Big big shout out for JCH...this is the Clarke Harris I want to see week in week out....bullying defenders and they were standing off him in the end brilliant today!!!

Decent game today, very stop start first half but got going second. Think they could have pipped it a few times but nothing too clear cut apart from the first half free kick. We cannot keep having chances like that 1 on 1 that Chaplin had, he certainly lacked confidence which cost us the win.

Would have took the draw but we could have won. Burge was again excellent

What are the chances of Chaplin being up for Tuesdays fixture? Let’s hope the face of Jackett gets his blood boiling!

Well done City, an excellent game, particularly the second half, and on balance a draw was a fair result. Our performance gave me a lot of confidence for the season, I think we will be one of the best six teams in the division, and well capable of reaching the playoffs. Excellent performance from JCH, immense work rate and a huge thorn in their side, plus a well taken goal. Well done Burge, some tremendous saves keeping us in the game. Chaplin looks a clever player, I don’t know whether he’ll score 20 goals or not, but he will be our top scorer and will be a good player for us. I also thought Jodi Jones looked good when he came on. Unfortunately we were unable to give him a run at their defence, I would have fancied him. He played a couple of very intelligent passes and I’m hoping that his long lay off will have helped him to mature into an even better player, who terrifies defences with his speed and skill, and has added a real creativity to his game. Excellent performance from our defensive team, and although I note some negatives around Doyle’s performance, I’m thinking we probably needed his experience, drive and aggression, to match their aggression.

good post and I've given you a like but you won't get off so lightly next time you don't use paragraphs.

Some real simple finishes as well. He needs to score one soon, the second one where he was one on one was shocking.

The goalie would have been sold easily for a tap in. Tried a weird weak shot and stood and watched it.

Frustrating as that was, Hazard missed the same and is still touted as the best player in the premier league (he prob is at the mo).

No striker at any level is going to score every chance.

You’re spot on! I looked at my post and thought ‘that’s a slab of words, I should really put in some paragraphs! Then the wife said ‘dinner’s ready’ and, there you have it!!

He DID use paragraphs.

It was just the one though.

There just isn't enough paragiraffes in the world!

Todays match highlights show we should have won this at the death.

[east_midlands_skyblue]

Enjoyed the match today, second half I thought we played well and definitely could have won it at the end but overall a point each was probably fair. Looking forward to Tuesday evening.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Chaplin should have gone round him at the end. The goals will come

 

[cc84cov]

The chaplin chance he missed when he was played square by JCH was easier than Cattermoles goal how he missed that is beyond me highlights on you tube he was putting them away with ease at Pompey.The 1 on 1 he looked slow I wasn’t confident either put it past him or go round him...weak finish might sound harsh but money was spent for him to put them away.Think he will score well for us once he gets going.

 

[Paxman II]

How did Lacazette misshis one on one today? like Chaplin should have scored but even at thehighest level it does not always happen.

 

[tigersb]

Burge was magnificent today

 

[cooperskyblue]

Thoroughly enjoyed the game and atmosphere today. Best game I've seen from JCH and was impressed with Chaplin aswell, think they are starting to get a good understanding together.

Gutted Chaplin didn't score at the end but not concerned in the slightest, he has clearly got ability and of he gets that dame chance again Tuesday night I'm certain he will score.

Scoring from any chance would be a start

 

[Garryb80]

Amazing isn't it. Chaplin is given virtual exemption from criticism whereas Bakayoko got 1 game before being labelled the worst signing in history. Chaplin has missed more chances and yet scored the same amount of goals.

He had 2 of the easiest chances in the game and has missed others.

Gutted by that Chaplin miss. I'm not sure he is fully fit ?! Surely once that ball was pinging towards the line he should have chased it and slid in to try and force the ball home. Instead he stopped and watched.

 

[jordan210]

Chaplin at the moment reminds me of Torres at Chelsea. The player is there and has all the ability but hasn't clicked in to place yet

I was really impressed with JCH yesterday. His best performance by far in Sky Blue. I have not been his biggest fan and after last season was hoping that he wouldn’t be signed. However, since he has got into the team this season I think he has played well with yesterday being by far the best. He was almost Biamouesque against Sunderland! (Just added to wind up a few of the Max haters!). Let’s hope he keeps playing like this.

Well he scored in the penalty area so clearly was not Biamouesque

You didn’t see Max’ overhead kicks, his first against Yeovil or his winner at MK?

 

[Blind-Faith]

Should of put atleast one of those two chances away . You can’t sugar coat it , very very poor

 

[David O'Day]

Grenners would have to go to games to see stuff like that

 

[skybluegod]

He has only played twice and can't choose which games he gets chosen for can he!!! I thought he was one of the few bright spots at Oxford

He played against Arsenal?

 

[oldskyblue58]

I thought the first half was cagey and disappointing. Sunderland were did not play as well as I thought they would and we gave them too much respect.

Second half was much better, but we lack confidence and belief in front of goal...... the longer that goes on the harder it will get. In the end I thought it was a fair result. Chaplin really should have scored and Sunderland didn't like getting some of their own medicine particularly from JCH. Both sides had good chances and Burge pulled off a couple of fine saves.

MOM was JCH, how Cattermole got given it by Sky I do not know..... a little consistency from the ref and he may not even have stayed on the pitch

 

[Gint11]

Finally got round to watching the highlights. Chaplins 2 chances, shit one but we are creating chances which is good. Both of these are easily converted if your on form and firing. It will come.

Burge with some class saves too.
We’re competing, that’s what’s pleasing.
