburn let in 2 bad goals from set pieces. To be fair, although Derby are crap, they are a threat from set pieces.

Derby and Blackburn will both be down near the bottom.

We've signed Haji Wright as well, by the way.

Except he did v Everton.

Be pretty unusual if we signed him, to keep him from age 24 to say 32 ! Would think most players are ambitious, and if he does well for us and we make millions into the bargain, happy days!

Would think they'll have GCHQ all over this (or at least I hope so)

Stoke City away / Other Topics thread

Not seen it posted anywhere else, but was browsing the Sunderland forum and there is a thread asking if there is a likelihood that weekend games will be cancelled due to policing resources (with all the crap they may be facing from the 'mindless')? Will be gutted, but what do we think? Hadn't...
