I haven't seen the match but on the evidence supplied by Bri it appears Storm Brian helped us first half and hindered us second half.
Dont think it was owt to do with SGs tactics:emoticon-0148-yes:
However that's us on a three match unbeaten run, two of those games against teams in form away from home so we just have to get the monkey off our backs at home before the end of this month then I think well do OK.
 
As I've said, I'd rather be realistic. I don't see today as progress bu rather a step in the obvious direction of relegation. I think having watched Sunderland for 47 years I can pick up on the signs of things going very bad. As I mentioned earlier, things now have more than a whiff of the Lawrie Mac era. It seems so obvious.

I'll be positive when the winds change. However, I can't see that anytime soon. Trust me if I could sense something positive was on the horizon, I would shout it from the rooftops.

Anyway, call me a booboy, if you like. I would call it realism. I know we have different opinions and that's ok. I would love o be proved wrong<ok>

Blowing a 2 goal lead is not a positive, it’s another **** show. I’m with you pal.

That's nearly half the season. So 3 wins in 19 games and you'd be happy for him to crack on. You need at least 50 points just to stay in this league
Don't get me wrong, any normal situation I would have had no qualms if he had been sacked. Our results have been woeful, but we are far from normal. We are improving slowly, which is just about enough for him to keep his job for now. But he is fast running out of chances mind.

Not a bad result this, its the home form we need to nail, a win at home will make this a good result, but losing from a winning position is always a downer. On the positive side, we are slowly coming to terms with this league, which has been much harder than expected tbh.
shakes head.. give ower mate any loss is bad but a **** performance to boot, against a mediocre team, we made them look great , very dissapointed
 
Here we go, balanced.

I'll take the away point like. Positives unbeaten in three, come from behind in the last three. We've goals in us and we're working hard. The negatives and the things we need to see improvement. Keeping a bloody lead, we don't get the lead often but we need to learn to keep our cool and remain organised. Teams chasing the lead always turn the screw, back to the age old problem of our defence coping under pressure.

Still loads of time, still not calling for graysons head. There is improvement evident. We're harder to beat, we're scoring goals, we're constantly working hard and we're getting ourselves back into games. Need to start seeing improvement on not conceding first, and keeping it together under pressure. That last one is problem going back half a decade, not easy fix, will take time. But we're definitely improving no matter what the boo boys say imo.
up till Jan mate when the window opens and Shorty sells any ****er who puts an offer in
 
My thoughts are that I honestly did/do not want to go back up this season (I know fat chance of that now like). There would be no chance, without a miracle, that we could offer anything within the premiership. It would be therefore better I think to stick with Grayson, plod on and hope Short manages to sell. We can then start from scratch (hopefully still from the championship).

Comparing Lawrie Mac to Simon Grayson is well off the mark. Mac did not care one iota about SAFC. and proved it, a stinker if ever there was one.
Well, although we chucked that away at least I was getting my cock sucked while we did it.
As bripolar. Says if you have no balls or backbone its no bother to give yourself a bj.

Mate I loved seeing us 3-1 of course, but we ****ed it again.

It’s so ****ing frustrating. I do think a win is close though.

Yeah I admit that, but that's not the point which I was making to Buxton which brought that response(The comment you responded too). He's he was dodging my point and done nowt but put us down all day even in response to good things. Just pointing that when you said you were with him, that you haven't actually slagged us off all day like he has.
