Nice tidy first half, and we are playing with an intensity not seen for a while, come on lads second half should be there for the taking..get in you men in black
Shame we lost Lavelle to injury, not just because we've lost the player but feels like we've struggled to keep the ball since he went off - That delay handed Sunderland the momentum a little bit.
Really good half. Did not expect us to be that competitive. Look a different team. It's still early but seems we were just plain using a system that didn't work.
Having Gilbey and Lee in midfield creates more fluidity. Been pleasantly surprised by Dobson so far. Against a top side this has to be the best half this season.
Jackson’s shown more tactical nous with one training session than Adkins has since August.
What a mad formation, Sunderland don’t know what to do with it defensively. Such a shame about Lavelle, Pearce coming on is bit of a concern but saying that, he’ll probably score.
If Jayden Stockley tries another volley, on his weak foot, from 30 yards then I’m going to scream. If it wasn’t for his aerial ability he’d be stocking shelves.
Decent. Not exceptional but we look competent. My worry is Sunderland really came back into it after Lavelle went off. Will we rue not being able to make more of the half chances we created and will momentum continue to swing towards Sunderland. Longer it’s 0-0 the deeper and edgier we will get.

Been a much better performance

And on a matchday too!
Keep it up!
