Sunderland Post Match Thoughts

[CAMiller]

A creditable draw against a team that were in the top 6 at the start of play tonight or two points dropped against opponents who were there for the taking? Whichever way you look at it there's been an improvement under LR these past two games and something to work with as the transfer window opens. Our paper thin squad looked just that as tonight's team sheet was announced so well done to the 15 (out of the 17 named) who crossed the white line and came away with a point.

Thoughts?

Was all over them untill they scored.

Good point but a bit disappointed.

Morrison is starting to show his worth.

The lad from forest...he not all that...but seems to be guaranteed a place in the team

[uttis]

Sorry but who’s the lad from Forest?

Four points in two games against play off chasing teams is a good return, particularly considering the awful injury situation.

Not what the bookies think, now gone from 1/14 to 1/16 to be relegated.

I presume that’s because games are running out very quickly and we’re not really clawing the deficit back.
Hudds, qpr and swfc all have a win now and again so it’s a very tall ask

We were very good tonight against another top team, with a threadbare team. What I like is we have learned to play from the back when required and we look very well organised. Revan was outstanding in two positions neither of them his first choice. They scored with a complete fluke, the shot was covered by Morrison and victor, to loop in like that was complete jam. Only complaint was leaving Hugill on that long, he was so bad Eaves deserves a run of a few games. LR looks to be getting the players believing again.

Good performance and LR seems to be having a decent impact. We're some way adrift though and this may hinder bringing players in who may either be short term loans or those facing L1 football next term - shame, as we had the potential back in Aug to make a go of it this time around. Let's see what Jan brings re comings and goings

We still have this negative mentality that we can’t shrug that when we go in front we all drop 5 yards deeper. We probably scored too early.

Clucas was really impressive and it was a shame he ran out of steam but Morrison was a different class. He won everything and was constantly talking to Haks and Revan.

I thought Christ has had a very good last 2 games as well.

Christ should be good at Xmas, but he will have to watch the crosses at Easter.
