Personally thought we started with a 4-2-3-1 formation with Washington on the left of the three with Nasser in the middle and Pawel on right behind Sylla. He played narrower than a natural winger.

Moyes had the nous to know our weakness was at full back and changed team and formation. Poor kid was in laa laa land. Washington sorry mate you have had enough chances goodbye. Nasser good at crossing when not being greedy powderpuff tackling.
If Henry plays instead of Sandro then will sincerly doubt JFH. Like the giraffe won the ball in the air and good first touch. We could have won that game with better substitutions but the wrong people went off.
P.S. Cousins pull your bloody finger out we know you are capable of better.Comment

I think this is basically the gist of what tonight showed, albeit I think the only sub that should have been made that wasn't was taking Nasser off. His delivery in open play is alright and some of his free kicks were really good, but he does need to start getting involved more in the challenge and he shouldn't start to be honest, because he lacks the fitness to do so. Cousins 100% can do better, we've seen it. He needs to be more calm under pressure and he'll be fine. Right now he makes too many mistakes in our half and we can't be carrying that sort of error."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Said it before on here after going to huddersfield, although i got a season ticket i aint driving 160 mile round trip to leave totally fed up with a manger who i really didn't want and still don't want. if we as fans were coming away with seeing more positives in defeat than the same old dross served up and player selection and position of them id be a bit more tolerant. i will give him 1 thing at least he's tried a few of the youngsters out when he can, other than that id give him less than the uk scores in eurovision which at present is more entertaining than watching the Rs.
Also if by what most on here say 1 up they were there for the taking and he blew it by changing shape to one that gets us beat each week I'm not in the least bit surprised. On a positive note the 1st round of get thumped by Fulham should see the back of the clown and another hopeless Les act turn up for a few months.Comment

Spot on mate - Good performance but JFH lost us the game with his changes IMOHe started off with 4-4-2. We were doing fine, having a good first half, in control of the game and deservedly took the lead. Then JFH sabotages everything by reverting back to type with 4-5-1. Why he did that I've no idea? But immediately and inevitably our game suffers, Moyes makes an inspired triple substitution and before we know it we've gone from 1-0 up to 2-1 down. By the end Ndong was running rings around us. The manager lost us this game IMO. As for Sandro, it's an absolute mystery why he picks Henry over him in the league. The two games he's featured in the cup he's been one of our best players, so why keep ignoring him? Makes no sense whatsoever. Washington did well up front with Sylla first half, then he moves him to LM and he's completely anonymous. Again, why??
Sunderland were low on confidence going into the game and were there for the taking. All we did was give them their confidence back, just like we did to Blackburn, Preston and Huddersfield.Comment

But he still did what the punters wanted FFS why can't they give the fella a pat on the back for trying and wait for Saturday , got to make sense to see if it lasts than wasting more time looking to make changes cos I can tell you now Mcclaren will soon have them on his back if he becomes manager , but as dof I don't knowComment
