    I sincerely hope your right.

    I'm an eternal optimist, and i am ****ing struggling to find anything to grab onto, seriously.

    I'm not keen on arguing and fighting with fellow SAFC fans, but i am sticking to my guns on this one, the full season stats, despite some impressive results in the first half, still show a top 10 club that lost half of it's home games.

    Does this suggest a good season, or a weak league?

    I'm not trying to be negative, believe me that's not my style, i desperatley would love someone to convince me we're gonna be ok, but i am struggling mate, really struggling.

    Exactly BB good post.

    Up until yesterday I had never thought of wanting Bruce sacked, however after yesterday woeful showing, and Steve Bruce thinks we can win a game of football with no strikers just beggers belief. I know were only 3 games into the season but its obvious we are not as good as we thought and with not replacing Bent we are in for a season towards the bottom end of the table.

    I don't care if Brighton played well that's of no concern of mine, what is though is the performance of our players we should be going there and beating them not looking for excuses.

    We will lose against Swansea I have no doubt of that.

    5G1HT - The lad has come in for some unfair criticism he only offered his opinion some of which I agree with.

    I expect verbal abuse if I'm WUMing your board in the most witless way possible like murray out and psycho like to do on a regular basis. However I just stated my opinion on Bruce and an opinion that seemed to be popular with many other sunderland fans.

    May I just say well done, for responding without name calling. Now if the pro Bruce posters can try this method we may be back to a forum. <ok>

    It gets better on here every day, haha. I'm thinking of starting to support Sunderland as a second team just so I can feel some of this passion!

    Can I just say, I'm a fan of SB as a player obviously...well I was when he played, and to some extent he's a good manager, in that I can see he can set up a team to defend well. But has he ever delivered at any level? Let's face it, Roberto Di Matteo and Chris Hughton got a Championship promotion in their first season with WBA and NUFC respectively, so that's no massive feat. All I can think of is that he's uncovered some decent players, Valencia being the pick of the crop if I'm not mistaken he was brought in by Bruce to Wigan. But I can't see what he's achieved that makes you think you're not getting your monies worth out of him.

    Last season SAFC went on a very decent run, but it was massively distorted by the extremely poor starts to the season from Liverpool, Everton, Fulham and Villa. The Bent sale had nothing to do with it, Sunderland just ran into a load of fixtures against teams they wouldn't usually beat, but because they recorded results against, Chelsea, City and Liverpool, SAFC's fans' expectations went through the roof.

    Steve Bruce won't deliver you success because it's not in his pedigree as a manager to do so, but sacking him probably won't help, that should have been done before the chequebook came out in the summer if it was going to be done at all.

    4 points from your next two fixtures and I bet there wouldn't be a "Bruce Out" post in sight.

    The hardcore who have never give him a lickings would still be there, but I'm sure that the knee-jerk over-reaction that we are now witnessing would die down...
