Josh Eccles is not a RB. Let's not revert to putting square pegs in round holes.

After the 4 hour drive home, I have got over my initial disappointment. It wasn't a good performance defensively again. And as much as I like binks he has been too weak down that left hand side this season and the less said about JDS the better. Kitching and Bidwell have to come in for me...

Indeed, he just doesn't put in a challenge. And I mentioned earlier in the thread he's been told not to overlap which just seems to make him even more redundant. Bidwell in when fit for sure.

LB is still the major issues it means whoever is there is playing for two defenders at the moment. JDS just gets bullied.

Tbf the first 5 minutes had intensity which dropped as soon as the Cardiff players stopped pressing the CB's. At which point they can't work out how to break the press. Need better movement in the middle.

Seemed like he should save it from where I am sat in line with it, admittedly not the best view. Will confirm later and possibly back track 😉

A good save? It was a fucking woeful save. And he should have saved the goal as well.

Yeah I think it's clear the way FL wants us to play but also clear he's only had 2 days with the team as the midfield lacks fluidity.

We aren't far away from smashing them. Midfield need to show for it more to allow us to beat their press centrally as well as wide. Think we will win it second half still betting on 3-1. Eccles quietest performance, we lack a proper progressive ball carried in midfield when playing a flat 3.

EMC out that on a plate. Has to score.

Da Silva has clearly been told to invert inside and not overlap. Not that it was this strength but him staying back isn't a strength either

It's any 'serious' injury not a head injury. Common misconception. Although this wasn't serious either. Poor refereeing for me.

What is Thomas playing at?

Collins is woeful.

Their GK's have been out 10 minutes longer than ours already. Aled williams out 😡

EMC was excellent at covering his LB last season for Peterborough. Give the guy a chance.

Was the surprise meant to be EMC? If so not really surprising

That was my guess too.

Agreed. Lad at work who is a Sunderland fan says the same. I told him I don't think they will last the season given their young team and he agrees with you that Top 6 is the target. Interestingly though he said we are the best team they have played at SoL this year. (Might just be because I'm...
