As soon as Pearce went off, we were going to be in trouble. Rookie mistake by DP for the equaliser but 2 other excellent saves in the game. Taylor looked good but ran out of steam. Aribo had a decent game. Karlan is still nothing special. Terrible corners from MM.
and on we go, with 4 on the bench next week I expect.
Before I start with Charlton, I’ve got to say the Sunderland fans were awful, in the sense of they made no noise until they scored, and when they did they were so loud, can you imagine what they could’ve been with good support behind them? Not surprised they have been on such a decline.
I thought the 3 at the back worked really well to be honest. We looked a threat in the first half and thought we were the better side. But then we started to tire and you could see Taylor, Grant, Pratley, Lapslie, Pearce, Marshall all tiring on 60 minutes but we had no one to bring on. It was late in the game that we fell apart and we just lost momentum, anything going forward and dropped deeper and deeper until it was a matter of time.
The lads done all they could and you could see they had nothing left in the tank. But we desperately need players because bare bones is the only way I can put it. It’s even worse if Pearce is injured, we have no one left.
Onto the next one, this is going to be a harsh season.
Can't really add anymore to what has already been said. Thought we played well for the first 40 mins. Second half our legs had gone, no movement from Taylor after 60 mins, needed to make some changes and either didn't or couldn't.
Thought Lapslie ran his socks off and played well, thought Aribo played well but needed to play it simple near the end and not try and take on the whole team, also he was a statue for their last goal, only Page and Solly reacted but were too late. Bit gutted but could see it coming. Shame Dil's couldn't keep either out, I don't think he should have let the first one in for sure, second he was unlucky and did well to get a hand to it.

What 3 at the back? We played a back 4?
I assure you we played 3 at the back, and to be honest I thought it was very clear to see throughout the game.

Not how I saw it. Lapslie may have been the 1 behind the front 2 but certainly looked like 4 at the back to me.

No way. It was a 4-3-1-2 with Lapslie playing behind the front two.
Just gutted. The corner was fluffed and the winner fell into their laps. 1-1 would have be a fair result, but we did run out of puff in the last 20.
I walked from the stadium of light to the station with Lyle Taylor and now sitting on the train with the team, which feels rather surreal. They’re clearly gutted too.
Can’t believe the Sunderland fans didn’t make a wall of noise after falling a goal down after 10 minutes against the slick footballing machine of Charlton Athletic. Why the 30k of them aren’t right up for it after back to back relegations from the Prem and having a 12.30 kick off on the telly in this delight of a league is not enough of a reason to be screaming your mad passion for the lads means they are a disgrace . The Roker Roar is turning in its grave .
was there .. the team collectively ran out of puff after about 75 minutes .. 1st half Sunderland were all over the place, we looked good if not especially dangerous up front .. second 1/2, especially after the equaliser, they gradually got the upper hand and were all over us at the finish .. Phillips was terribly positioned for the first goal .. I'll say it again .. we need an experienced keeper .. Lapslie did ok, did Pratley's running for him and is a good prospect .. Grant was good until he, like most of the others ran out of steam '.. Taylor is gonna be good .. Solly took a bad bang to the bonce and was never quite the same after ..
Not the best of starts to the season, however there are a lot of positives to be taken from this, we'll play worse and win ..get the team fit, get some choice on the bench .. good to see a large Addicks support in the ground

Guys, it was 3. Bowyer said it himself live on Sky!
Whilst Bowyer is doing his best under tough circumstances, he should have made a sub or two after 80 minutes. Whilst the squad is weak he could easily have brought on Maloney and Ajose.
We need 5 players though and we’re not going to get them. We will stay up but we won’t be anywhere near the play offs

Rookie mistake by DP for the equaliser but 2 other excellent saves in the game.
Taylor looked good but ran out of steam.
Aribo had a decent game.
Karlan is still nothing special.
Terrible corners from MM.

Of course we could have signed him this time last season had the Belgian cunt not changed his mind at the last minute
Imagine how bad things would be if we still had Jimmy Tarbuck in charge.

Despite the defeat I'm slightly more optimistic than I was before the game.
