(amazing how Sunderland fell down the leagues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Wednesday need a spell of possession, they've barely strung more than a few passes together so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Gotta say that Sunderland fans really do back their team. Incredible they get 49k in league one Edited May 6, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Wednesday really poor that half, I think the most consecutive passes they put together was when the ball was in the air and they were playing 'head tennis' in the middle of park, losing all the 50-50s, and just generally giving the ball away too easily, their defending for Sunderland's goal expressed the essential features of their poor first half really quite succinctly. Sunderland weren't that much better, and took a mistake for them to score, before that they weren't really threatening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Wednesday have been awful tonight. They need to be 10x better than this monday night Sunderland for me are winning play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Wednesday can probably take a positive from the fact that despite how poor they were, they're still only one nil down, with 90 minutes still left to play at their own ground, and surely they can't be as bad in the second leg. Sunderland could yet rue that they didn't finish the game off today, or at least put themselves in a much more advantageous position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't, they haven't broken 40k this season, and their average is about 30k. Still good for League 1, but even in the PL they rarely sold out. They've broken the 40k barrier once since 2017. They might sell out for a big day out in Wembley, but week in, week out, they never do, not even in the top flight.

Only listened on radio but hardly heard Bannan's name, thought he was injured but he was out there. I think they'll turn it around for second leg. Sunderland missed plenty of chances so think they may regret that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looking unlikely now, Sheffield United beating Fulham 3-0 and Middlesbrough losing to Preston 2-0. Edited May 7, 2022 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Going to be really tough, but hope MK Dons can turn it around against Wycombe this evening, would be good to see him get a game at Wembley as a reward for the good season he's had. Even if they don't make it, it's been a very good year for him. Edited May 8, 2022 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Wycombe through to the final, MK Dons probably should have won, they were the better team over the two legs, but at the same time probably only have themselves to blame that they've been knocked out. He didn't do badly but I thought it was awkward game for Kesler-Hayden he didn't seem to be playing in his normal postion. From what I've seen so far would expect both Sunderland and Wednesday to beat Wycombe in the final, both took four points from The Chairboys this season.

From what I've seen so far would expect both Sunderland and Wednesday to beat Wycombe in the final, both took four points from The Chairboys this season. FWIW, MK Dons took 6 points from Wycombe. They've beaten them three times this season, but the sole loss has knocked them out of the playoffs. Wycombe also in the second best form in the league over the last 10 games. Sunderland are 1st, Sheff Wed are 3rd. That final will be tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I wanted MK Dons to win but only because we have a player on loan with them, otherwise would have preferred Wycombe, even if I don't like some of their 'gamesmanship' antics. If they can win the whole thing there's a part of me that would feel quite pleased for them, as I remember when they were promoted the last time they got some criticism, as it was being argued that they didn't deserve their place in the play-offs because when the season was cancelled they were actually in eighth place, but finished top six on points per game basis, so if they do it this time around at least they can say the did it fair and square.

fightoffyour Posted May 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2022 Wycombe should’ve also stayed up last season with Derby getting the points deduction then. Hope they come back up, funnier the longer Sunderland stay down as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
