If you were at the match you’d see we’ve been the better team and had the better chances.

Just before they scored their goal and few of us on the Kop were saying losing 1-2 was an unfair scoreline as it should be 4-2 to us.

Think Forest have only had 3 or 4 shots on target and scored 3.

Overall think we’ve played quite well today, even in the 2nd we’ve been good and at 2-1 the more likely team to score.

Deluded beyond belief.

 

[Shawy24]

He's been shite.

He’s not been shite but he’s hung onto it and expected a foul when he’s tackled. He’s looked sideways rather than forward. He’s played a passage of play well and laid it off, but then stood and admired his skill rather than moving to the next phase. He’s neshed a couple of tackles.

He’s good, but at the moment not “up to speed “ for the 1st team

 

[sjl]

Why do you keep replying to me?

Fuck off.

You just talk bollocks pal, so I feel obliged to.

 

[Bladeslife]

Doing exactly what we did at Newcastle last week, score first then had chances to score bit end up getting stuffed.

Yep it's what happens when you don't invest in quality. Even Nottingham forest have players who are fast and skillfull. We must be the only team who doesn't

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Still not brought Brewster on, we saving him for next seasons injury? Suppose he’ll need plenty of time to recover from his hamstring going in the 2nd week of pre season

 

[TheSecondComing]

Can't believe we're yet again losing to another team that's better than us. Disgrace.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Brilliant shot from Casemiro, what a superstar

 

[JoeG]

I despise this group of players

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Trusty and Robinson are crap. Anel has potential, but only if he has good defenders next to him.

Did you see that 3rd goal? How many other basics is he going to struggle with before people see him for what he is. Defensively utter shite

Get him on. Get him on

 

[Half Bond Jls]

He’s now a member of the 100 club though. Not many in PL history can call themselves that!

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Ref seems to have lost his yella card

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Can't believe we're yet again losing to another team that's better than us. Disgrace.

What is the point of this comment, every fucking team is miles better than us but it doesn’t excuse the absolute shite we get served up each week

 

[Thrice]

He's been terrible this year. But I think there's a player in there in the right environment. We saw last year that he clearly has the talent.

Trusty has nothing and Robinson only has passion and physicality.

Robinson can do defensive basics and communicate, absolute gold for a team like us

 

[FriethBlade]

Can't believe we're yet again losing to another team that's better than us. Disgrace.

Yeah but that's not the point is it. Virtually every team we played under Bassett was better than us. But we had some players with heart, passion and a never-say-attitude back then. Most of this lot don't give a shit.

Anel and Siuza in particular can fuck off

 

[The Crab]

Fuck off Anel, and take your fucking Dad with you.

What an embarrassment this team is

 

[Bobby b]

At least Anel can go on his holidays,
I usually comment after a game, but this season a) there's no point (literally) and b) everything I want to say is exactly the same every game

 

[Thrice]

That's inexcusable. Should be benched for that last game for this.

 

[71Blade]

Tell you what anyone thinking we will challenge next season. This season is going to be a very very damaging one whoever is left will be scarred by this. We are a mess of a football club from top to bottom

 

[The Crab]

That's inexcusable. Should be benched for that last game for this.

Wouldn’t even bench him. Fucking loan him and Mr I’m good enough for Brazil to fucking B&Q. They both do enough pointing to help someone find the fucking creosote

They played for the shirt played for the fans how the game has changed. If i was that bad at work I'd expect to be out the door. Don't tell me they care that they give a fuck it's become acceptable to be crap and they don't care

 

[William Large]

Similar to so many games recently. Easily the better side for the opening half, can’t put our chances away.
Enter the defence….cant defend set pieces, cant win the first ball in the box, let alone the second ball. Don’t learn from either what they are briefed pre match or what actually happens time and time again.
Weak, naive and schoolboy defending which has made us an utter embarrassment this season

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Sunderland won the league with 105 points after going down with 19 points.

We’ll have a new team next season, and unlike Burnley and either Leeds or Southampton, the pressure will be off because the fans will just be grateful to have a team not getting pasted week in week out

 

[Compound_Legend]

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Same as Newcastle we threw it away.
Should have been out of sight at half time. Archer should have had a hat trick.
Didn’t take our numerous chances and conceded again with pitifully weak defending.
Hudson-Odoi just had too much quality for Anel and Trusty. Showed how to clinically finish. Two nice goals.
Ref was a dick. Should have been yellow card for the trip on Arblaster and then for the pull back on BBD at the quick free quick.
BBD went down easy for their crucial second but it was still a blatant push in the back, which is a foul I always thought.

Think Forest have only had 3 or 4 shots on target and scored 3.

Overall think we’ve played quite well today, even in the 2nd we’ve been good and at 2-1 the more likely team to score. However many of our players, especially the defence lack pace so we’re always vulnerable to the counter attack.

That’s the problem though isn’t it?

Brereton-Diaz scored and it looks good on his stats but third game in a row he’s missed a hatful.

Simply can’t get away with it at this level.

We’re crap at defending but a decent forward line would have scored 3 against Burnley, had us 3 or 4-1 up against Newcastle and had us 3-1 up today.

They’re a bit more mobile and getting in the right place but you’ve simply got to put them to bed. For all the chances, our forwards today scored one spot kick. That’s garbage based on the chances we created.

You put those away and the game takes on a different complexion entirely.

One of you said to me the other day that BBD has been ok but he’s a Championship striker, he needs 4 good chances to get a goal and you’re dead right.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

It was never a foul on BBD, went down looking for it, not that it would have mattered because the cross went over those two anyway.
We are utterly useless at defending.

Softest fucking penalty ever.

 

[Champagneblade]

That's inexcusable. Should be benched for that last game for this.

Absolute brains of a rocking horse.

Suspended for the one game that Holgate will not be able to play in.

We can see us have another attempt at 4-3-3 or look forward to the joy of Souza at centre back.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Another helping of 2nd half crumble - I'll never lose weight at this rate.

So many of our players have been unfit to wear the shirt this season that it seems unfair to single any out for a special mention but why the hell not Archer, Souza and Anel.

My last possible crumb of comfort was to take those scabs down with us and we couldn't even get that right.

New manager and new team please.

Rant not over, merely pausing for a sulk.
