Sunderland Match Thread

[72bus]

Sunderland used the wings well both Clarke and Ba got plenty of the ball.
NO good hitting long balls to Sinclair when no when gets near him
Ref was a disgrace and linesman missed loads .... On to Tuesday

Sunderland a decent team and 10 man QPR means we shouldn't read too much into the result. I am pro GA but his current insistence that we have enough forward players seems flawed. Yet again no forward scores. If he doesn't fix that (however) the definite progress that we have made might mean very little.

Begovic poor today can’t even perform basic tasks. Ten men and awful ref our downfall today. Need a goal scorer desperately

[SheepRanger]

Very disappointed that we didnt make a sub as soon as the red card came. We just sat deep and drilled long balls to SA. We lost composure from that point onwards hoping to hang on for a point with 60mins still to play. It just wasnt going to happen......

Saw the replay of the sending off yellow at most ref couldn't wait to get the red out with the Sunderland players screaming at him, didn't book one of their players makes you wonder if he was for them.

Was he just eager to show off the round red card?

[SheepRanger]

Never thought I would see a keeper who was worse than Tony Roberts but I'd argue Begovic is worse. A complete donkey. How a professional footballer can kick a ball repeatedly into the stand and not keep it in the pitch is a disgrace.

I counted 7/8 went straight into the stands and we lose possession!

It's a red card all day. Catches the guy halfway up his shin with his studs. He's off the ground and it's late. If that was against us we would all be screaming for a red card.

Need to play Dykes and Sinclair up top.
one up front is no good.

Tuesday is now a must win. No excuses. Play dykes up front. Maybe start willock alongside chair. Armstrong off the bench.

I hope someone is going to take a look at the refs performance today.
I think Sunderland brought him down on there coach.
They need to check the refs dressing room see if when he takes his refs shirt off he's not wearing a Sunderland one underneath.

FT

No card. Un f**king real. Not even a FK, just a talking to.

[Kingaustin]

Smyth was at fault for their first goal . Letting Clarke on his right to cut .. he was doing it all game !!

Before the sending off we was in control and did think we could actually win this today we was confident . Soon as the red card I knew we would loose .

As much as I think we have turned the corner slightly we then push back again to square one

this is a result’s business and results are not good enough atm .

[Fraggy]

Rangers player just got stamped on. Not seen colour of card yet. Should be a red
