v Sunderland (h) - 26/12/2024

That was the best play you will ever see Pears make.

[davulsukur]

Take a fucking bow Ansley Pears

[yankfan]

Pears for the point!  

[Tom]

For once it was in doubt, didn’t think we’d take anything with 10 mins left, perfect sub appearance from Leonard then brilliant from Pears 

[Forever Blue]

Great game. Fully deserved a point. Sunderland are a good team. 
 

Well done Harry Leonard. 

[RoverCanada]

I hereby vow that I will stand up in defence of Pears the next time he has a howler/bad game.

[K-Hod]

Fair result overall I’d say, nice of us to get a late goal that means something for a change!

[had.e.nuff]

what a good comeback we have Pears to thank for the point really top goalkeeping there.

[BankEnd Rover]

Feels more than a point, a loss there would have put huge pressure on us in the next few games. Get 3 points on Sunday and that's a good return.

[tonyoz]

Dolan MoM? Pathetic!

[Cherry Blue]

Sunderland should have won with second half performance. Great save Pears.

[doctorryan]

We'll take the point all things considered.

The correct choice imo.

[OsloRover]

Fair result, good job totally nullifying Sunderland first half then coming back from being dead and buried second half

[yankfan]

I do think Leonard should get an opportunity over this congested period. 
 

pears you fucking beauty! 

[booth]

We dropped 2 points there. Take our chances and it’s 3-0 up at half time.

Sunderland fans will probably feel the same about the second half.

Which player used Gueye as a stepladder for the assist? I think we’ve found a use for Big Mak.

I think they're a very lucky team - they have pace, but all of their defending was last second lunges. 

Delighted they didn't steal the 3 points today.

Pears saved us there great stop but how the hell is that so easy 

Unbelievably really. Both the save and the ease of the counter 

[DE.]

Happy to take a point from that.

Do you get MotM for missing an absolute sitter?

[superniko]

Point a fair result. 
I expected 4 from Millwall, Sunderland, Hull, Leeds - so hopefully we pick up 3 at home on Sunday. 

Leonard probably deserves more time over this busy period. I think he could make a decent step up this season in this team.

Great piece of keeping from Pears at the end.

There will be lots of ups and downs this season- we need to keep winning the games we expect to, and picking up points elsewhere when we can - Sunderland will be in the top 4 when all is over in May.

They aren’t great defensively, but they have some really good attackers. 

[neophox]

Dolan hit and miss as always.. He needs to start deliver against Hull.

[neophox]

Middlesbrough almost losing leading 3-0...3-3

[Tugay-is-God]

Their lad bottled the one on one just like ACD did for us the other day.
