I find it very strange myself as well. I'm a NUFC fan and there's no denying that there's good quality in the team, but something, somewhere has went very wrong. Just seen the stats there, which say that you guys have only taken 1 point from 21 available. Bad tactics? Dressingroom unrest? No spirit for the club? No morale? The manager? What is it?
Wasn't expecting much and good old SAFC didn't disappoint. That's another pitiful display of football with zero effort from the whole team and zero tactics from SB. Hate to say it lads but we are getting worse with no sign of any improvement on the horizon, we don't win the next game which is a possibility against a much improved and tighter defensively West Brom and we'll be in the clarts big time. Turner was nowhere near fit so why play him? Muntari is a waste of space get rid while we still can? Another bad day for Henderson as well to add to the Jordan bashers ammo dump. The list could go on for a very long time. As H.J. Simpson once said "Alcohol the cause of and answer to all lifes problems" obviously not a Sunderland fan then.
Shame about Cattermole, you all thought he would be the answer to the problems, better than Tiote they said....
We were always going to lose this game, realistically, but the manner of it makes next week very difficult. At the minute, we're relegation fodder, but i don't even consider that we'll be involved in that. We'll finish between 9th and 12th, but if it's 12th, Bruce has serious questions to answer.
Being honest I would think your lot would have enough in your locker to stay up, but your "easy run in" is against a lot of teams down there fighting to stay up, it wont be easy. What a difference a weekend makes eh?
"1745: Fear not, though, Sunderland fans for today is not a complete washout - Sunderland Ladies only went and clinched the Women's Premier League title with a 3-2 win at relegation threatened Millwall Lionesses earlier didn't they? Break out the bubbly." Dont fret, the best team in Sunderland are doing alright *sorry couldnt resist*
50meone should 5ay s0mething to cheer 5teve Bruce up, 0bviou5ly he's n0t been able to build on the 5tunning draw against l0cal rival5 Newcastle United. 0ne win in ten? 5h0cking!
