Cam the Ram Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Keogh was absolutely incredible. Russell was very good but started to become sloppy during the 2nd half. Huddlestone looked decent and we saw the odd glorious pass or 2. Carson was fantastic. Vydra changed the game in our favour. For the short period he was on, Bryson made more of an attacking contribution than Butterfield did all game, although he was put into a deeper role when Vydra came on to be fair to him. The rest were average/poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady1993 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Tactically very poor from Rowett, he seems to have forgot that to score you have to actually have the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Mustn't knock a point away against a recent prem team, but frustrating that you felt this was a chance for a win that we passed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 From that game I would go with a 4-2-3-1. We looked good playing that way end of last season, carved out two fantastic opportunities to win the game in the last 15 playing that way too. For Wolves, hoping something along the lines of... Back 5 the same. Johnson Huddlestone Russell Vydra NEW Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about that. I'm looking at our performance and we were so one dimensional. If Huddlestone is to be our quarter back and the spark of all attacks, he needs to find some comfort with the ball at his feet. Giving it Huddlestone and him pinging it was our only game plan today. I think the only reason he wasn't subbed off is because we'd have been totally lost without our only attacking outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Attitude was good. Quality and composure were lacking, from front to back. Vydra was a shining light, for sure. Carson save was epic, Butterfield penalty was unfortunate but caused by very poor defending and then his clumsiness. Not 'happy' with a point but I'm not upset. Long season. Clearly in need of some creativity in attack. All in all, still confident in the Rowett era but performances of that level need to be an exception or I doubt he'll get the time we all know he needs.

Papahet Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Butterfield has been pretty poor since the whole foot thing hit the media coincidentally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Vydra was brilliant when he came on, must start the next game imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, anyone moaning about the long term is out of order. But that performance was crap. It really was. Why would anyone dress it up any differently? For what purpose? Nothing wrong with calling it like it is. Sunderland were the better side, created better chances, forced good saves, hit the woodwork, isolated the CB's, ran the midfield and made better use of set pieces. You could say Wisdom, Weimann, Johnson, Butters, Forsyth, Davies all played well if we want. But does it make it true? We didn't play well at all. You must know that?

We actually started making an effort to move the ball through the midfield as opposed to aimlessly lumping it and surprise surprise he made a couple nice passes. There is no point playing him though if plan a is to hoof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wholehearted, aggressive, committed, pretty consistent and a good championship player. Not a world class player, but our best wide man in a team that's been constantly challenging for 4 years.

Nuwtfly Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Moment of the game for me was when JR picked up the ball wide right, sprinted past one player, nearly cut inside past another, Derby on the break, fans off their seats, and he manages to pick out the only Sunderland player near him with a pass, rather than any of the on-rushing Derby players. Classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Odd that after a worse performance at the start of last season there weren't this many wrist slashers. Curious. Still I hope you all manage to somehow enjoy your weekends despite holding a gun to your own head after one football match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
