I thought he'd done quite well, some tidy touches and hasn't done anything wrong. The wingback switch has worked really well first half, all credit when it's due. I think Carter looks more ready than Phillips at the moment (unsurprisingly, considering their ages). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WacoRover Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) One minute added. HT no gripes, I take back my earlier crabby sentiment about poor passing. Edited October 18, 2022 by WacoRover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophox Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 What a strike from Brereton Diaz... world class. 1-0 ht. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booth Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Brilliant goal from Diaz but the team needs to do better when attacking. We need to kill the game off in the second half. Hedges foot kicked the ball then caught their player, no penalty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_big_nose Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Good half. Very defensively solid. Final pass not great though, so I'd get Wharton on for Szmodics to help with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mk2 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'd take Garrett off, he's one young player too many in this team and he looks overawed by it. Brittain can play anywhere because he's a good footballer but left back isn't like right back and he gets his angles wrong. They've sent in some dangerous crosses from his side 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover_in_the_South Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Well compared to the last few sky showings that was enjoyable. A good first half of footy that. We sometimes move that ball around really nicely, Brittain class again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicalmortensleftpeg Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Brittain has been immense. Massive improvement on Nyambe who was hardly a weak link. Sami disc has done reasonably well, good movement and high energy. Can see what he brings over Dack although Dack is better with the ball at his feet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nailed on penalty. We would be going ballistic if that sort of decision went against us. I think Mawson looks like he messed up to. Beware. Great great shot by BBD but otherwise a mundane half but we are ahead so who cares, not me. Edited October 18, 2022 by AllRoverAsia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Just seen the bit of BBD's celebration - giving the Sunderland fans the 'shhh' and laughing at them. Good lad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_the_beast Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Can see why the ref didn't give them the penalty shout. The direction of the ball suggested Hedges got a touch on it. The angle from behind the goal shows he didn't though and we got lucky. What a strike by Diaz though. Absolute quality. It's been quite an even half. Feel like Wharton has seen way too much of the ball. All our midfield 3 seem to favour being central or slightly to the right and its leaving him with only one outball in Brittain. Garrett has been decent but I'd like to see Adam Wharton on at half time. He'd drop into that space more naturally and give more balance. Touching on our summer recruitment. The two defensive players in Brittain and Hyam are fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displaced Rover Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 There was contact from Hedges, Sunderland lad’s foot goes back, stops, then he throws himself on the floor. Zero sympathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
