Will we stifle the Roker Roar ?

[ivoralljack]

Let's hope we take advantage of the red card and go for it. Knowing us we'll just faff about with easy possession and forget all about scoring some goals which is the object of the game. We need to inject urgency and pace into our football to tire out Sunderland but we should also beware of getting caught on the counter - Stewart is a good striker and we don't want to be giving him any chances.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We have no real width on the field. We are too narrow.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Allen is class

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Ref is inventing stuff now

 

[KVetch]

Good refereeing so far

 

[KVetch]

As long as he doesn't red card us

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Ref missed the dive in tackle against Allen

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Now if we had Flex on the bench he would be an automatic sub-on at half time

 

[KVetch]

It's like the Benny Hill show

 

[Victoria Swan]

Allen is class

Except his last two passes gave the ball away in our own half!

 

[The Blobster]

No cutting edge , boring so far

 

[KVetch]

It seems so easy to predict who were passing to. If we can't get at least 1 in we're in trouble

 

[ivoralljack]

This is us isn't it? No urgency, no killer instinct; just stroll through a game without breaking sweat if possible. We need a Roy Keane type out there driving them on and daring them to give anything less than 100%, else face his wrath after the game. Just like Ducks used to do at my level. My God, if you didn't put it all in during a game you wouldn't want to go near the dressing room at the final whistle.

We lack character as a team. We lack attitude. We lack the drive to go for the jugular and this seeps down from the top.

 

[The Blobster]

Wooooohooooo Piroe gets a tap in for his 10th goal of the season .

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Finally, cross the ball score the goal

 

[ivoralljack]

About bloody time!

 

[KVetch]

Now we can slightly relax

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Now we can slightly relax

Is it possible to be any more relaxed than we have been

 

[ivoralljack]

Now we can slightly relax

No we cannot, KV. We've been relaxed all game by the sound of it. We need to up our intensity, put our foot on their throat and effingwell keep it there.

No we cannot, KV. We've been relaxed all game by the sound of it. We need to up our intensity, put our foot on their throat and effingwell keep it there.

And greatly improve our goal difference
