I think it’s the manner that’s got people. A last minute give away goal is a killer. At 1-1 it’s game on but throwing it away it’s a bitter pill to swallow. Sunderland came for a draw but we gave them a win.
Too tough from here I think .
Team were shite, Simms wasn't playingSimms is shite
He didn't playI think Lampard will ditch Simms he’s been terrible
Oh no, I like to think my team can win games! Bad form.Maybe.
Could be overly positive like you in recent weeks predicting we'll do the likes of Plymouth.
We lost one game, how is that "turning the tide"?Exactly and the tide has turned. We've always done well up there but it's different now.
We were awfulIt’s easy to sit here post match and critique. There were lots of good performances on that pitch, lacking a little creative juices in the final 3rd. I genuinely think we will do the job on the away tie
He was awfulDon't get the criticism of Thomas-Asante. He wasn't given the ball enough, despite making some excellent runs. He was a pest for them and they got lucky with the way the ball dropped at times. He set up a great chance for Sheaf. He did more than Simms has managed recently and gave far more to the cause than Wright who didn't challenge for anything and might aa well not be on the pitch.
We simply weren't awful.We were awful
He didn't play

We can go through the list of things you get wrong but I have a coach to Sunderland to catch on Tuesday so I'm not sure we have time to fit them all in.
They get the first goal and it’s sorted. Can’t really imagine us scoring two, so even if they score at anytime it’ll be done.
What have you seen to suggest we can go up there and get a result?
Can just see them sitting in again and hoping to hit us on the break.
We get a goal it changes the tie again but not sure how we go about doing that.
From the fanbase that bought you “team full of pussies” comes the hot new forum trend: Rob Roy-posting!We need 2 goals to get them to change their plan. I don’t see us getting one playing the same way.
Everyone said Gus had dragged us to the playoffs single handed.

47 games later and we've finally arrived. Step up Frank and the boys; make Tuesday night a night to remember.
Disagree, we controlled the game start to finish. Very similar performance wise to our 3-0 win last time at the CBS, we just lacked the creative aspects. We simply struggled to get passed their low block (something we have struggled with all season, Plymouth, hull etc). Sunderland had 2 chances and took them, they played dreadful footballWe were awful
I think we controlled the game and didn’t really look under pressure, however there’s a difference between controlling the game and doing something with that control.
Game plan was ponderous and slow, which then lead to passing to the FB/winger who was isolated/outnumbered. And repeat.
Did we look threatening ourselves? Nah, we looked toothless.
Ghosts that won 2.1So glad some of the people on here don’t play for us, some right bottle jobs. There’s 90 minutes of football left and we have to score a couple of goals against a team whose midfield this evening looked like ghosts. Chill!
If we had drawn the game it would have been fine
Wilson fucked up and there was an uncharacteristically bad error by MVE - we have masked the fact we have no decent central striker but last night showed we needed one. I actually thought we put loads of crosses in their box
Frustrating result but on the flip side Sunderland can’t deploy the same game plan they did last night at their place which I think will suit us more.
Last few years we’ve turned them over at the SOL, comfortably on a number of occasions. Weirdly I think it might work in our favour them winning, almost gives them a false confidence. More open game without them putting 10 men behind the ball and slowing the game down as much as possible will see us a better team.
First goal is key, we get it and we blow them out the water…I hope
why can't they?Frustrating result but on the flip side Sunderland can’t deploy the same game plan they did last night at their place which I think will suit us more.
Yeah I love MVE and think he’s been excellent this season, but those scatterbrained moments are why he’s currently playing for us and not a team in a top league.Unfortunately, those dodgy passes from MVE are not as uncharacteristic as you’d think.
There have been several occasions where he does these passes to no one and it invites pressure. Whilst it’s only lead to 2 goals in recent memory (Plymouth and last night), it’s something that needs to be worked on in the training ground. In the Prem, if he ever gets there, it’ll be punished more ruthlessly.
Or back heel the one 4 yards outWright needs to be dropped. Why didn’t he hit that cross in the second half first time, trying to control it in the 6 yard box
I imagine they will try the exact same thing but the chances of it working again feel low - can't realistically sit in for 180 minutes and get as lucky as they did yesterday for the majority.why can't they?

Well we can’t seem to beat the low block (cringe)I imagine they will try the exact same thing but the chances of it working again feel low - can't realistically sit in for 180 minutes and get as lucky as they did yesterday for the majority.
I think if we score the first goal, their plan goes out of the window. Haven't there been times this season when their fans have been booing them, despite the amount of time spent in the top 6. Think the place becomes nervy if we can grab the first goal.We need 2 goals to get them to change their plan. I don’t see us getting one playing the same way.
