Let's not be harsh, end of another 3 game week, we looked knackered 2nd half, and Coventry were excellent. Sadly it seems reg doesn't trust the subs enough to throw them into that intense a match. Great game
I think the change in shape massively impacted the game, but I can see why he did it, was the only real way to bring on quality. Aleksic having his debut in a high pressure situation wasn't ideal so can see why Ballard came on. Need strengthening in Jan.
Yes yr correct, I’m not a fan either of him, he seems to be running all over like a chicken with its head off. Isador is very special he just wanders about and lets the midfield give him the ball then uses his speed but also he will help out in defence. If Connolly does start scoring he will be off after his years contract is up. Shame.
Sit too deep on a lead, and you're asking for trouble-this has long been a maxim in football. Just like Southgate's England, the opposition pushes up ten to fifteen yards, and the ball retention goes to pieces, and we sit back. We're far too keen to adopt, so we'll hold what we have policy. I was critical of this after Derby this game tells you why.
It was a great first half and two fantastic goals , two defensive mistakes led to the goals ,but the ref didnt help at all as there wer fouls committed in the lead ups which werent given by officials . Now we are left with players being suspended and their replacements are fringe/squad players . 🤔
I recon that I’d pick this team (though I’m just your average idiot): Patterson O’Nien - Mepham - Ballard - Cirkin Neil - Rigg - Aleksic? Watson - Mayenda - Isidor
Two fantastic goals from Isidor and Cirkin,first half.Second half,just were not there,as you say Coventry up their game and punished us.A few unwelcone sideline issues with injuries and future suspensions.Really should keep Isidor as the central striker,not on the left!Positives,got a point at least,still top 2!Hope the international break will freshen up those who are not involved.A chance to work on a few things on the training pitch.
Game management is shocking and wy carnt we high press like what we did in the first 4 games of the season regis la bre says they want the players to change in game and to see game management it's not working and subs are shocking as well way to late then the games not going way
Let’s enjoy our lofty position and the two special moments we created. We are over achieving for a top eight side.

Big missed opportunity to extend our lead at the top that second half was very poor sat back too much
Why do Sunderland bring every player back to defend corners ? it gives them no outlet and gives opponents the opportunity to push up
Aye less chance to counter as well just asking for trouble
I don't think Connolly fits our style of play.

We still had enough chances to score in the second half. The final pass was poor
Not a fan of Connolly playing up front when we are going into a lower block and stretch their players further back

Isidor is a special player
Worrying that hume and roberts out as well as jobe for millwall game gonna be a tough game after international week
I recon that I’d pick this team (though I’m just your average idiot):
Patterson
O’Nien - Mepham - Ballard - Cirkin
Neil - Rigg - Aleksic?
Watson - Mayenda - Isidor
@nameanteater4772 possibly although that aleksic hasn't had any game time
Again, we can't handle the high press, RLB needs to sort this out ASAP. its starting to become a worry.
RLB knows what he's doing trust in his judgement 🤔
Why bring on Ballard and sit back could see it coming, what does that say to 2 midfielders on the bench

Very worrying Phil. I hope it’s not dropping to bits but I think it might be. Very downcas.
Mayenda should have been on instead of Connolly
Pity sameh is injured
Shame about the defence
Nowt changes never will
