What so Sunderland can call us cheats yet again?
Rather take our own chances to be honest, but guess we'll grab anything going in our favour at the moment. Don't wish ill on any club, but it is self-inflicted. Splashing money around like it was water.
Just heard Mick McCarthy asking where Lady Luck was today for his team ."Penalty, sending off, carried off" he bemoaned. "Where was Lady Luck today?"
Hmmmmm.. :facepalm:
Crystal clear penalty. As clear as the nose on your face. No doubt whatsoever.
Sending off. Clear sending off...
It's just one game today.
Yes, we played really well, yes let's all give plaudits, but, it was against 10 men and Boro have themselves been on a sticky run and we did have an own goal to our favour and we did possibly get some luck with the 2nd goal and it maybe not being over the line.
Don't...
Ipswich, Leeds, Barnsley, Palace, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Peterborough, Millwall and Doncaster.
I can see 4 wins out of that lot. Then maybe a couple of draws and 3 defeats.
We need to start winning on our travels.
No bad performances I would say.
Clingan was a bit off the pace and drifted out of the game at times, but thought Platt and Nimely were both excellent and McShuff was always a problem for the Boro defence. Deegan had a good first half and Cranie and Keogh were both pretty solid at the back, as...
I always make a point of never criticising any player who comes to the club and am always willing for them to have an opportunity to show what they can do.
Remember when Platt was linked he was given loads of stick, but today he proved what he can do.
Yep, had CWR on while watching the game. There was fluidity for sure but at times we definitely played with a front 3 and that's as the CWR team called it too.
Never in a front 3? Different game to me then and Clive Eakin and Noel Whelan. At times it was very clearly a front 3. Both Eakin and Whelan alluded to this on a number of occasions. Shuff had a more free role but they lined up as a front 3.
Yeah. Though Thorn got just about everything spot-on. The Deegan thing was the right decision and playing 3 up front I think caught Boro on the back foot.
I too would have liked to see a further sub to counteract their 3. If nothing else, it gave their team 3 sets of fresh legs and helped them...
Think that is correct.
Only 6 goals on our travels not only points to a lack of goals but a lack of chances created too. We have to do something about it. We need wins on our travels. Without we are down for sure.
