Very close’: Sunderland boss sets out clear Chris Rigg selection stance after Norwich City defeat
Very close’: Sunderland boss sets out clear Chris Rigg selection stance after Norwich City defeat
Gav says…
Our first half defensive performance
I’m scraping around for positives here, but our first half performance from a defensive perspective was good. We restricted Norwich to very little in the way of chances and the likes of Mundle and Ekwah worked hard to get back and win the ball, stopping crosses and opportunities from happening. If only we’d capitalised on that…
Rigg’s impact
Once again our youngest player came on the pitch as a sub and looked like he belonged. Are we going to give him a start at some point or are we just going to keep picking the same lads ahead of him that are no better? Hmm.
Dodds isn’t him
I like Mike Dodds… but as a coach, and I’m sure he’s a lovely bloke too. But, he’s not good enough to lead this team and he’s just repeating more of the same mistakes that the last bloke was making. I’m worried things could get worse from here with results and that he’s not adequately prepared to lead Sunderland through choppy waters.
Styles on the wing… really?
We’ve got Adil Aouchiche, Abdoullah Ba and Chris Rigg sat on the bench, yet Callum Styles was the man we thought should play right wing?! I have nowt against the lad but… nah. What the hell was that all about? Bless him, but he did nowt. Disaster.
