[Archived] Sunderland vs Rovers

Hopefully Salgado gets taken off before he gives away his customary peno!

[martmitch]

9 attempts to our 2, they truly couldn't hit a barn door at the moment

[MarkBRFC71]

Salgado elbow should have been a red.

Think a yellow was harsh to be honest. If that was a booking, then Bardsley's elbow in Salgado's ribs definitely was.

[Pugg]

What formation are we playing? Who's playing where? On iPhone at friends house who doesn't have sky sports Grrrr

[Gogger]

Walton is the only reason Bramble havent conceded three goals on his own.

[emerton]

We've looked reasonable today across midfield, Mauro holding the ball up well.

Apart from getting skinned once I think dann has been pretty good, samba rock solid.

45 mins left of holding on I fear....

Don't think there is one.... No shape, every time we attack Formica seems to be on his own and Yak playing too far up IMO.

[martmitch]

gonna be fireworks between yak and bramble I reckon by end of the game

[Pedro]

what happened to givet

Trouble with his heart, sounds as though it races from time to time.

[Tom]

Gutted we should be going in 2-0 up if it wasn't for some awful refereeing.

For once Keans excuses may be justified

[Josh]

Salgado elbow should have been a red.

Elbow? he flicked him with his fingers

Have you got SKYGO app? Our can watch Sky Sports anywhere with that!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Lucky that Sunderland can't finish, if they had Bent we would probably be 2 or 3 down.

Job done though so far, 3 points if we can hold on for another 45 mins.

[Tugay-is-God]

Really good performance so far, could be 2 or 3 up if it wasn't for some awful refereeing.

[Dreyski]

It's going to be a nervy second half if this continues. The ref is giving us very little, and we seem content to lump it and invite pressure more often than not. Yak has been anonymous since the goal, but Formica and Simon have been our best players this half. Big 45 minutes coming up for our defence.

[BiggusLaddus]

Strange half though. Getting hammered on chances created and lucky not to be 2 or 3 down. On the other hand we've been forced into an early sub and are only not 2 or 3 up from the actions of the ref.

No we're with virgin. Moving to jersey next month so will be getting sky then. Will definitely get it then, cheers.

And before anyone says it, yes I will look for the walkers or new owners lol.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Did anyone else know that Givet has a heart condition?

https://twitter.com/#!/SkyGraemeBailey

"Sky Sports' Andy Burton confirms Gael Givet was forced off due to ongoing heart issue which means sometimes his heart rate gets too high."

[Darwen Rover]

Be gutted if we don't win this one, think we actually have a decent game plan just don't have any decent CMers

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Happy enough so far. Got to say I think we'll need another goal to get anything, but Ive been impressed with Formica and Vukcevic. On the ball, Dunn has looked ok but without a holding midfielder I do worry.

One positive is that Sunderland's plan A seems to be feed Larsson and whip balls into our box. In Dann and Samba, we should always be favourites to win those. If Sunderland start playing on the deck then they'd cause more problems.

[Tom]

That disallowed goal gets worse every time I see it, simply awful refereeing

[philipl]

Bad reffing denied us a penalty and a goal.

We need another- cannot see us getting our first clean sheet.

[pick32]

Look a more resilient and experienced team with the wingers protecting the full backs. Formica looks good when he has the ball, could easily be a different scoreline with dann goal wrongly disallowed and the Yaks penalty claim.

[SAS]

Really good performance so far, could be 2 or 3 up if it wasn't for some awful refereeing.

We've only had two attempts to sunderlands 10.

Think we are very lucky to be going in with a clean sheet. Needs some good organisation from the back..

I'm not a fan of Peter Walton, he often has a bad game against us.
