You have to feel for em both. I have never seen 2 centre halves so good at this club together however, they consistently concede goals because of the rest of them. I dont know where to start here.....1. Moore: You are not Pep Guardiola. Stop playing players out of position. Wright is not a RB, James is not a CM, John is not a LB (or a CB for that matter) Why sign Richards if you have players out of their position playing in his? With the injury list as it is, you have to play him whether hes in form, just back from injury or not. What has Danny Amos done wrong? Id be requesting a transfer if I was him. IMO the board has backed him as much as they possibly can. Players hes brought in are just not good enough with the exception of Sims (who played his worst game for us today) and Smith who is the only midfielder who can be happy with his performance. The writing should definitely be on the wall for DM whether you like it or not. Team selection and performances based on the hype of his signings need to change regardless of the injury list. We keep signing kids who have no mens football experience therefore long term injuries are inevitable and performances when fit will always be hit and miss. Thats on him! I keep hearing about how good of a manager/coach he is and yes ive seen patterns of play that suggest he has worked well with the squad but 70% of the performances and results are just not good enough! Its lacked backbone since the Rob Jones era! Im sick of nice footballers!2. Whiteman: Give him his pay day. Not looked like hes wanted to be here at all this season.2. John: NOT A LEFT BACK FFS!!!!! Squad player only for when everyone else you can think of is injured or banned.3. Fej: Please leave the club.4. Lokilo: Praise the Lord hes only on a 1yr contract.I have watched the game long enough to know that when the team on the day have 5/6 players off it you just brush it under the carpet and take it on the chin. But this performance against a team who must be low on confidence due to underperforming have come away from the keepmoat without all 3pts and I almost feel sorry for em! We now have MK Dons, Crewe and an underperforming Sunderland team who have took points from us at home which is fine it happens in a season as a one off but, when youre meant to be one of the better sides in the division and youve created next to nowt in all those games you have to start asking questions. Plymouth was the same and Wimbledon should have been done before HT. It all falls back to the manager. Its a results based sport! That today was daylight robbery. We created nothing, and deserved nothing. No urgency even in injury time! How weve come away at 1-1 i honestly dont know but the result for me just papers over cracks.
Underperforming?Before today, Sunderland had only dropped 12 points all season before today. Over the first 11 games, they have picked up points at a rate equal to 88 over a season.Do you expect us to roll up and dominate every team, every week?
I%u2019m stunned by the OP
Massive overreaction but I do agree that Moore needs to be held accountable for playing players out of position. Ferguson used to get slated all the time for square pegs in round holes whereas Moore seemingly has a free pass. It’s occasionally worked but more often than not hasn’t, and the persistence in playing John at LB in particular when Amos has never put a foot wrong there is particularly baffling.
Surprised he doesn't go with this, which would be a much better use of players in formation he wants.LumleyHallidayAndersonWrightAmosWhitemanSmithTaylorSimsJamesFejiri

Disregarding that we were behind twice and equalized with a last minute deflection. The game was bizarre yes i agree we dominated the game but again you think phew weve not lost but we should have won. Thats not ok in football. You HAVE to win those games and when you dont you have to start answering questions. The rate were going at we will be nowhere near at the end of the season.

We have injuries to key players and only one centre forward ...what do you expect !![/quotQuote from: since-1969 on November 21, 2020, 06:04:37 pmWe have injuries to key players and only one centre forward ...what do you expect !!Name the key players? What many would call key players would surely only be Wright, Anderson and Whiteman? If you consider Tulloch and JJ key players I cabt have a conversation with you as the 2 have been injured for longer than the season has gone on as per my OP? Gomes yes you can name him but thats only 1. Cant name Richards as the manager took him out prior to injury. So id love to know who the key players in our squad are? The starting 11 each week has 100% been capable of winning every game. Every game will never happen i know but, weve lost a lot of games where we should have won never mind scrambled a point!
