Dangerous free kick- Larson and Gardner a danger!

[Irish villain]

Sort it out Lambert. FFS, progress?

[SamTheMouse]

We really do lack a tricky player, someone who can beat his man. We're not good enough to pass through teams so they can just hold their ground. We need someone to commit defenders.

have the horrible feeling one of these sunderland set pieces will pay dividends for them....

standard of football being played by both teams is pathetic

[Fergal]

This is so frustrating, just a bit of quality and composure would see us win this game easily.

This turgid rubbish will put 30 years on anyone's life.

This is really woeful - need some kind of  spark to get us going.

We do mate. The thing that worries me is that it doesn't appear to be anything of note on the bench. We've got graft and hard work, but not much quality. I'd certainly bring Lowton on for Bacuna, who's been poor in the last two games.

Alby possibly too. He'll at least be eager to impress.

last game on MOTD again

[Jimbo]

Don't worry, we've got Tonev and Kozak!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

This is so depressing and pointless.

gabby best player by miles

[supertom]

Gabby's the key. He's the only one who's gonna do something.

[Fergal]

We are making progress as a club but it's so slow
