Sunderland 1 southend 0 : SAFC Blog - following Sunderland AFC

It’s a long season and I’m loathe to ever use the term must win… but we could really do with winning today. Shouldn’t be a problem? Southend not great and we’ve played decent the last 3 games.

Steady drive up with Idiot A talking shite. Weather crap in Yorkshire, so pleasantly surprised to be met with a glorious day in Wonderland.

Sunderland 1 Southend United 0 — The scene is set….. smash these today?

Sunderland 1 Southend United 0 Remembrance Day — Game on…….

Play decent 1st half, good goal from Luke. We should be out of sight; go in 1-0 up ✅
Not as good 2nd half, but look comfortable ✅
3 points, clean sheet ✅ ✅
We look better under Phil. ✅
Personnel looks easily good enough. CB pairing great / JM no longer hoofing it / Luke, Denver, Dobson all class today ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
We look like a team who need a striker? X
I’d like it to be Grigg – but he looks lost? X
Onwards and upwards, things are looking up ✅
Impossible to know….. but we’d have drawn that game 1-1 a month ago? ✅
100% behind Parkinson…. it might seem trivial; but…. Suit = OK / tracksuit OK…. MIXING THE 2 = not OK?

IN PHIL WE TRUST – THE FUTURES BRIGHT, THE FUTURES PARKY

Briefer than normal match report, a very good reason for this. Our wonderful club do some things so well, the minutes silence for lost ones at the final game of the year is beautiful. 100% respect, the club always get Remembrance perfectly right. This blog is a bit of fun about a wonderful game – but thanks SAFC, you get this right every year.
