[Archived] Sunderland v Rovers

[Exiled_Rover]

Ah well, that's what you spend £15m for. Disappointed in Hanley though - schoolboy defending.

[Valois]

2-0, oh dear, certainly dont deserve to be 2-0 down here. Good cross and good header bent though. Oh well, I think we can write this one off

[J*B]

18:30 gone, game over. 2-0.

[booth]

Damn, they've got what we haven't today. People who can put the ball in the back of the net

Sunderland have looked poor so far too. But two strikes two goals. Compare that to them against Blackpool where they had about 30 shots and couldn't score. We're just not getting the rub today.

Over already... to be expected with our decimated squad though. Hope Venky's & Kean are serious about getting their business done early in the window, we desperately need reinforcements.

The priority now has to be to damage limitation. The last thing we need is to get completely destroyed and have our GD ravaged.

[Eddie]

Could do with a MGP special here.

[Mr. E]

I just do not get it.

I watch West Ham, we fail.

I watch Stoke, we fail.

I miss West Brom, we pull of a shocking win.

I watch Sunderland, we fail.

What is this.

[adopted scouser]

We've looked the better team so far.

Oh yeah ?

[Exiled_Rover]

Great free kick from Pedersen.

Though the commentator saying Pedersen's goal tally has dropped because he's been moved to central midfield is way wide of the mark.

Via a stream I'm guessing.

Looks to be a semi-decent following today, 1,500 maybe?

Disagree. It's a very good cross and Bent has made a good run and produced a very good header. There isn't a huge amount that he could have done.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Going forward we haven't looked too bad, crisp passing and some nice link up play. Central midfield the problem area as usual, Sunderland having far too much time to pass and move in our half. If we had a proper defensive midfielder in there we would be so much better.

[novella]

Back to being an absolute disgrace

[Gogger]

Another gifted goal. Our midtfield is so passive its scary. Get some youngster on the field who actually can run more than ten feet before needing a breather.

[Exiled_Rover]

He should have got in front of his man. We were taught to do that at school.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Wonder if people might realise now that Pedersen just isn't a central midfielder?

Why would a right-back need to be in front of the striker?

[EWOODACE1]

the space they had to cross for the second goal was terrible

[Tom]

Well thats that then, can I blame it on Pieboy playing?

[Amo]

Leave him alone. He says nice things on his website.

[Plastic Head]

I've said it before...

Relegation

Thank You
