He was our POTS so don't think people are overrating him. He's s*** and we got relegated. Least shitty s*** is not an award of any relevance. You weren't saying that at the time like. Basically everyone was agreed that he had played decently during his run in the team Are you his Da?

Absurd to blame the keeper alone for dropping points the other night. Mitrovic should have rendered Darlow's mistake irrelevant.

Agreed. It's depressing to contrast the amount of leeway Krul was always given with the criticism of Darlow.

He's made a mistake in most games for a while now He's also made countless catches and commanded numerous situations which fatty Elliott and Sels would have watched unfold from the supposed safety of their goalline, no matter the pressure it piled on their back four. Darlow's a young keeper. Young keepers make mistakes, but the best of them remain brave enough to keep trying to do the right things and learn more about their trade along the way.

If Darlow makes more discernible "errors" than Elliott it's because he's a far braver keeper (ie braver in his decision-making). Look how he claimed cross after cross at Wolves. Would Elliott have done that? A keeper who doesn't look to command his box may not make as many glaring mistakes, but the pressure he creates for his back four will ultimately cost the team more heavily. For me, anyone who thinks Elliott - a decent shot-stopper but nothing more - is a better goalkeeper than Darlow needs a serious word with themselves.

Couldn't have picked a worse example. Cole was a good finisher before he joined us. His finishing was s*** for a long while at Man Utd, clearly IMPROVED it. And, btw, since you love being the forum's biggest t***, i would like to make it clear that I was disagreeing with Klaus regarding the notion that you can't improve your finishing. Not about Mitro's finishing ability. Just in case you keep jumping on it again. Honestly f***ing grow up man. You're the one telling people to put their heads in meat grinders on saturday, pot calling kettle. Absurd post. Cole's finishing for us was unreal. Countless goals scored in one on ones like Mitrovic had last night. Apologies Neesy, I was replying to Dinho lad, but phone playing up.

Magnificent again today. Would like to think he is one who can step up a league.

Improved massively in the second half. Looked and moved like he was carrying some sort of brain injury before the break.

That's the type of nonsense which has other fans calling us delusional. Please stop with it.

Textbook set Ronaldo off on one post Ronaldo would be calling Lloris if he was our keeper. No keeper is allowed to make a single mistake without being dismissed by the wise one. Darlow is bound to make the odd error on crosses because he takes responsibility for so many of them. I - and I bet our centre-halves - would far rather that than have him stuck to his line. It's the mark of a truly brave keeper - and the mistakes will lessen with experience.

Watching Gosling tonight, even he's got far more about him than Jogback.

Should win comfortably, but a little nervous about Atsu's tendency to give the ball away cheaply.

Well, yeah, because that would be the view of an imbecile. Well, yeah, because the cross was on the 6 yard line. You aren't seriously comparing that incident with Sels' latest flap hand moment?

The search function is the best thing on RTG..

Must have dreamt Gayle's tap-in on Saturday...

Apart from Gouffran being class all season...? Couple of good goals and that is why he starts. Mostly more anonymous than Gini was. Offered absolutely nothing today. This. Do you go to games (genuine question)? Our third best player on Saturday.

Apart from Gouffran being class all season...? He hasn't been. He's been s**** last 4-5 games. No. Exactly this. Was more than decent on Saturday.

So many 80s teenage memories - most of them at away games. The 8-1 defeat at West Ham on a Monday night where Pedro ended up in goal, a win at Oxford where Billy Whitehurst (playing for them) offered out the whole away end, the '87 Cup game at Spurs (mental inside the ground, far worse outside), Paul Goddard scoring a midweek winner at Arsenal. A copper scraping me off the floor after I slipped celebrating Andy Thomas scoring in a win at Chelsea. Sadly, also some less happy memories (NF songs, monkey chants)...

Yes, he is quick in terms of straight-line foot speed. Shame that alone doesn't make a footballer, let alone a decent full-back. He is SO slow in his decision-making on the ball that it's agonising to watch. How many times does he end up delaying his distribution so long that his "passes" are charged down?

This is bang on, our fans are so accepting of mediocrity now it stinks. The "we can't get any better" or the "without Ashley we would have done a Leeds" comments from a lot of even quite knowledgeable fans is sickening to say the least. There's nothing wrong with aspiring for more, its not deluded to stand up for better, if you don't you end up like ambition less Sunderland absolutely buzzing about winning a relegation battle every single year. Yeah, cos we'd have sold 40,000 season tickets had McClaren still been in charge...

Ronny reads minds, didn't you know? From a distance, obviously. Funny, but I'd be surprised if he wasn't one of those who ridiculed the fans who protested after KK got shafted. You're damned if you do and if you don't where NO's supreme being is concerned.
