What did he do? Laughed at their player?

Their player got booked for the same.

I thought we got some good play between winger and wing back towards end. Made space in the box for once

Just couldn't get that final pass or cross right

Sheafs chance from corner was great I can't believe he shot it wide

It got deflected wide for another corner.

They're not wide midfielders though. When the opposition break they have to drop back. That almost certainly is his job....

Every player on the pitch has. Job when the oppo break. The entire point of three at the back is that your wingbacks can be caught forward and the wide CBs or DMs will cover.

Got to say Sunderland and Sheff Utd looked nothing special given their league position.

Still, when we keep conceding such poor goals we’re making it so much harder than it needs to be. All we know is slowly pass it wide to optimistically cross the ball in.

Sheff utd pre match talk

Wilder - let's target their left wing back, he cant defend.

Hamer - he's a wide midfielder, defence isn't his Primary objective

Wilder- Let's target their wide midfielder who's primary objective isn't defending

Hamer - thanks boss

As I just said I'm sure she hit it wide and it hit a man on the way out. We got lucky to get the corner

I'll try watch it again later to double check tho

Half time - Boss I keep trying to target him but the LCB keeps coming across. SBT assured me this was the wingbacks job!

Hate to agree with Wilder but some of our performances under MR were so piss poor that it mind boggling. If we can find a way not to concede goals, I think the wins will follow. At least we’ve shown some resilience these last 2 games.

No. I think they’re endemic of the defending this season. I’ll have to watch them back but generally speaking wing backs are allowed to go forwards and when they do that’s not out of position no matter what a bunch of SBT posters who only understand 442 and keep calling him a left back say.

I hope Bassette will be able to balance his enthusiasm/petulance as the season progresses. Can be a real asset, as it was today. However, it is fine line and hopefully he can temper enough to avoid bookings and worse.

Mate, watch all our goals conceded. He's a weak link. Call him whatever you want but it's plain to see.
In his defence MVE and Bidwell haven't exactly channelled their inner Stuart Pearce.

Remember Gus in his first season for us? Same thing and he’s a lot younger. But he has everything in his game to be a top player in Europe in time,

Bidwell is a better defender than Dasilva I'm not gong to deny that.

But are we just going to pretend that he wasn't at fault for 2 or 3 goals earlier in the season?

They’re all shit defensively. The goals we’ve given away this season have been comical. Why the left wing back gets the stick rather than the DMs that can’t screen or the CBs who can’t track runner I don’t know.

Due to our issues defensively I can guarantee Carr isn't setting the team up as you think he is.
