Cunners

Cheers Roy. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Leicester were truly woeful. Not sure they won a single 50-50 or second ball in the first half. Like watching us first 6 games!

Totally agree re Hamer. Balance of the team doesn't look right when he plays. Better workrate without a drop-off in creativity with COH.

Geez....not a lot of positivity around the Hawthorns!

Hi Ben. Listened to the pod reguarly over the years. It's been a great way to stay engaged with Blades down here in New Zealand. Always enjoyed your balanced & thoughtful analysis. Thanks to you & Roy for all your efforts. Good luck with WoS & future endeavours. Best wishes to you & the family.

Thanks Roy. Appreciate your efforts. It's interesting that in the main, everyone is thoroughly pessimistic ....just like most of us!!

Cheers Roy! Incredibly positive from those Royals.

Looking down your list of potential departures, which will hit us hardest? Logic says Gus, but my god, i love what Cooper brings both in terms of his talent but also his personality/ attitude.

Fair point, do just wonder if the x factor, attitude etc may help him make it? Great that we are having these discussions about the youngsters, until your pod i didn't appreciate that we have one of the youngest squads in league.

Great work lads! That Femi goal difference stat blew my mind. For what it's worth.... I think Sydie Frederick Peck is the one going all the way, bucket loads talent, football iq, work rate, desire, ability to learn/improve & only 20! You never know, he might even add the odd goal to his repertoire!

An absolute gem! .... As a cricket-mad kid i got to see so many of my international cricketing heros in the annual Dutchess of Norfolk XI game! Thanks for sharing and bringing back the memories.

Enjoyed that first half. Not many times this season we have looked so sharp and clinical going forward. Impressed with Gus's ability not to run around like a loon after going top bins from 30 yards!!

A real corker, played one of my first ever colts matches here! There are some stunning grounds across east and west sussex!

Cheers Roy. Particularly enjoyed Trusty being compared to a giraffe on LSD! Still cant believe we got $5-6m for him.... What a piece of business! Helped pay for Cooper and Burrows with change to spare!!

Agreed, real shame the official club channels aren't on here as well.

Cheers Roy..... Always happy when a "dark arts" reference is included!

One of the best threads I've read in quite a while. Simple, interesting, clear..... Thank you!

Thanks chaps, great pod. Particularly enjoyed the phrase "a rich man's Grant Hanley!!!".

Any correlation between you not posting on here and Palace's uptick in form?

He might be slow getting back....but he can jump high!

Bang on. No surprise sadly i guess!

Only question would be Femi at r/b? Tough away game so Gilchrist probably the right call and can bring the more attacking full back on if required.

More proof, there are no easy games anymore.

Feel bad dwelling on this question when we should be talking about Cooper, Davies a big 3 points and being top of the league! 😁 UTB

Been giving this some thought, as you make a really good point we often overlook. Still feel we gave the ball away cheaply/switched off too often in 1st half. A lot of our mistakes felt like unforced errors rather than opposition pressure. Often our mistakes that put Sunderland on front foot??

Not our best tonight, but once again having so much individual talent and proper characters in the squad has helped get us through. Cooper is different gravy. Pleased for Tom Davies. Fair play to Sunderland, they were better side for long periods.

Bang on!.... And a reminder to enjoy the Championship without all the VAR /Premier League BS!!

I'm highly embarrassed to say, but to this date I've always wonder what the shout was at the end. I must have heard it hundreds of times growing up in the 90s... and i still don't have a clue aged 46!!

1-1

Great call Karl. Been thinking for weeks it would be great to see Gus in the middle, playing slightly further advanced than Blaster. Might help unlock us in the final third, especially against teams in bottom half.

'Pork' of course!
