    Not the defence. He has little choice with that. You can put a pink ribbon and a candle on a turd. But its still just a turd.

    The rest of the team. The part that has potential. How does SA fit them in?

    AJ. Borini. Defoe. Lens. Toi. Flether and Watmore.

    There isnt room for all of them.

    So who gets the nod from you?

    SA will obviously change things whem he see.s fit. Yesterdays was a strange selection.

    Yesterday was indeed a strange selection and set up. It seemed to work for a while though. Maybe with better centre halves it could still work...

    It's a difficult one.
    That's what SAMs there for.
    Me I'd go for Lens Defoe borini with
    Toi behind them the other three on the bench

    SA will change things up depending on who we play.

    Dont think there is a definite 3 who will start every game, it will depend on what tactics SA wants to use and who we are playing.

    Brown was just too slow for that formation, as was particularly exposed once Cattermole went off injured. With a couple of quicker center halves it could work imo.

    In todays echo SA has said he.s already making his mind up on players he believes are part of his future plans.

    18 different players have been in his first 3 statting line ups.

    Can't see Jack Rodwell featuring much, just what does he bring too the team, yesterday was a great opportunity to try and impress SA and he,failed miserably, hope Catts injury isn't long term.

    CB Thats his only hope now.

    I think this may just happen in the near future.

    DA tinkered with the idea. Now JR has stated today that he would play there if needed.

    No harm in giving it a go

    HA HA HA

    6 Goals, even with a 5 man defence, what were you playing at. Pants was awful , litterally wearing his pants round his ankle. He was top drawer against us, but just goes to show, your team are awful.

    Watch us climb out the relegation Zone on Sat before you even kick off. Then you entertain saints, I've put their front 3 in my dream team for next week, Pelle as captain, going to score loads of points! reckon they might get 6 Against you.

    You like 6 dont you, your fans were even predicting it before and during the game, 6!

    Oh look who's crawled out from under his rock.

    The disappearing man.

    Word of advice. If you want many bites you will have to be a lot bettet than that pathetic attempt.

    It was lame. No imagination or effort put into it at all.

    So 1/10. And thats just a sympathy 1.

    Weak wumming and zero credability.

    Cheers Com, dont mind if i call you Com do you com?

    Wait untill your relegated! You think this is poor? I'm salvating all my creative juices for Relegation Day, Hopefully Boro come up and we can have some entertaining derbies, rather than your boring ones where you get all the luck and play none of the actual football!

    I'll be back every week you get spanked (probably most weeks), and the week before you come to SJP.

    You will all be calling for BIG SAM OUT in no time at all, probably be too late by then!

    I don't know about anyone else but this was so well written that it hit me like being flattened by a bus. Don't you know that we have feelings too?

    Com is fine.

    Like i have said you just need to be more creative in these things. As so far you have not said one thing we havnt heard a thousand times before.

    Relegation......check.
    Boro up......check
    Manager out.......check
    Lucky derby games......check.

    Now have a long hard think about and when you have something new and inventive please feel free to return and share it with us.

    Mind they are a hard audience on here, so maybe you may need to ask for help.

    I doubt between the mags and Sunderland we could not get a decent back 4 out of the lot of them. Our back four/5 are dire and probably the skunks back four are worse. ATM both teams are very likely candidates for relegation. The race is on to see if Streeve 'tufty' McLaren or Big Sam can sort the defences out first//// on that lies the fates of both our teams..
