    This is now free fall....same as Leeds both Sheffield clubs, Forest,Coventy, Portsmouth....The club is a shambles from the top to the bottom. Our league position reflects very accurately our current squad (even if he had a full fit squad to choose from)
    coupled with the administration talk not going away, these are dark days for Sunderland fans.

    At least Steele gave me a chuckle this morning, I get him coming for the ball but leaping into thin air like a startled kitten is inexplicable.

    Shame Stryjek is both on loan and injured this could have been his time to shine.

    We'd better not go five at the back again. Ever. If we can't defend then we should attack and try to outscore them. Not a great plan but neither is five at the back and invite them on all game.

    See 5 at the back is alright if it's something you've spent time and worked on - but we look like we haven't spent any time on it at all and he's just told them, 5 minutes before the bell goes off, that we're playing 5 at the back!

    Always think of this one when things are not going the way I like it..


    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

    I remember when we announced Grayson as manager a Leeds fan came on here and said that it wouldn't be boring watching his side play, there would be plenty of goals, but he didn't say that most of them would be in our net.
    Surely with our players' experience defending shouldn't be that difficult in this league and a lot on here said this a poor league. Well poor or not were making a right dogs dinner of of so far.
    I think Duncan Watmore is going to be seen as our saving grace when's he's back in the side, but it's no good him scoring three every game if the useless ****s at the back concede four or five.
    I'm running out of patience with the whole club.

    It might work playing Ndong as a sweeper, he's mobile enough and reads the game well enough and it should help protect our full backs from getting shagged all game.

    With four at the back that is.

    Can't believe you're still banging that drum.

    At what point will you accept that we're **** and we've been getting results that reflect how the club has been run into the ground?

    There's not some big conspiracy, the referees and luck against us.
