Don't think this a game for Jones to come on

Relatively even first half. Ref awful. Just got to see if MR gets out-thought by his opposite number during second half. At least they've only got 1 sub left to change things around.

I've quite enjoyed this game so far. Not a footballing classic by any means, but entertaining in its own way.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Really enjoyed that half. Even but both teams committed. Yes lots of fouls but being played in the right way for me.

We’ve matched them but game with few chances. Sterling doing well out of position.

Clarke Harris working the defence but Chaplin disappointing. Doyle taking every set piece is bewildering

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Shipley had a very quiet half

I genuinely forgot he was playing!

I imagine they'd try to scythe him down at every opportunity. We'd need to keep our third sub back just in case.

 

[Nick]

Why is Jones on his loner?

 

[covcity4life]

Ok first half. Sunderland don't look special. We need to attack more though

Jch playing v well. Chaplin looks lovely. Sterling doing good job at left back.

Shipley a passenger. Been anonymous. This is not bullying. I bet Sunderland defenders prefer Shipley side than Thomas side. Maybe bring Jones on and see how he does on left or try Thomas there.

He is, nobody is gambling. So many have gone into the middle from a flick and nobody there

Feel sorry for Hyam getting booked early on for getting the ball. Sunderland have done worse and not got booked.

Agree that JCH has been good today; working hard, winning headers and free kicks. Their defenders will know they have been in a game. I think Chaplin is one good touch away from it clicking for him. Doyle has done well but should not be on every (or most) free kicks. Would like to see Thomas given the ball in front of him to his feet.
Very even game and one goal might just be enough

It’s how he rolls, bro!

 

[sw88]

Does this text a sub malarkey work with the officials too?

 

[Nick]

What's with the stewards new outfits

He's looks like an outcast

JCH having his best game for a while, only gone down once for no reason. He looks so much better when he uses his strength and stays on his feet. It's been a fairly even half with them having a 10 minute spell, but no real chances to speak of. The wall at the free kick was poorly positioned by Burge, both me and my lad said it needed another player on the end.

Somebody needs to two foot Maguire too, then tell him about it as they walk back past him

Really thought he was scoring, the rebound miss was unforgivable

I agree. Chaplins hair is gorge.

It's his silky smooth haircut, isn't it?

Think wasps must be using a security company like they do for festivals etc for the stewarding

Lively! Haha

dunno, but sky blue sams diet hasn't worked

 

[Nick]

Goal, came from a bad Doyle pass

 

[ccfcway]

owch

 

[covcity4life]

All from doyles terrible distribution

 

[sw88]

We give the ball away, Cattermole converts

Poor ball by doyle to concede possession and poor marking in the box for the finish

 

[MatthewWallis]

Ffs Doyle

 

[Grendel]

Goal. Sterling may have done better with the cross but terrible covering by Bayliss

 

[jordan210]

Awful pass out

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Awful ball in, how has that made its way through?

 

[Nick]

What was their midfielder doing in the box? Seems strange

Late run, completely unmarked by any of our players
