WBA v Sunderland AFC - 17th Oct 2015 - Match Thread

Not bad at all.
At half time it is West Bromwich Albion 0-0 Sunderland.
Sam Allardyce will be pleased and will see that he has something to work with now.

Bad in the end though.
Final score ... West Brom 1-0 Sunderland.

[Jenky]

On reflection this was just the same old Sunderland. So what's changed?

Anyone noticed how the supporters go in a mood when their football team loses.
Haway man its only a game of football.
No, I know what it means really but come on, we are Sunderland and we have survived worse.
West From is becoming a bogey team.
WBA will be relegated like the other crap teams in the Premier League right now.

[Sandy Mackem]

To be honest, Sunderland played well in the first half.
It wasn't the defensive game that some suggested it might have been.
As Sam Allardyce said its time to stop the individual errors that some are doing.
Time to stand Pants down .... OK maybe after the Newcastle game.

[Nockya]

I see the doom and gloom merchants are out in the pubs again.

[SoL]

Teething problems, that's all, its early days for Sam Allardyce.
Next week could just be the biggest game Big Sam has been involved in.

[Jools]

Chin up all .... this is Sunderland AFC.
Get used to it!

Here are some media links to the West Brom v Sunderland game on Saturday.
I think the clanger by Costel Pantilimon lost us the game and so does the media.
Sam Allardyce loses his first game as Sunderland manager.

Pants makes a goalkeeping blunder to allow West Brom to score the only goal of the game:

Its Sam's first defeat on his first game while managing a football club.
There had to be one though why not us
