Yep for all Bob's faults he's not pointed the finger directly at an employee from what I've seen. Bad form
He's statistically our best attacking player at winning the ball back through duels and interceptions.
Yes I have, deliberately. If he's spewing out private club info to people outside of the club he wants sacking. I'm tired of these endless accusations about the owner of the club being a conman. It's all snide little digs about having rings run round him being Speakman, one minute ... ... then being in cahoots to rip off the supporters and rake in the cash.
Clever technical player and has a bit of class but nowhere near ready to start for a realistic promotion in this division. Like Rusyn, Burstow, Hemir, Mayenda pretty much all of our signings. Our biggest achievement this year was keeping existing players why have improved. Had we suitably replaced the quality of Stewart and Amad in terms of goal threat, added to that improvement we’d be thereabouts. We signed tomorrow players without getting today players.
Problem I see is the 10-15 minutes he's had here and there they've never played him in his natural position. I'm sure Clarke wouldn't look very good if he only came on for the last 15 minutes and we played him at CB
Like a player that hasn’t played in over a month. He did okay, but needs to get used to the way we play, how his team mates play etc I felt like he received and gave lots of passes in tight spaces when he was at LWB and some of them were not great but he wasn’t alone.
Fair play mate. I dont have the data you do, just what I see. After the last couple of games there are a few treading water in that team so maybe time to see if be can replicate over 90mins for 2 or 3 games.
I'd see the logic if he wasn't playing due to Rigg starting but Jobe constantly playing is bordering on a disgrace now. It's unfair on the team and Jobe himself. Just frustrated at how we are handling players this season.
For all the bad press we fans have had this past week, can I just say the minutes applause and chant for Tony Mowbray was first class today and I felt showed our true colours.
In my opinion I dont think that helps anyone. Your call though, but I dont like PMs being put out in the open on here. Just my opinion as always, private messages best left private.
I'm quite concerned about him. Dodds was emotional yesterday in the press conference and the club producing tshirts suggests it's pretty serious.
On that I am 100% with you. My heart sunk a little today when I saw his name on the sheet. Not sure we are helping his medium term development.
Same here mate, praying it's not as serious as it appears. He's a genuine bloke and clearly loved his time here
It certainly was . . . . it certainly wasn't a stupid idea to suggest it, and it seemed like many (tens of) thousands of supporters applauded
Everyone around me stood and clapped and so we should, he gave us some beautiful football and a team to be proud of. I hope he gets better soon and either returns to football or retires and enjoys his retirement
For the record, I said about the one constant is Sunderlands built in coaching staff where a Manager just spear heads it, I have no issue with Dodds, he's the new Kevin Ball, managing the team in-between sackings.
This is a much bigger problem than people think. You look at these “wonderkids” around the world and they get eased into a team with top players and professionals around them to guide them. Ours just get thrown on the pitch wherever they can fit alongside other young lads.
