A terrible performance but a decent point.

Onien should face retrospective action for that foul on Vik. Went in to break his leg.

They won't because he was given a yellow. I know I'm prone to moaning about refs but today's was genuinely awful.

We need to keep Kane.

Not going to happen Nick

Things to take away and improve, teams are well aware if they keep sheaf and Hamer marked it takes away most of our creativity.

This new formation will really help us to switch it up to counter the man marking in the middle. My word Panzo is some signing.

Nick · Jul 31, 2022

Despite what Sky said, we had more chances.

Well we can't play Eccles there and Dabo usually misses a few games a year.

Silsden · Jul 31, 2022

We woke up in the second half, reasons to be optimistic still- Panzo was superb barring a couple of misplaced passes, Palmer looked good when he came on and is still getting up to speed, great goal by Vik. Thought Walker did well also. Bidwell’s delivery was awful today as was Gus’s. Tayo hopefully will be a big player for us this season

Then we need to replace.

Not too worried. Was their cup final and we mostly looked comfortable. Ineffective without O’Hare but thought Palmer looked like offering something very different. Not trained since O’Hare was injured so you’d expect us to be disjointed. Hopefully we can work out a game plan before next match.

Thought Panzo looked excellent, Sheaf was good, Dabo did well when he came on, Hamer will play a lot better than that. Lots to be positive about. There’d be a bit more if we can bring in a loanee AM though.

I think my biggest positives out of that were Panzo and palmer. Panzo excellent all game and think he will be a real asset for us this season.
Really liked what I saw of palmer, think he looks composed and probably more of your typical mould number 10

Paxman II · Jul 31, 2022

Considering O'Hare and Dabo were missing and a few players not turning up first half I'll take the point, but really Sunderland were there for the taking. We were too messy first half and gave away a goal which questions Moore and the use of Eccles at wind back. Eccles is not anywahere near the first team on this showing. Pace and energy after the subs brought about the goal, which was class from Gyokeres.
We need to get focussed for next week as this was a slow start today. If anyone can't see why we need O'Hare in our side and the way we play, then you are in denial. We missed his enrgy today. But we dug in and dug ourselves out of what would have been a poor defeat.
Bidwell looks like he has resigned himself to Ardarmola coming in!

Need to replace him then. Do you know if that's going to be possible budget wise?

Then with Dabo's fitness record we need to sign a RWB as Eccles is not one. Maybe Burroghs would be better.

Onien with a career ender on Gyok

Onien has that same crazed look as the old Priest in Father Ted.

I think Eccles could make a very good WB in time but he looks lost there at the moment for sure, needs a lot more time in that role.
Burroughs might be a better bet at the moment.

Blind-Faith · Jul 31, 2022

Was nice to see Robins try a plan B , something I cant remember him doing to often and it certainly worked.

Nick · Jul 31, 2022

Wait, Gyo was a handful all match after he scored?

Fucking pundits are awful.

Nick · Jul 31, 2022

"He shouldn;t be beating 2 players to a header"

The push in the back fucking helped.

larry_david · Jul 31, 2022

Burroughs should start the cup game at rwb and let's see what he's got

Coventry getting every call because the ref probably rinses his hair with piss.

Love windbacks they sail down the wing.

Maybe that’s the other loan MR is after?

He did it quite a few times for our late equalisers/winners last season including 433, something I think worked well again.

SkyblueTexan · Jul 31, 2022

If Godden scores that we win the game more handsomely for sure as the momentum was in our favour.

Dabo would have probably started if fit

Brighton Sky Blue · Jul 31, 2022

Could have won handsomely equally could have lost just the same. Will give them a bit of a pass with the last minute injury and Gyo’s goal was superb.

Hopefully lessons learned-we have players who can shoot effectively from outside the box so let’s not be shy.

djr8369 · Jul 31, 2022

If Sunderland can’t do better than they did against a poor performance, a gift of a goal and their defenders thinking it was wrestlemania they will struggle this season.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · Jul 31, 2022

Imagine if that Panzo wonderstrike went in

Is this MOTM thing a joke? They are now showing a "highlights" role.

It's fucking embarassing.

stay_up_skyblues · Jul 31, 2022

I didn’t think it was that bad. We can and will play a lot better but we never looked like getting spanked. I class “terrible” “awful” etc. as going three or four down. Average first half with too many individual errors and improved second against a side with everything (including the officials) behind them.

Panzo looks an improvement (potentially significantly) on what we had. Gus below par today but as usual had to withdraw a bit after a needless booking. Allen is tidy deep but just doesn’t impact the game going forwards enough to support the front two. Deliveries into the box were as bad as I’ve seen I think, madness when you have Panzo potentially on the end of them.

Signs are there for another decent season and I love the insanely different plan B.

Sky can fuck of with the Sunderland love in and obsession with selling our players.

Sunderland’s 40k “atmosphere” was barely existent despite winning for most of the game. Predictable.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · Jul 31, 2022

He was good, not motm though, Viktor or Panzo had better games

hinckley cov · Jul 31, 2022

Not a great performance, but first game of the season and things will improve as we get fitter.

I'm obviously only watching cov players so may sound biased about this but I don't remember him even playing other than faking injury

Their highlights reel showed him making some simple passes, a couple overhit.
