    Tried to be positive. I am mostly about the signings.

    But why are we backing this guy? Worst keeper we’ve ever had

    Totally agree, but you think Holgate was seen purely for cover in 2 positions? As he isnt a starting level CB for a team wanting promoting in even this league.

    It's a transitional season and not everything will fall into place immediately. I never thought that we would "piss the league" and a few have got carried away by a few wins.
    That being said, the defending has to improve and it's a shame that Jack picked up his injury, it will be good to see how the team reacts in adversity and I hope we go down fighting in this match.

    Yeah can agree with this. Everything Sunderland have tried has largely been effective. Whereas our play has been slow, ponderous and predictable.

    Think this will end up 5-0 or 4-4…

    I'm still saying end of September / mid-October is the time to judge us/Martin.

    Will have played a nice variety of teams by then and had enough time to settle into the style.

    Certainly not going to panic if we lose this today. Once THB is up to speed and Stewart gets fit etc, we’ll have our proper team available.

    That side should not be 3 down at Sunderland what ever way you want to spin it. That was **** by any standards.

    Football is an emotional game, but man we have some very reactionary people here!

    I love how some people still get their kicks commenting on others reactions rather than talking about the game. Gaslighting 101 in this place. We are playing **** in every aspect and have been poorly set up. That is something we are allowed to get frustrated with.

    Macca was at least good for a few games a few seasons ago.

    Bazunu is ****ing horrific. May as well have a mannequin in goal. What’s the point of him

    4-4 is on if they bring Vergini on at HT to get us up and running.

    We are obviously not set up right and our downfall is the way we cope after losing the ball and especially high up the pitch. Sunderland are very quick in transition against us (not the 1st time we have seen this in the first few games) and our players seem to be all over the place when we lose the ball. BIG changes needed at half time.

    Sure, it was ****. But that will happen sometimes.
