Ex-Sunderland forward Stephen Elliott tweeted: “Why Ethan Robson hasn’t been given even half a chance in this squad seriously baffles me. He’s miles better than other CMs in the squad. He will probably never be given a go at #safc to prove me right or wrong, which is criminal. That was a horrific performance 1st half!”
A Love Supreme tweeted: “This kind of match we need to work a system that will get 3 players in midfield, we don’t need 3 centre half’s and because whoever brings the ball out has no options we can’t build any attacks out from the back.”
@BarryDixon Barry Dixon tweeted: “Barring a miracle that’s game over. Deserved nowt, looks like going to get nowt.”
