They don''t need to issue an apology every team. They can do that by beating Bolton on saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,916 Posted February 1, 2012 Horrible, horrible night. Hope it''s a long, long time before we see such a pathetic, gutless performance from a Lambert side.Move on and put it right against Bolton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muddy funster 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Well that was a proper load of sh*t. I knew it would happen tonight, but tactics were wrong and we seemed lacking in energy. Take nothing away from Sunderland though - they wanted it more and pressed all the way. Mr O''Neill certainly is a manager of quite some note....as we all knew.

Trent Canary 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Well that was poor, albeit against the form team in the division. Lets put it right on Saturday.As per usual with any convincing defeat the toys get thrown out of the pram on this forum. You win with perspective, and lose with perspective. In my book we are still in a great position, far exceeded my expectations. These 3 or 4 wins arent going to be easy to come by... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that they pressed harder, and wanted it more than we did added with the other points equals what it was - a convincing Sunderland win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,598 Posted February 1, 2012 Spot on Trent. It''s like a competition to see who can come up with the most outrageous criticism. It''s football and it happens. Those hardy souls who made the trip to Sunderland tonight won''t be screaming for an apology. At the end they were doing what they went up there to do. Supporting their team. Oh and it''s got nothing to do with the FA Cup. Sunderland are still in the cup and had a hard game a day later than us. Get over it and move on. We''ve got another hard game on Saturday. Bolton will be fighting for their lives and we will need to be patient. Both team and fans. And a draw wouldn''t be the worst result in the world but here''s hoping we do better than that.

GJP 79 Posted February 1, 2012 Just really poor all round really. The manager picked the wrong team and formation but the players he put out were lethargic and sloppy. Russell Martin struggled at right back and could have done better for each of the first 2 goals. Ayala was shakey too. Zak was probably the pick of the defence and Naughton wasn''t too bad either. Midfield....the shape and selection was all wrong. It just didn''t work at all. Crofts is really not suited to playing on the right of midfield in this league. Not much happening upfront either, though we rarely got them the service. Must be better on Saturday, much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,514 Posted February 1, 2012 On a positive note, I thought Bennett looked good.One of those days. Rough pitch, home team up for it & got a wonder first goal, crowd roared them on & their team went for everything. That''s football. It happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You''ve lost ONE match - away from home to a side on a winning roll.
