Like clubs up here Sunderland have budgeted for fans to be back in the ground by October which hasn't happened. Our current owner has said that the club needs a bail out of some form from the government. Will Sunderland survive? hard to tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see them lose to Ipswich 2 or 3 years ago. Spent day at a Social Club in Seaburn. Great folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there i'm sure you'll mind his interest in Falkirk ended and he was rumored to be interested in Sunderland. From what i understand we both dodged a bullet on that one.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I wasn't remotely convinced by Mercer in the first two games or in the league cup matches. He was much better today though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he manages 7/10 every week I'd be delighted. I think he's capable at this level but I don't think we're ever going to see him have a stormer or tearing teams apart down the flank or anything like that. I don't feel there's a lot of improvement to come from him so, as you say, a steady performance every week would do fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the squad (presuming Dixon is moving into centre back and Kelly to left back) I’d say Mercer is now our weakest link. Was ok today but wasnt really tested and has played a couple of stinkers so far. If we did have budget for another player I’d be looking for a right back but that might just be being greedy.

Gordon EF Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 3 hours ago, Shadwell Dog said: Decent supports get the stand behind the goal whilst shit supports get stuck in the main stand . The main stand is more expensive than the one behind the goal. Simples. We were behind the goals twice last season. Not much to say about the game other than Falkirk were streets ahead of us and we were never in the game. Thought Falkirk looked a lot better than last season. The addition of Alston and Morrison to your midfield has you looking a lot more dynamic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestfieldBairn Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 If I were an East Fife fan I’d be worried. Last season’s games were very tight but today was the complete opposite. The only positive for them was the fact it was only 2-0, which is my main criticism for us today. We have the chances to make that any score we wanted today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Think in was the wind that stopped us running away with that one. Good tactics just to stabilise that game for most of the second half. Keep it simple and avoid any hassle the wind caused. Good performance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mercer wasn’t performing, then I’d be inclined to put Miller at right back and see how he does. I don’t know why, but I’d quite like to see Alston and Todd in the centre together 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I would worry about the lack of any protection for the back line in that scenario. I think it would depend on the setup, but I agree it could be a concern with two attacking minded midfielders in the middle together 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
