    Do you not remember the last few years?

    He's come into a club that had losing mentality and he's had to do a squad overhaul. His signings have looked good and he seems to have a philosophy. He's new to the job. Do you not remember Peter Reid's first few year, at the club? The football wasn't exactly thrilling for the first few years, with the likes of Paul Stewart. He was building something and finally it clicked.

    Give him time you impatient sod.

    Want to try reading that again? I’m saying drop Power. Willing to give Grigg a chance as he’s been prolific at this level - doesn’t mean I think he’s good enough to play in the league above which is where Wigan are - i’ll reserve my judgement until i’ve had a few chances to watch the lad. What changes would you make to address the current situation?

    Some of our fans make me despair, threatening Donald, wanting Ross sacked. Brainless bedwetters.

    Between just me and you. This little general character isn't even a Sunderland supporter. It's a parody account. I called him out on it a couple year back.

    He'll deny it. When he first started he made a beeline for me and Tel, a few other things have happened and he's always ready to stick the knife in at times like this...

    You're a joke , if people don't share your opinion you hide behind other posters, weak man.

    Ross is drawing too many games and we don't score enough goals...go and piss your self girly.

    I don't hide from anything. Especially a sad bastard like you. I even remember you saying you were going to a meet-up a 2 or 3 times. Always fell through, though <whistle>

    I enjoyed my walk round historic Oxford tonight more than that game.

    We can't play that negatively and keep the supporters on side.

    No Smug we can, we have the best squad in this league and we are under performing , however, point it out and the usual posters throw their fanny pads out.

    We can't beat 2 of the bottom 4 teams......... enough said.

    We can beat Barnsley and Charlton, though. Think you'll beat Wolves on Monday?

    So I’ll ask you again - what would you change? Other than the manager of course. How would you re-shuffle the pack we’ve got

    We have a negative manger, Luton and Barnsley wipe the bottom teams out , we don't, he's untouchable to some, not me, the football I have watched this season is boring, only my opinion, you may like it.

    I think we are under achieving giving the squad we have. You don't . Thats fair enough.

    Where have I said we aren’t underachieving? I’ve suggested changes I would make - what would you do if you were the manager? I think we need to up the tempo - we are playing way to slow and ponderous in our build up.
