It always seems Pascal is in involved in every goal we've conceded of late. He was ball-watching, marking fresh air for both goals. Fans were targeting Darlow for the two Spurs goals scored, not the defender who didn't make an effective block, because he is too slow to react. Darlow had no chance ...

whats his assists/ goals so far i know the supply is abysmal, but he isnt doing us any favours So you are expecting him to create goals out of nothing ? We all know he isn’t a 20 goal a season striker. 10 from him might be enough. He has been one of the positives for me. He will get goals but if we ...

Farke needs to stop favouring the three players I mentioned above. Liabilities comes to mind. He is not blessed with Options. Striujk played a poor pass that Walker intercepted, leading to a break away. The goal did not come until after a further two phases of play. I don’t understand how the f ...

First goals for Mateo today

2 goals 1 assist in 428 minutes this season.

Chuffed for for him, will be interesting to see if he can now press on.

Also Harrison’s first effort. Could’ve taken a touch maybe. Farke will be worried as he knows a goalscorer would’ve meant at least 3 more points over the 8 games so far. Harrison looks like a busted flush. Everytime he had the ball he wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible. His head has well ...

It's all academic, as Sunderland are 7th and we're 15th as it stands. They've clearly recruited well regardless of the Burnley result, as they're starting to click. We don't have the quality or depth for that to happen it's fact. Well we place your suggested fact into the Overman fact register for ...

We were always a team looking at 15th to 17th at best. Currently 15th which is about what we deserve. But thats why misses like Aaronson’s will be the difference. That would’ve turned the game. Wheres Weasel with his positivity I am happy with 17th. This season was always going to be a struggle, as ...

See my response to Orange above yours.

We don’t have the players, if you cannot finish good chances it doesn’t matter what formation you play.

There’s a song with the line ‘reasons to be cheerful’. You’ve read quite a few reasoned concerns for our safety, from a number of reasonable posters: do you have a list of positives to counter these, or are we simply to assume you believe in blind optimism? If that’s the case, fine, I admire your vi ...

Bogle? Which was that?

The tap in that he put over the bar.

Every EPL team will be licking their chops at the thought of playing us. A few batterings and the players heads will go down and that's coming soon Leon Why are you quoting relegation circumstances, we have played 9 games. There are loads of candidates this season. You must have won a fair number ...

I think they would have buried at least two of our chances

Walker was a great buy for them. He was the main difference today. Could anyone tell me if throwing on all our centre forwards has ever worked for us? I do think it's just a Hail Mary from DF as he can't work anything else out at that point. If we get beaten by West Ham at home it could be curtains ...

I am not making excuses for Farke, this is a results business. If we were to lose the next game against Wet Spam at home, I would not be surprised if he was sacked. Depends how ruthless Marathe is. It is unlikely he will be given the benefit of doubt considering his record at this level. Massive ...

No just trying to add some balance to the we are doomed crew. 9 games into the season, Jesus H C.

Meh Poor Low quality, lacking ideas, lacking inspiration. The lack of creativity worries me, we don't have sparkling attacking moves coached into us, we don't have exceptional quality players to create chances, so where does it come from? Poor today all round. But we all know this. Even Farke knows ...

We missed our chances - which you cannot afford to do at this level.
West Ham now becomes a massive game.

You never responded to the “Gnonto never starts response” I sent when you last made this rather lazy accusation.

Jesus how many chances wasted.
