[Rufus Smalls]

Berge is clearly playing deeper to accommodate mcatee

It’s about finding a combination, not quite working yet but certainly not missing Fleck at the moment

 

[SUFCinks]

They look a lot more composed and slick on the ball compared to us. Its fairly even but they look more threatening.

 

[FriethBlade]

What we desperstely need is someone who can go past a man. All this possession football is.well and good but we need a game breaker.

And then Mcatee does that

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Sunderland down to 10 men. Come on you BLADES go for it now

 

[DromoreBlade]

Get in!!!!!

 

[biggiesablade]

Ohhh he's a good lad that Anel

 

[Drunk blade]

Get in there

 

[MancBlade85]

ANELLLL

 

[Headshrinker]

Terrible start so that red card was needed.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

GOAL Well done Ahmedhodzic

 

[Rufus Smalls]

It has to be said….. quality cross from Ollie !

 

[GloucesterBlade]

Firstly McAtee affecrs the game then Anel scores. Two great signings

 

[Need4speed]

any good stream. all mine are buffering AND DRIVING ME MAD

[Rufus Smalls]

Brewster needs to settle down a bit. Just be patient and he’ll score.

Any chance mate - I’m struggling as well?

[drblade]

Need to get Ndiaye in the game more.

 

[JayGreen17]

McAtee looks a class above everyone on that pitch

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Mcatee had a good 1st half. Good passes and crosses and fast and pacey player.

 

[Kop Cat]

Early doors I know (tonight and in the season) Blackburn top losing to Reading who got tonked by Rovrum on saturday.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[jono_t2000]

Glad they got a red card because before that it was hard to tell who the home team was with Sunderland defenders often high up on the halfway line.

I don't actually think we're playing particularly well tbh.

Think Ndiaye needs a rest, as looked tired that first half. Probably go with Khadra for Ndiaye.

 

[Drunk blade]

Mcatee had a good 1st half. Good passes and crosses and fast and pacey player.

Did well after a quiet start, need to get him involved more tho, you can see he's got quality

We desperately need another striker

 

[Drunk blade]

McAtee looks a class above everyone on that pitch

Anel looks the best player on the pitch by a mile for me

 

[Bobby b]

Sunderland certainly aren't mugs, and I think we're a team searching for a little bit of a rhythm and also heckingbottom is searching for the right team selections and tactics which Is understandable considering the multitude of options, but I think when things start to click I think we'll be a top side

 

[Flumps]

Brewster needs to settle down a bit. Just be patient and he’ll score.

He's quickly becoming the new Mousset for me - I want so much for him to find form but he just doesn't quite seem to be getting there.

Hope the lad springs in to action and gets his goal, getting off the mark could be the key.

Fair play to Anel, I don't know if it's depressing or not that I like how he made a simple header look so simple. He even nearly bagged a goal that was meant to be a cross.

Sunderland are rattled, if we could stop seeming like we have such low energy and just attack, we could bag a couple extra

 

[brownblade]

We were sloppy, not at our best, but still were in an even game against a confident team. We're playing a debutant youngster in a key position, so not exactly a settled system like theirs.

We were growing into being the better team. Now we'll hopefully come on strong. Goals for Brewster and McAtee...

 

[robbiez666]

Not the greatest half, fairly even with them having actual shots until the red card and goal. We need to use the ball much better with the extra man. Pass it through them, less of the high and hopeful.

Brewster's workrate is so much better than when he signed.

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Still not convinced even with ten men. We’re not at our best but then again we have 9 players out. C’mon blades wrap this up.

 

[FriethBlade]

What we.must.do second half.is.go after.the second to kill the game. We can not afford to sit back and defend deep or they will score.
