Sunderland 1 vs Rotherham 1….. Take a point 100%

Last nights team selection has come under scrutiny, I’ve not, (as yet), managed a Football League Club on a full time basis, but I was a little surprised at how we lined up…..

  • Did we need 30 minutes from Pritchard on Saturday, if it has led to him only being fit to be on the bench today?
  • Embleton was superb on Saturday, Shirley he has to start?
  • Gooch had his best game for 2 years on the right, he’s been switched to the left?
  • We are at home, we should be playing either Roberts or Clarke?

Conversely, Rotherham are mega physical and Alex Neil has obviously set up with this in mind? Playing against a teams strengths rather than to your own is conservative and rarely popular, the concern for me pre match was, what if they score first? Whilst the aim should always be to win, this really was a must not lose!

Taking The Knee….

Anyone who reads this with any regularity, (*), will know I’m of a very strong opinion that any prejudice or discrimination is abhorent and lacks class, regardless of whether it is based on race, religion, beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, nationality etc

“Just have a shot lads…..”
“Not having that….. not even 1%”

The Game….

  • Ref crap
  • Rotherham better than us
  • Subs changed the game
  • Given we didn’t have a shot on target, 1-1 is a good result?
  • An absolute thunderbastard of an own goal from them
“You don’t save those…..”

Big Week Ahead….

  • Morecambe preview tomorrow
  • SAFCBlog Graph SPZL on Sunday
  • Nominations for SAFCBlog Awards, (in association with www.fritidsklader.co.uk), on Monday
  • What a fucking time to be alive?

We go again Saturday…… FTM…..
