In terms of organisation, effort, fitness, will to win, physicality, having a cohesive way of playing even if it isn’t pure football - they’re miles ahead. We couldn’t have lived with them last night, just like Sunderland couldn’t. If you can’t see that you’re fooling yourself.

10/10. Every player, however limited in ability they were, - gave 110% to win that tie. One day, if I live long enough, I’ll be able to say that about a Rovers team.

I’d forgotten he was playing in the second half, same goes for Diallo.

“ as an option “. One of many I presume.

Journalists putting 2 and 2 together ( Kompany and Lukaku being ex team mates ) and getting 22. I hope he signs, the big lazy beggar.

We can aspire all we like but you and I both know that with our current owners we are a million miles off the Brighton model.

Is that one of them ? What about the others ?

That’s what we should have done once he got us promoted. Obviously the Sunderland senior management aren’t as green as our lot were.

That’s a conservative estimate, I’d say we’ve lost many more. Matty will be along any minute to tell us how many.

They might be fitter but they aren’t better technique wise, look at all the one footed players you see, poor headers of the ball, weak tacklers etc.

I’ve got a mate who’s a Sunderland fan. We were visiting him when they played West Brom away so I watched the game. I was impressed with how they played. They were passing it out from the back really well. Way better than we do. Having said that the WBA goal came from a defender dwelling on the ball and losing out.

Great free kick from Hignett. If modern day players are so much better how is it we’ve nobody playing for us at the moment capable of scoring free kicks like that ?
