Sunderland done a number on us one goal in the counter and an awful mistake

but is only half time

Esoterica · May 9, 2025

I mean that's a yellow card on Grimes. Don't care if it's last second. Guy has kicked him to stop a break.

Nick · May 9, 2025

Looking forward to the fist bumps

Super Frank · May 9, 2025

Now, all that’s left to do is go crush their hopes and dreams at the SoL

TomRad85 · May 9, 2025

I don't know how they've come away with a lead here. Shocking from MvE, that's absolutely criminal.

Jamesimus · May 9, 2025

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

OldBedrocker · May 9, 2025

6 minutes and the cunts time wasted 5 of them he adds on 10 seconds

fernandopartridge · May 9, 2025

Pathetic performance after all the social media nonsense. Lampard demonstrating again zero tactical awareness or flexibility, they came to sit in and we had no answer at all.

AFCCOVENTRY · May 9, 2025

When it matters that was a shit performance at home.

Both goals from our mistakes as usual.

BackRoomRummermill · May 9, 2025

Maybe the Luton model has scared the shit out of everything

Adge · May 9, 2025

Unfortunately it was the perfect away performance from Sunderland and you have to say fair play. Bonus is it’s only half time.

fatso · May 9, 2025

Ok, so we know what we've got to do on Tuesday night.

Trust Frank to do the business.

Great_Expectations · May 9, 2025

Call it agenda if you want, but we got that so, so, so wrong.

Briles · May 9, 2025

I think it's safe to say that whoever gets through isn't beating Sheffield Utd

bukayosakamoto · May 9, 2025

Ref played right into their bullshit. How he blew there when they’d be fucking about for 6 minutes is beyond me. Anyway it’s half time, it’s 4am and I’m drunk so good night.

Shannerz · May 9, 2025

That's a fucking awful way to lose a game.

Poor performance generally, Wright and Sheaf awful, set pieces awful.

This is far from over, but we're going to have to be a fuck ton better than that.

OldBedrocker · May 9, 2025

Not one good ref in the EFL their all fucking uselessl

Evo1883 · May 9, 2025

We just need a win 2nd leg , thats the job and thats what we will do .. any win will take it to extra time and we will go and do the job

Should have started the same team as we did against Boro

Tommo1993 · May 9, 2025

Simms puts in the performance that Wright did tonight and he’d be hung in Broadgate. About time people started calling him out on it.

RoysterE17 · May 9, 2025

Piss poor!!! All these clown fans of ours gloating on forums before a ball was even kicked tonight has now made normal fans easy targets for banter!

SkyblueTexan · May 9, 2025

Embarrassing performance and what a lousy pass from MVE (as bad a mistake as Dickie's for Bristol C yesterday).

covcity4life · May 9, 2025

Shame to concede to shit keeping and a terrible defence mistake but not too down. We did alright and still all to play for in second leg.

Would go back to Simms for that one

Wright has been fucking terrible

He's been awful for weeks. It's like he's been drugged, he's so slow and unreactive. I have no idea what's up with him

TomRad85 · May 9, 2025

We score first there its game on. No point worrying about it until Tuesday now.

Briles · May 9, 2025

I think if we are going to persist with crosses you have to start simms over asante Tuesday

Didn’t Derby lose their first leg at home to Leeds?

Sunderland have been so fucking shit, devastated we’re 1 down

They weren't shit, they played for what they got; a tight game and then hope for something on the break.

Ccfcisparks · May 9, 2025

Would like us to try 442 in the away leg and go for it

This performance sits on one person. Lampard

Eh? It was a decent performance, individual errors cost us. Ridiculous comment

jto123 · May 9, 2025

Not terminal. MVE mistake costly, but Wright has practically disappeared. I do think I would have worried with us going into the second leg with a lead (clinging onto something)

Yeh his performances would have EMC crucified if he produced them. I actually think EMC is the more consistent of the 2 right now.

Perennial Lurker · May 9, 2025

Strange starting line up , strange subs

A 1-0 deficit isn't the end of the world, we can certainly feel a lot better than Bristol City will, and whilst we go to the SoL for a one match shoot-out still in the tie, there are some serious lessons we need to take from this game.

Sunderland tactically did us tonight. They were happy to let us have the ball and attack, knowing we would do very little when we did. They picked their moments and looked pretty dangerous when they did.

Aside from the MvE fuck up, Sheaf caused us massive problems. He keept jaunting forward thinking he can help up front, and in doing so left a massive gap for the Sunderland attacking players. It would be alright if he could offer something in the forward areas, but he can't, and he weighs down our attacking threat significantly. It means we just slop around slowly with very little execution. They're a big threat on the counter attack, and we got sucker-punched by not being smart enough when we needed to be.

BTA is not a target man and it wasn't working with him playing up front on his own. Wright was probably just a bit off today, but was extremely poor. Really we should expect more offensive success, but it was a bit limp and that also cost us.

You have to give credit for the quick reaction, which is exactly what we needed at the time. Grimes was immense and basically did the midfield on his own. The rest of the defence were pretty good (for the most part) I thought too, and Saka put in a shift.

All to play for next week, and we can do it. I think we need to shift our tactics a bit though. Some personnel changes too. EMC and Allen need to come in for BTA and Sheaf respectively. We cannot set up the same way and expect a different outcome.

We have to go there and win. Spare no horses now. Sleep well SBA.
