  1. How can he be classed as "great". He's played very well at times, but made some crucial mistakes also, and is no way the finished article. Russell Anderson, or a McLeish type player, can be described as "great", but no way Diamond, yet.

     

     

    Was using the word that minijc used as opposed to "half-decent". I agree that he's by no means the finished article. I also did say that he's made mistakes but again.. if we had to rely on just Considine and Mair/Bus we'd be fecked. Zander deserves credit.

  2. I would suggest he has been 'half-decent' - not great?!

     

     

    No. definately great. Some people are refusing to give him his due but we'd be fecked without him this season. We dont have another decent central defender. Not saying he's not made a single mistake but overall he's been great.

  3. Pish! A good player IMO. No way is he out of his depth in the Championship. He's come back from a long term injury and is playing a long distance from his family. Plymouth will see his worth if they keep him next season.

     

     

    Agreed. He excelled for us under JC and has been underrated for a long time because he didnt play for the gruesome twosome. There's eejits on the PA forum saying he shouldn't be a first choice center back for them but I think he has the quality to be first choice for Sunderland in the premiership.

  4. I really enjoyed todays game. We were passing the ball around really well and I thought we were unlucky to go into HT only level. Mistake from Diamond for their goal but apart from that they didn't really threaten.

     

    Miller had a good chance from a header in the first half, then Jones cleared one off the line. In the 2nd half Mackie's goal was much like Maguires vs Falkirk but from the other side. It was a soft penalty for our 2nd but finished well.

     

    Can only assume the players were sent off for things they said. The first one I could see coming as the player was clearly going to get booked but wouldn't go over to the ref. Another Hibs player was also trying to get him to walk away so he was clearly having a go at the ref. Nish must have aid something fairly serious to get a straight red for something he said, or had he been booked earlier?. He didn't argue it at all.

     

    After that we created a lot of chances and should have scored more. Duff had a few chances, the two on his left foot he ballooned but the one on his right was a great strike. Miller went close from distance but I think the keeper had it covered. Same with the one he hit the bar with, if it had been low enough to go in I think the keeper would have got a touch.

     

    It's hard to pick out any poor players after a game like that. I thought even Duff played well, although he was still getting a lot of stick from some. I wouldn't give him a new deal based on this performance alone but if he keeps that up for the rest of the season then I think he'll be a good squad player.

     

     

    The Duff chances you mention really pissed me off.

     

    He obviously doesn't have a left foot but he had plenty time and was in a great position and I thought he should have tried to cross rather than shoot. (Maybe that's what he did?) But either way he buggered two really good potential chances. I dont think he played well. Maybe he made less fuck-ups making it look like he did OK. I think he's mince and he can GTF.
