Mad that Sheaf is a centre mid and he’s pretty silky on the ball, but he’s also one of the last people you want the ball to drop out of the sky to on the edge of the opposition penalty area. Bobby Thomas strikes a ball well more consistently!

Also, don’t want to take anything away from Sunderland who I think executed their game plan perfectly, knowing it exploited our weaknesses. They defended the box so well and the finishes from the lads up front were very good. That Mayenda is a huge talent. It’s a risky game plan that paid off...

Find the narrative “we didn’t turn up” weird. We lost due to a mistake made by a largely good player. Wright was maybe the only player I felt that didn’t “turn up” and he’s still our biggest goal threat. There’s an arguments to be had over whether we’d have been better off starting a taller...

I mean anyone that watches football regularly could see we did show up. Did we do enough in the final third? No. Second leg is the important one anyway!

So glad some of the people on here don’t play for us, some right bottle jobs. There’s 90 minutes of football left and we have to score a couple of goals against a team whose midfield this evening looked like ghosts. Chill!

A fair criticism. Kind of feel like we have to have at least one rapid centre back if we do that. I know MVE drops in but sometimes he is too far out wide to help on a counter.

He defended really well against Patrick Roberts a few times and was decent going forward, always providing an option for a pass.

Yeah I think they’ll give it a go.

Exactly this.

If they are not playing well at home and we get an early goal, they won’t be behind their players like we are. It’s just what they’re like.

Dasilva as well was excellent yes.

Their fans are only behind them when the going is good.

Think the lads worked and tried hard. Sakamoto was good. Won’t harsh MVE out for his mistake. Saw nothing to suggest we can’t beat them in their own ground.

Ah well. It’s only really half time. Think we can win at the Stadium of Light again!

Dominant in possession and territory, without really creating enough clear cut chances. We look the better team, but need to have that final ball sorted.

Start for BTA after his display against Boro. Great to see EMC back on the bench. Not nervous at all, it’s just one really long first half! The big game will be next week. That being said, would be nice to get a couple of goals though!

He is

Does anyone really think that?!

Sometimes there can be a difference in ability, but the difference in how they cope with pressure might not be so obvious to management at first. Hope Wilson does well.

On the rare occasions he manages to overcome the shame of supporting Leicester and actually open the door to leave his semen encrusted bedsit, I imagine the pubs he frequents are pretty squalid. Basically, I won’t be taking his advice on anything.
