Sunderland away match thread

[alexukhc]

Is alright lads we still beat Southampton 

[Engvall’s Splinter]

Thoughts with those who have travelled up there. 

[Red Army 75]

3 clean sheets on the trot. All I got 

[old_eastender]

0-0, awful display but a point I suppose.

Point  

Performance  

Plenty of comments over the years on here of no away point is a bad point. 

[petehinton]

Negatives - Dickie not playing, rubbish all over the pitch, witnessing the whole 90 minutes

Positives - Max, 3rd clean sheet in a row, the game is over

That is correct but as we are safe it’s about seeing improvement in performances and that was truly awful 

[Supersonic Robin]

Decent result, but poor performance.

We're fortunate not to have lost that one.

[Wrongagain]

Those who travelled were robbed by the team!

[transfer reader]

Good point, bad game and performance.

[lenred]

Results wise you take an away draw every day of the week, however dire it may be!

Horrid performance, nice point. The end.

A point won rather than two points lost.

[Harvey86]

Late winners (hopefully?) for Leicester and Huddersfield have cheered me right up after watching that. Brum teetering now

[Super]

Decent point. 

[Curr Avon]

Sunderland 0 0 Max

A great point thanks to Max's excellent saves in the first half.

Spoiled by the swirling wind, and City's sloppy passing in possession.

My big standout from today: why can't Cam Pring shoot when well placed?

 

[cidercity1987]

Quite impressive to keep a clean sheet without Dickie, more by luck than anything I think though

Still shite going forward, not looking promising for next season with Manning

Would usually agree but points aren’t so important now. Would give anything for a decent performance with an indication of how we’re going to play going forward. I hope that isn’t it.

I’d rather see a performance than a point to be honest. I see no signs that the football will get any better. Grabbing a lucky point against a team on an atrocious run just papers over some major cracks in my opinion.

It's alright lads, that's 10 points from our last 6 games.

 

[Dastardly and Muttley]

Never seen a game where we’ve lost nearly every one on one battle, every second ball and the Sunderland players have outmuscled us in every duel.

There was no fight there at all and we’re lucky to escape with a point.

Some will point to the run of clean sheets, but to me that’s fool’s gold. Vardy would bury his chances 70-80% of the time. Sunderland would have scored those chances more often than not. That’s luck rather than good defending.

[bexhill reds]

Perhaps a result of the conditions but that was dreadful. At least MoL was on form. No one else can take much credit from that.

That's a spot on summary tbf!

That’s all these last three games have done. It’s like throwing Poundland wrapping paper over the Grand Canyon.

Is correct but then so is 10 from 5 tbf

[David Brent]

Guessing the players will be thrown under the bus for not following the gameplan..whatever it may have been. It can’t have been that. 

[phantom]

Fortunately the end of the season is fast approaching 

Typical end of season game where nobody is interested and minds are on holidays 

But 7 points from 9 and three clean sheets on the bounce are decent 

[Mr Popodopolous]

At least we didn't lose I suppose. Well done Max.

There isn't really much else to take from it.

We were dominated for much of the first half, second half was fairly poor from both.

Don’t think anyone could argue with your comment, but makes poor watching.
