Sunderland fans doing a minutes silence, then booing the knee. Couldn't make it up.
Please explain. Nelson for Ojo to shore up defence at a time when they had pressure. Philogene off for Sawyers after his second game in three days and he is only 20. Rinomohta on to give more legs in centre midfield at the same time. Harris tiring and possibly had a knock. PS. We won.
We were the better team over the ninety minutes and I can’t remember Allsop making a save.
A word about Watters - Harris had three attack minded players supporting him while he was on, Watters had no one. That doesn’t excuse his poor performance and it wasn’t a complete surprise when he was subbed, but he was up there by himself.
up to 14th now
God this board is really pathetic. How can anyone moan or complain after that result. If Hudson hadn't made those substitutions we probably would have drawn or lost.
That's our 7th clean sheet this season, as many as we had all last season. That's something that's definitely improved.
Quote from WOL:
"Then Cardiff rang the changes and the whole complexion of the game shifted. The Bluebirds brought on more defensive players and the Black Cats were emboldened. Out of nowhere, it soon became attack versus defence. "
Cannot say more......WHY take Philogene off when he is buzzing???? As dml1954 said....he's only 20....he should be able to manage two games a week.
Terrible subs.
Agree, we were the better side. **** Watters, he's not interested. All he had to do was be strong, hold onto the ball, draw a foul, slow the game down. He did none of those things. He's not only shit, but stupid as well. Look at Mark Harris, not the most technically gifted, but he gives everything and more, and that's why he'll have a career at this level, because of his willingness to work and do the shitty stuff for the team, unlike Watters.
I don’t think the tactical change was the problem, for me Nelson helped sure things up. Issue was who he replaced and who with. Sawyer and Watters have no pace and cannot press. They couldn’t keep hold of the ball and couldn’t win it. Any of ODowda, Philogene or Ojo would have been a better option upfront, or even two of them.
Well done Mark and the lads great effort , one nil wins away from are tough to see through.to the end ..
Nice for our brave away crew as they head back on a very long journey home ..
