    Ironically Huggins getting a long term injury might force us into a back three like the Leeds game.

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results - Sunderland 23/24

    Hopefully Alese will be brought back into the squad now. He looked good when he came on the 2nd half against Arsenal U23s

    Which of our players will get petulantly sent off in the last 5 mins then? Hume, O’Nien or Neil?

    I get your pissed off and we all are, but there’s absolutely no evidence they hate Beale

    Normally you get a new manager bounce where the players try to impress him. This looks like they're working to rule <laugh>

    The style simply has to change. Only way you can successfully play slow, possession based football is if you have a major talent advantage, like Leicester do in this league and City in the Prem. We will continue to see games like this if we don't collectively change.

    it’s so so so so so slow. It’s one of the reason ONiens passing stats are so impressive. We take forever and build through him.

    The rangers players actually liked him, just a poor man manage- struggled to get players motivated or fired up but they all liked him

    That came directly from a rangers player

    There’s tonnes of quotes from players who’ve loved working under him. I’m not sure why some are so convinced the players will hate him

    Worst I’ve seen them in our 4 games since promotion. Didn’t look interested first half and we’ve handed it on a plate.

    I just don’t think we have the players this season like we did last year. No amad, Pritchard in/out the team, even Embo was tidy at knitting the team together. Something has to change. We’ve played our best this season with a back 3, not something I personally like but if it’s working so be it

    Shocking result n performance, only good thing about today is we are still 3 points off 5th

    Need to change things up nxt game otherwise we will keep dominating possession but not threatening teams

    Ive got a night of scouting strikers for my team, ill need to fire some reports to KS if i see any good ones

    Merry Christmas when it comes lads
