    No way Clarke, Ballard or Neil stay this summer with Beale here. Admittedly tough to keep regardless.

    He’d have knocked better dead balls in than Pritchard mind, even with his impending pregnancy

    I was mildly surprised when we sacked Mowbray but we were going backwards as you say at an increasing rate of knots. The main problem was our defence was horribly exposed and he didn't seem to have any ideas about how to fix it.

    It's not any kind of insult or comment on parochialism. It's a basic fact demonstrated millions of times over throughout the world, as you've just highlighted in your 'heads up'.

    Well said

    The plan is right, we need to be signing younger players with higher upsides than players that are past it. What they needed to do in the summer is sign more immediate impact youngsters - like we did with the likes of ballard n clarke the yr before

    Not sure why snowflakes are being mentioned due to have a different opinion from someone like

    Said before if the club are as data driven as we are led to believe he'd be gone tonight.

    xG numbers are worse than relegation teams.

    If we look at last season ok we had Roberts, Amad and Clarke absolutely destroying teams it was impossible to stop. This season not replaced amad and Roberts isn't the same without him. This season its all about give it to Clarke and hope for the best. Yeah the pelters are out for Beale however Speakman is surely under scrutiny here? I mean how can you appoint a coach and not allow them there own backroom staff? How would we ever get a coach that isn't allowed to bring in his own staff he trusts etc? Yeah Beale can be held accountable for substitutions etc but he has still got the same squad to work with that mowbray had yet fans turned and he got sacked.

    Oh dear that is very poor. I'm interested in why is your club called Sunderland, this had better be good?

    Don’t think your being fair there fans didn’t get Mowbray sacked at all! More fans were pissed off about him being sacked.

    Not blaming the fans but he was sacked because the same thing was happening before he went as it is now. The quality we had hasn't been replaced and we are now struggling.

    Mowbray was sacked because of a bad run of results, questionable substitutions and a lack of any hint of a plan B tactically. Possibly also due to a fall out with the people above over transfers. It had nothing to do with the fans.

    Beale has come in and changed absolutely nothing other than maybe slow us down. We are still needlessly playing players out of position and there’s no hint of any tactical tweaking. That’s why some fans are pissed off and quite rightly so.

    Not a Rangers fan myself. But very worried history is repeating itself

    Yeah but this is what I'm saying we've not replaced the quality of the front 3 of last season it is all on Clarke this season.

    Both are suffering from a lack of first team ready players

    Can we also add the players had a close bond to Mogga so no shock they cant just suddenly change mentality to Beale.

    Its a complete sh$t show
