Goal came from a throw in and we stood watching ballboys instead of man that ran through if you want to blame anyone.
Not able to watch match. We all know Williams is not ready for our team. So why does Stendel keep picking him. We are asking for trouble and have been fortunate a few times not to have conceded in last couple of matches
This is not the time to keep blooding youngsters for the future in crucial matches. Advantage squarely to Sunderland now. We’ve thrown it away.
SCAPEGOAT ALERT SCAPEGOAT ALERT!! would all fans who feel they’ve got to blame someone please meet at the Ben Williams thread. Your keyboard is waiting.
Not defending what happened there today from anyone. but to blame him solely for the 2 goals is ludicrous. We were stood watching when the free kick that led to the first goal was taken and simply stopped when the ball went out for the second. Leading to the winger having that left hand side for himself and he’d run from the half way line. Everyone needs to be more aware of what’s going on around em. Second half especially, Williams had no protection from the midfield. Many a time he had 2 players to contend with. Just an opinion but for Christ sake get behind em. will do sod all to confidence. Reading this site.
And yet everyone ignores the lack of contribution from Thiam. This excuse must have something in Stendel. Lazy.
There is some twists and turns to happen in run in. From our point of view we are struggling to reach our levels and our shooting is atrocious We need to step it up for run in. I expect Portsmouth and Sunderland to have some setbacks All to play for To be fair to Ben Williams I do think he should be replaced on run in with someone else We need Pinnilos back
You can say what you like but had Pinillos played today, or even Zeki Fryers, we wouldn’t have conceded those goals in my view. He’s a young lad and does his best, I’m not saying cast him aside forever, but he can’t be playing left back in a promotion run in when he is so defensively suspect. One great goal line clearance last week doesn’t make him a good (or even adequate) defender.
This lad should’ve been subbed at half time. He was a total liability at Doncaster too I’m not one for getting on players backs especially when we’re doing so well and he’s an academy graduate but he’s not ready for the first team yet. What’s wrong with fryers? Williams was at fault for both goals today, he totally was in no mans land for the first and did a panic clearance for the 2nd which fell kindly to their goal scorer I just feel that he’s lacking the game awareness that fryers will offer
I felt he was most at fault for both goals today but neither Pinillos or Fryers were in the squad today which would suggest that neither are fit so no criticism of Stendel is deserved & I don’t think Williams deserves any either, young kid who’s going to have good & bad games
