WARRIORS.......

I thought Vini did well tonight and he looked liked he was struggling quite a bit as he kept rubbing the back of his right thigh all night.

For me we made it easy for Sunderland when we went forward. Too many players stopped their forward runs and looked back to pass backwards. It was Southgate football. Burrows and Rak-Sayki were the main culprits as well as O'Hare and Siriki on a number of occassions. It was frustrating watching us doing the defending for Sunderland when there was no one near the player with the ball and they were under no pressure. They could have continued their runs and got a cross in. When they did keep it they cut inside and ran straight into a defender and couldn't get the cross off. It was so annoying watching us do it time and time again.

I think you're spot on,back to the old 'Wilderball' days.
The players must be under orders to do that for some reason,it always seems to allow their mid players time to get back and create more defensive players.
Very frustrating

I wonder if this negative play was from CW instructions ?

Considering we were beat more times than eggs in an omelette making competition last season, it’s a miracle what Wilder has done with the mentality.

I haven’t had the time to count up all the added time but just in batches of 90 minutes, 12 hours without conceding at home is remarkable yet coming from such a low bare as last season is absolutely insane.

This is it exactly,we have become a much more robust team both physically and mentally,maybe too much at times,but we don't fold under pressure,we have spells where we are under the cosh but we weather them and come back at our opponents,we are going for the full 90 minutes in most cases,and whenever we are put under pressure we respond with character and the appropriate tactics to keep our heads above water and then push them back.
Our small squad has been rotated very well and everyone has made their contribution whether as subs or starters,we are not the most technical team,but the Championship is not all about technical skills,there has to be a lot more and we are getting the right balance,we are not soft touches and wont be bullied,we rely on individual touches of brilliance like the goal last night and need more of moments like this to break teams down, hopefully we can bolster in the JTW because with the cards and suspensions as well as making the squad better,we need extra, because I can see many more battles like last night coming up for the rest of the season,and we can't afford to leave ourselves open to unexpected events in games weakening us for games to come
