Derby County 1 Sunderland 4
I've seen some pretty dire performances from the Rams, especially in recent years, but Good Friday 2018 must rank as one of the worst I've seen. We made a very poor team look good.
I don't like running players down and going in for character assassination, because it's not nice and just undermines the team I support. I'm fairly sure the players know they were appalling and need to learn how to pass the ball to a team-mate.
Gary Rowett is coming in for a lot of criticism but I fail to see what control he has over own goals, passes straight to the opposition's striker and a poorly judged tackle in the penalty area. We basically gifted Sunderland 3 goals, presumably as some sort of Easter present.
I think we mustered all of 2 shots on goal, one a cracking strike from Vydra, who in the second half contrived to put an easier chance a mile over. It's easy to say, but all he had to do was pass the ball into the net. Instead, he went for the power and the glory.
Well the players have got an early chance of redemption at Preston tomorrow. Let's hope for a much improved performance and a much-needed win.
