JimmyRobbo

Seems a decent bloke. Loved the greetings from his mates who hadn't bought the full package.

A nice little watch. Cheers.

JimmyRobbo

Looked much better.

Can't think of anything to criticise, really.

JimmyRobbo

Did they cause the light issues!

I wasn't that impressed with his signing for the money they spent but he still looks a quiality player. Opens play and times his movement wonderfully. A cut above Cullen, to be fair.

I don't often like quoting myself but, take a bow, Mr Cullen. Think he was the winner today. Brilliant.

JimmyRobbo

Oh Jaydon! It was there for the taking.

JimmyRobbo

Xhaka giving a masterclass as the set up man in midfield. Don’t think he’s broke sweat yet but all his passes have intent to get them on the front foot. Sadly Cullen has chosen today to have one of his off days. I wasn't that impressed with his signing for the money they spent but he still looks a ...

JimmyRobbo

Xhaka missing his usual quailty with that tame effort.

We do appear to drop very deep into our area gifting shooting opportunities on the edge of the area.

JBL certainly doesn't look up for it

Yep. A passenger so far. We can't affort that.

Can he show some quality in the 1st 10 of the 2nd half? if not, I'd hook him off.

JimmyRobbo

JBL finally spotted.

Hardly touched the ball in this first 30mins.

JimmyRobbo

Sunderland qyite happy lto let us hae possession until we get to their half, they then sink back further. Clearly looking to play on the break. I wonder if they fance their chances in a race with our back line?

JimmyRobbo

Hannibal did nothing wrong standing his ground. Why was he warned?

JimmyRobbo

Wow!

No way VAR overturn that if it is one of the big clubs. Who is on VAR?

JimmyRobbo

Nice finish but I suspect VAR will overturn it.

JimmyRobbo

Nice ball after we appeared to recover from the Walker mistake.

We seem to have started well, played some nice stuff and got into their box but, in truth, we could easily be 2 down.

Early days, but Sunderland appear to be sitting quite deep. We'll perhaps need Edwards second half if we can't break through

Yes, they appear to have pace with their 2 wide men so we'll have to watch out for it. A decent start except for the easy chance we offered up.

JimmyRobbo

So who decided not to pick up their biggest man who is the most dangerous from set pieces? Seems a strange strategy.

Sign him just what we need big and strong,we seem to have had a powder puff midfield for donkeys years,we need midfield monsters not the likes of Cullen and Brownhill

Big and strong? That's Laurent. I want better, significantly better. Easier said than done.

JimmyRobbo

Diouf allegedly goes for 20m. Billing isn't anywhere near that level. He wouldn't recoup anywhere near the fee. If Parker signed him, I'd back him. Being honest, I'd much rather a Diouf type for 20m. Easy spending other people's money but I think it is better for our club if similar could be found a...

JimmyRobbo

Interestingly now being described as unfixable.

https://x.com/DTathletic/status/1958937784783184272

Not sure what to make of it but NF weren't the same before Nuno took over. Interesting viewing from out of nowhere.

JimmyRobbo

He couldn't move then, he'll be even slower now.

No thank you. 8.5m is a lot of money.

I'm happy putting that towards a better player.

JimmyRobbo

Really grown on me.

Wonderful attitude. 100% effort. Sublime touch - which was on display again v Spurs.

JimmyRobbo

This is brilliant. Thank you.

A couople of those games bring back memories of childhood. We were so rarely on TV.

JimmyRobbo

He was OK.

I wasn't as excited by his signing as others were but he's fine and it wasn't because of him that we lost.

JimmyRobbo

LU with a decent effort.

We really have been unlucky.

JimmyRobbo

Ekdal caught out for pace.

Esteve gone down but not a foul for me.

Sunderland winning.

Sh!t! Double wammy.

JimmyRobbo

Bottom of the league!

No justice in this world.

JimmyRobbo

So changes:

JBL for Sonne?
LU for JL?.

Oh dear! Very unfair but a nice finish.

JimmyRobbo

Anthony's touch was sublime.

Unlucky, for us.

2 very good chances.

JimmyRobbo

Dubravka got a touch for the save.

JimmyRobbo

Ekdal did well there.

He's a nice player.

JimmyRobbo

A bit of a panic all coming from a slightly lazy pass out from Josh L.

JimmyRobbo

Despite beaing behind, I'm really pleased with our performance.

A soft goal to concede and I can't see us scoring but we are giving it a proper go and we are playing very well.

Nice link-up play. Foster as good as we see him. Not a lot to criticise.

Don’t say things like “nice finish”

That implies a goal was scored and I was sat here waiting for it

Haha! Yes, sorry for the false hope. It was a nice finish for us, though, tbf!

JimmyRobbo

What TF is Porro doing?

JimmyRobbo

Porro falls into Ekdal then gets the FK.

We will be seeing this all season as the big clubs get the rub of the green.

JimmyRobbo

Needless punch over from Vcario from Laurent's looped shot.

Again, we are linking up very well.

JimmyRobbo

Nice finish by Spence.

Good game to watch. Much better than early last season.

JimmyRobbo

Walker's legs are still good. All the way back to guide it out from left wing throw.

JimmyRobbo

Hannibal FK - a bit of a waste.

Haartman delivery from the RHS corner was good. Perhaps we need someone who can deliver set pieces with their right. Sonne?

Is it 8 seconds in the goalkeepers hand or 8 seconds for him to play it? If it’s the former shouldn’t someone be right on the keeper so he can’t just drop it to the floor?

It must be 8 in his hands. You can't enforce other rules about how keepers (sweepers) can play.

JimmyRobbo

Esteve needs to get those for him to make the next step.

Thought it was a very difficult chajnce coming from behind him.

More good stuff, though.

JimmyRobbo

Oliver favours Porro there as Fodter runs through.

Some positive stuff. I don't mind losing, nor going down if we are going at it like we have started in these 1st 25.

I honestly don’t think we have been that bad? Reading this messageboard it’s like we have been crap

Agreed. WE've been much better than I thought we would be. Unfortunately, mistakes get punished more than in the champ.

JimmyRobbo

TBF, we've been in their area more than I thought we would.

JimmyRobbo

Oh dear.

Ekdal a little soft with his marking. Ah well, fine while it lasted. I can't see many goals in us, though.

JimmyRobbo

8 seconod rule....let's see how it is applied to the big clubs.

JimmyRobbo

Solid signing for a season, I suppose. We definitely needed a legitimate #1.

I don't know why but I just don't share everyone else's delight. For some reason, I didn't fancy him at all. I saw him as a bit lightweight, at times, in the limited amount I saw him last 5 or 6 years.

Glad to be wrong.

JimmyRobbo

Surely, somebody far more talented than me will have linked it to Alvin Stardust? Perhaps even in a Steve way for Esteve.

Assume we're just awaiting the PR faculty if DO has announced it.

JimmyRobbo

A ruddy great big strong bugger in CM just what the doctor ordered How long have we been wanting one. We had Berge for a year. Again, AP and Co seem to understand where we went wrong last home round. They've gone for characters and strength whereas under VK we were bullied, quite easily. We might s...
