I think 3 dogs and taking your chances together with solid defending is always a punt at games like Sunderland

Would Rambo have shone today ?

I am not sure that he would

A good rest and 3 points and confidence for the side without him

Fine result

I’m starting to prefer Etete to Ugbo.

Apart from one incident, I thought Tanner was superb, especially defensively.

Yes, we were lucky and I think Sunderland are top six, or possibly top two material, but we were so good today. Southampton we’re massacred by them in their last home game and yet we defended so well.

Both are wrong. Wintle is fine. He’s not awful and he’s not fantastic.

However he’s been a part of the last 3 wins so deserves to be let off somewhat.

He's a bit ungainly when he runs but he did not stop running today. He took the captain's armband, assisted the winner, and his teammates made a big fuss of him on the pitch after the final whistle.

Given that Siopis is still bedding-in to the team I'm sure there will be fewer stray passes in midfield as the season progresses and our midfielders become more familiar with each other's game

Ng and Wintle played hundreds of games together at Crewe Alexandra and I noticed today how good their understanding of each other's movement and position is.

This team is going to get better.

I reckon it was more than that. We didn't stop trying to play, we didn't get everyone behind the ball and just hope to get something out of the game. We brought on two attack minded players as well, didn't decide to flood midfield.

Wintle is a fine player but in the more advanced role, he looked a bit of a passenger compared to Siopis and Ralls all action roles. I guess he didn't pick the team, positions, or roles and was following the manager's instructions and stayed on and we won :ayatollah:

I think we lost our composure under pressure and as a result they just kept being given the ball back, Ramsey might have calmed the rest of them down a bit.

Have enjoyed our more attack minded start, mostly when we have won of course.

But every now and then a proper shithouse away win is beautiful. Particularly when you then see all the Sunderland tears.

I thought the back 4 and keeper were immense. We could have retained the ball much better but certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort from all the players and subs, thought they all put a real shift in.

agreed. at times our passing was poor and we just gave the ball back to them all the time.

Seemed to be a competition between the City players as to who could lose possession quickest, which just invited unnecessary pressure. But we defended really well and Alnwick was solid. Not a great display but satisfying to.keep the clean sheet.

But that was in 1989, before the Premier League - and therefore football, and indeed civilisation - existed.

I wasn't able to follow the game today, but it sounds like we absolutely battered them.

Mowbray's interview after the game...

https://youtu.be/JE9vgloOTV8?si=xPwBL9F5iUhpxHyL

Stand out comments:

"Their substitutions, it was like land of the giants.."

"Teams like this who put everyone behind the ball to try and frustrate..
"Southampton conceded five but they wanted to win the game"

"They obviously came for a nil nil and they get one chance from a set play.."
He must've forgotten the two after we'd scored.

Talk about sour grapes :hehe:

And he should be looking at himself and his own players for not being able to take their chances or defend a set piece. Nice that he's thankful towards 'Super russ' popping along and trying to win the game, Someone should tell him that defending well is key towards winning a football match, and if conceding five goals is an attempt to win a game, then we might as well pack up and **** off home. Sunderland are very good on the ball, they're at home, confidence is high, we are without our most creative player, and as a unit, we don't really play between the lines, we try and stretch teams. Maybe Erol and the boys can accommodate Mowbray and his team on their visit. Apart from that, Feck him.

Re: FT: SUNDERLAND 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Only saw the highlights, but whilst it's true that Sunderland didn't make the most of the chances that they created, it still shows how weak we are up front. We lack lively forwards and it's been a couple of seasons since we have had someone who looks a real threat down the wing[s]. Maybe Tanner could be that player. Defence looks like becoming a settled back four, so for me 3 players to challenge for a top 6 - another really good midfielder, a 'winger' aka NML, and a striker who isn't a target man..

If we need anything , it's a target man

I thought Etete held it up well a few times when he came on. I’d like to see him start next game, he’s improving.
