    I've just switched off. Bloody awful to watch even if it's still a pre season friendly. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

    Perhaps we should have chosen easier opposition because this is not going to do much for confidence.

    ...and I'm talking about us as much as the players

    We look like we can make things happen in attack at least, should have scored twice, just everything behind the midfield is a disaster.

    I'm scrabbling around in the dirt for positives mate, we've shown very little quality in attack but we have created a few chances even if we're incapable of taking them.

    Let's hope so because then we can swap him for Defoe.

    Dunno, he does remind me of him a little bit. Quite quick and hardworking, remains to be seen if he can score goals but he hasn't made a good start.

    Stream keeps freezing, missed the 4th goal, sacking it off. Not worth ****ing about with streams.

    Grayson is getting a reality check of what it is like at Sunderland and the players he's working with when they play better opposition. Playing the Scunthorpes and Bury's of the world isn't going to do that but they are a part of the preseason process. We are getting to the sharp end with the first game less than a week away. Also, it will give him an oppurtunity to see attititudes when the going is against which was mainly all last season....who's got the balls for the fight....

    Good for you, not exactly a settled first team for us either thanks to all the new signings and they haven't played a single competitive game together unlike Celtic.

    <steam>. We are shipping goals against Celtic reserves, this is our real problem. 5-0.
