Maybe Haji Wright should have started... Oh he did. Awful show from him. Ben Wilson poor but that was always the risk. Sheaf not great.

I think we all agree with very good home record, so much so people have been calling it the GBH. We have only picked up 2 more points than Sunderland this season at home.

Context is everything, their form at home was heavily weighted with the first half of the season. Ours was hampered by the poor home record under Robins.

Poor defending and goalkeeping for both goals tonight and the usual scapegoat didn’t play.

MVE takes so many unnecessary risks with his back passes it’s a real Achilles heel in his game.

Done and dusted let's be honest. No way we break them down sitting back for 90 minutes up there.

Lessons to be learnt for Frank. No Simms is bonkers.

Think the lads worked and tried hard. Sakamoto was good.

Won’t harsh MVE out for his mistake.

Saw nothing to suggest we can’t beat them in their own ground.

Strange starting line up , strange subs

what are you on about

Starting lineup was what has been our normal lineup for ages with the one change of BTA who did more in 20 mins vs boro than Simms has for weeks.

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.

They are just going to sit deep in a low block, waste time and shithouse for 90 mins in the second leg. And their fans are going to be behind them.

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.
Click to expand...
Was it that bad? Wright was useless but everyone else huffed and puffed against a team playing very deep. Would have taken Wright off for Simms at the same time BTA came off. If anything we were guilty of over-committing looking for the advantage in our home leg, but the ref played into their hands and we didn't adapt after their first couple of dangerous counters. Tie is far from over.

What's the first mistake ? Genuinely curious because I've seen the replay and he's offside.

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

Trust Frank to do the business.

I am not too despondent.

These things happen, annoying as they are.

MVE is a top player, but every player has it them to give stupid back passes

It's still been an excellent season and we CAN still turn this around

Get an early goal in Tuesday and it's game on again.

Keep the faith.

And to think, if we don't get promoted, the one player we're likely to lose to a premier league/parachute club, is the one that has very much, almost cost us the play-offs.
So much work to do up their now and with how toothless our attack are mixed with our away form and them happy with the low block it's a VERY BIG ask. Outside of Rudoni our forward players offer nothing week in, week out. All of them want too many touches. Our long throws and corners were poor and we didn't threaten from them all night (not helped by the ref blowing up for a free kick every other one).
We've again played ok but gifted 2 goals. Thomas stupidly trying to play for an offside that never was and MVE. A team that gifts as many goals as we do don't deserve it anyway.

Disappointing result, especially after all the talk of taking an advantage up there.

Still all to play for though. Only 1 goal in it and their fans won’t accept them sitting so deep at home.

Awful ball and played them onside , probably a poor passage of play rather than a mistake

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
Click to expand...
Yeah, same here.

When you lose to a really bad backpass, it doesn't matter how well you played. We gifted them a goal.

It's not over though. Sunderland surely won't play like that again on Tuesday.

Well that was a huge let down.
It's not even that we played badly - we controlled most of the game.
1st goal looked offside, but sky didn't really make much of that.
2nd goal was just a terrible pass from the otherwise excellent MVE.
Sunderland scored with their only 2 shots on target iirc.
Feel hard done by.

Possession isn’t enough in this game, we needed to carve out more. Sunderland executed a good game plan and took advantage of our mistakes.

It’s far from over but given our away form, we need a huge performance to turn this around… but you know what? We’ve arguably got the most experienced and best head coach to deal with high pressure situations, so fuckingbelieve
