* The Unofficial "Official" "Wear-Tees Derby: Sunlun v Boro Match-Day Thread *

[sherlock]

Half time.

Second half, Howson off, Crooks back, Archer or Watmore on.

 

[Caesium137]

Good save, awful from Fry that.

 

[Chappy112]

God stop moaning will you.
Weve got this. As said they are playing their best game. No trouble here.

It's not moaning, it's commenting on a game we are watching.

I've only got commentary so I have to rely on the level of excitement in Drury's voice to tell me how dangerous a situation is, but there's been several occasions where it's sounded like Sunderland are just about to score. Seems a miracle they haven't.

 

[Greaseman]

Good save Steffen

I'd say they've had 1 sitter and 3 very good chances.

 

[Norfolkred1]

We'll come out fight second half................Hopefully

They should have done. Twice, if not three times.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Phew. We look scruffy in our play, particularly in the middle of the park. Gifted them a couple of excellent chances at the back too.

 

[Jedi boro]

Worst we’ve played under carrick so I think we’ll change it

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

If we were playing a side that had been as bad as we have been in that 1st half and missed all those good chances we would be saying we are bound to get sucker punched here.

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

All to play for in the second half somehow. We can only get better here. I'm revising my 3-1 to a cheeky 1 nil smash and grab raid by Boro

 

[Jedi boro]

Can't really argue that Sunderland have been better. Thankfully they've missed three golden chances.

Best shot was Forrs

 

[Blindschool]

Is Maddo watching the same game as me?

 

[r00fie1]

Steffen is Jeckyl and Hyde

 

[Caesium137]

Half time.

Second half, Howson off, Crooks back, Archer or Watmore on.

Don't think he'd be that bold. But Forss and McGree are barely in the game and our midfield is nowhere near controlling the centre of the park.

We need a personnel change or tactical tweak to get in to the game. We've gifted them three or four golden opportunities that they haven't taken. They won't miss them all.

Nice early goal to settle our nerves would be great.

 

[Laughing]

I'd say they've had 1 sitter and 3 very good chances.

I think I missed the sitter. I would argue they have had 1 very good chance only though.

They have been wasteful and pretty poor in front of goal. We will get better.

 

[Chappy112]

Worst we’ve played under carrick so I think we’ll change it

Yeah in other games McGree and Forss has worked because we've been such a threat but we don't look much of a threat at all. Every time they go forward it looks like a 4v3.

The commentary has been better since ONien was sent to the hospitality area. Until then, they weren’t taking any notice of the play on the pitch.

 

[Jr. SkinnyLegs]

not winning second ball especially with having to go long from Steffen, not enough intensity and pace. Happy we are 0-0 at half time.

Mowbray has history with stopping what we do well. Did with Blackburn last year against us.
