Sunderland don’t look like they’ll stay at the top of the league

Will take that result before the game, better due to being 2-0 down.

 

[Boicey]

Good result. Pleased to see some team spirit.
Play Tats ......

 

[ccfcmad1]

Credit to the boys for the second half decent showing

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Good point considering I thought we was gonna take a proper hiding today

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Fair play, great result in the end. Time to get the new man in and back him.

 

[Jamesimus]

Second half was much better. Sakamoto took an excellent yellow card like a pro, love to see that.

Shout out to Lati for a much better second half in the middle as well. Obviously shouldn’t be allowed to make forward passes though.

 

[Hobo]

Great away point that. Battling performance second half.

 

[Mr Panda]

Good point. Now stay tuned for Captain Sheaf to make his public apology

 

[Sick Boy]

Great point all things considered. They must hate playing us hahaha

 

[fatso]

Wright is our best player by a mile.

He is, and he'll be missed, but with EMC on the left and Simms and BTA/Bassette up front, we can keep our ballance.

 

[Marty]

Thought we did alright in the second half. Couple of errors cost us, and they scored a worldie but they weren't nothing special.

 

[covcity4life]

We have issues to resolve but think it's time to stop saying recruitment has left us with a shit squad. You don't draw away to leaders with no manager of the players have no talent

 

[TomRad85]

You have no idea how happy I am that those cunts still can't beat us. If Wright is badly injured that is a real problem though.
Rudoni was good. Stop wanking over O'Hare.

 

[Osullivan18]

Seen the replay of their second, Collins should have done better for me

 

[Skyblue_LDN]

Dug deep and the rub of the green, happy with a point. After this week a lose would have made the international break even more unbearable

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I walked down the pub at half time and it was on in there, we were far the better side

 

[Grendel]

I don’t see what robins issue ever was with Collins really. He’s a reasonable keeper at this level

We did well enough. Worry about Wright but most on here expected a hammering and we were motivated enough to get back in the game

 

[steve101]

Very good point in the end. They showed some heart. Rudoni didn't have the best of games but great header, involved in the first and worked extremely hard tracking back.

 

[ccfcchris]

Their forum will be fun reading.

 

[PVA]

Great point. Looked a real nasty one for Wright though, hope it's not too serious.

 

[TomRad85]

We don't have a shit squad it's nonsense. We're short in 1 or 2 areas sure but it should be doing better.

 

[Alkhen]

Sunderland offered little bar those two worldies, I bet the xg on both was tiny. Bar there was much between the teams. Certainly deserved a draw

 

[Skybluekyle]

Not going to lie, even as probably one of the more optimistic fans, I was quite negative at half-time.

Fair play, we dug in, Collins made some crucial stops, and we got the two goals.

Hume with probably an orange card if one existed, yellow is soft and red too harsh and a definite pen for the foul on Haji.

 

[Saddlebrains]

That's a fantastic point considering the circumstances

 

[TomRad85]

Agree, Collins was decent.

 

[larry_david]

When does Gimoc turn up claiming wright is out for the season

 

[Evo1883]

A decent base for a new man to kick off from

7th in the last 5 form table only thing is we are going to be without our top scorer

 

[HadjiChippo]

Sunderland offers little bit those two worldies, I bet the xg on both was tiny. Bar there was much between the teams. Certainly deserved a draw

Flash score reckons ours was 0.77 and there’s 0.63

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Quite the run by us

 

[Cally Fedora]

Great point. Wright is by far our best player and we really need him fit. There’s obviously something going on behind the scenes around Sheaf/Simms. No idea what.

 

[Grendel]

I do hope I'm wrong, but I thought we had at least a fair chance of getting something today with Robins in charge, but can't help thinking that firing him before this game and leaving a complete novice in charge, may well have just gifted the 3 points to Sunderland.

Sincerely hope to be proved wrong.

You were proved wrong

 

[alfielloyd]

Tidy point away from home, desperately disappointed to lose Wright for what could be an extended period. Please, please not Lampard.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Hopefully a confidence boost for Rudoni too, time to kick on with a new manager now.

 

[stevefloyd]

Just think if the bastards had battled on Weds against Derby we would have had 19 points and a manager
