Yeh difficult one for them to approach. You want to kill it off but starting a game in a winning position is different to the norm and mentally the temptation would be to sit back.I think we may get more joy in the away leg.
If they try and sit and defend a lead their fans will get tetchy.
They had shots.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.
We were well worth the draw until the MVE mistake gifted them a goal.Sorry Frank, that was on you..Simms should have started
Agree totallyI think we may get more joy in the away leg.

Sunderland really aren’t a vastly inferior side.When are we going to put to the sword these vastly inferior sides. We need a bit of nouce around in and around the box with a bit of intelligent one two's. We play tight triangle in the middle third but slow it right down in the last. Still think we will go through as Sunderland cant possibly sit back and defend the entire game again ..surely?
I was in line with Kitching, he was playing him on for the first.Well that was a huge let down.

Not sure what Wilson has done wrong really? Maybe a little too far out his goal for their second but we had the ball and Sunderland were no threat so teams expect a keeper to show nowadays. So his positioning for me was OK. It was the pass that fucked it. A better pass and Wilson is in the right position helping out his defence. That pass kills him off thoughMaybe Haji Wright should have started... Oh he did. Awful show from him. Ben Wilson poor but that was always the risk. Sheaf not great.
Big upgrade next season when Frank (hopefully) gets a window.When are we going to put to the sword these vastly inferior sides.

It definitely feels like there’s been a lot of complacency that we’d win comfortably tonight.
Sorry Frank, that was on you..Simms should have started
Yes I didn’t really get it to be honest. I expected a 0-0It definitely feels like there’s been a lot of complacency that we’d win comfortably tonight.
If we score early you just know how their fans will react.I think we may get more joy in the away leg.

Im not saying there was from the players…if anything a lot of them looked nervous.From the fans yes but we didn’t play.

Are you drunk?Kitchin is behind Thomas, Thomas is the closest inline with him.
Never saw us winning tonight - Got their set up 100% correct.It definitely feels like there’s been a lot of complacency that we’d win comfortably tonight.

Yes it was that bad.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.
If Rudoni scores early you just know how their fans will react.
To put his head through?Big upgrade next season when Frank (hopefully) gets a window.

I don't know why we didn't.Should have started the same team as we did against Boro
