redkev Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Just surmising , if rob is out for a while kalas is the obvious replacement , if we lose another there are other options without panicking to much , Tanner could possible drop into the middle 2 you then have Wilson and jay to cover the full back positions , pring could possibly drop into the middle 2 , so there are other options not quite the bare bones yet , even Naismith ( when fit not sure how far away he is ) Quote Link to comment

He did travel back with the team though, his knee was in a brace thing and as I said he wasn't moving well and didn't look comfortable. But, that said my positive is that at least he was going back with them and not taken to hospital. Fingers crossed for him 1 Quote Link to comment

Rarely throughout a season do you get your pre-season “best eleven” on the pitch. Football has its funny little quirks like this. As for Kalas, he had a very tidy game, and playing LCB2 is where he plays for the national team so no issues for him in terms of body position both with and without ball. Whereas other right footers who’ve played LCB when they’re used to playing RCB look lost, e.g. Bailey Wright. He played some nice balls into midfield / forwards too. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rudolf Hucker Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 The ref was right not to award a pen for the first half incident involving Sykes but was spot on awarding one for the foul on Dasilva. Imo of course (but I’m right!) 2 Quote Link to comment
The Journalist Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I thought we played really well. We were on the ropes a bit for 15 minutes or so after they scored, but we deserved at least a point over the piece. I’m genuinely really chuffed for not just the manager and players for everything they’ve put in but also the fans who’ve stayed behind them home and away. It’s been a long three years for City fans, really - football without supporters thanks to Covid and then, by and large, some pretty poor stuff since. It’s not been easy following that lot up and down the country, I’m sure. But I feel like, after a long time putting the foundations in among a whole lot of subsidence caused by previous incumbents, the walls are finally starting to go up and everyone’s got something a bit more tangible to look at - a young, hungry team playing good football and getting the results they deserve. Well done all and hope you all have a good night. Enjoy it, it’s been a while coming. 4 Quote Link to comment

I disagree as I think it is a Pen, but I also agree with you. I'm so used to not getting them I wouldn't bother complaining. I said earlier, in the middle of the 469 days it was exactly the type we weren't getting. Quote Link to comment

I thought Sykes forced the contact. He goes into their player rather than the other way round. Too many refs get deceived by that sort of thing. 3 Quote Link to comment

Plenty of “moments” where you felt a little bit better Final pass and we’d have got that equaliser. Great pen. 1 Quote Link to comment

Looking for positives, I'd say we don't lose much in the heading, and though we lose some in bringing the ball out , Kalas is a proper defender and is a little quicker than Atkinson. I think we have officially hit "Bare Bones" territory . Quote Link to comment
One Team Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Sunderland forum seems to generally credit our performance, although this quote made me laugh: ”Go well for the rest of the season chaps, be a great story if you lot got back up.

Offside Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Very pleased with the draw, especially after I checked my phone and saw we were 1-0 down in injury time. Very cool penalty by Wells. Safe journey home to the City fans who made the trip. Quote Link to comment

Totally agree Dave , I understand we will never have the first eleven on the pitch due to injuries , and as I said in another thread the injury situation is so much better than previous years but we seem to get so close to a full squad then there’s another injury it seems 2 comeback then 2 get injured. But like I said not the bare bones as there are a few options with a bit of jiggery pokery, shammed though because the back 4 recently picks itself and has been pretty good 1 Quote Link to comment
