So the stats yesterday show we were the better side. We also bossed the stats V Coventry apart from one which was the scoreline. https://fbref.com/en/matches/89c57f52/Sunderland-Coventry-City-December-23-2023-Championship
How about actual results and goals conceded then? That do for you? This is a team meant to be progressive and on the up, a high performance culture. Not my words but KS. The home end let their feelings known. They have overseen nothing but defeats at home other than 1 game. Big whoppings and defeats against a team that had their under 21s out. The club use data to measure performance every game. Xg is a significant factor. Not only that, if you are watching and think we have improved then , I am sorry but that's some delusion.
This is true. But a similar thing applies to Speakman. There will be genuine football/financial/personal reasons why he hasn't brought in the players that we need. It's not as simple as just saying "we'll have that one".
i'm usually canny chilled when it comes to the windows and always say wait till it's finished but i'm getting a little worried at the moment with it just over a week left to get what we need
Our new style or way of playing has got us losing games. Player values going down with every defeat or poor display
We got beat 3-0 mate. What on earth are you on about. We have been terrible under beale. Awful on the eye and on the data. No dispute.
The process has been; Decide which side I’m on and gob off about it Hope we get good evidence so I’m right As I say I’m not convinced after the last two mainly his indecision. What is right is that bar that big moment we defended better than last week and I was worried about defence last week so that got sorted. There’s a collective knowledge on the side that we don’t have a strong right side and we haven’t got a forward to threaten defenders. Play follows that accordingly. It needs sorting.
I'm starting to think we're not going to get anyone. It feels like it's absolute chaos behind the scenes at the minute.
100%. His post match conferences are an absolute disgrace. Digging out players. Not at the level. Not the fans got it last night. What's he doing like ? The absolute melt.
Trying to think back , what decent balls were put in the box, we are far too slow and too many players hold on to the ball far to long.
We chose him based on he was unemployed. Do not let them make you think otherwise. If we chose head coach on data, he would have been Miles down the list,
Of course. I think there’s been a massive **** up with the striker position. Can’t understand why but it’s been going on for too long. I presume it’s money, maybe waiting on the Stewart contract offer,‘I don’t know but it hasn’t helped Mowbray and it isn’t helping Beale. I think Scout73 has it right, that we need more Clarke - league ready types and less hit and hopes but hit and hopes can make the money to spend on the players. Just needs rebalancing - like our team.
i don't think it's chaos i'm starting to generally think it's got a feel of ticking along till a sale is decide and completed,
Always believed in KLD and the approach, but 3 years later the off field stuff still not sorted, and then bargain basement Beale. Starting to wonder if I've been conned, by a slightly more sophisticated version of SD Don't want to think that but need a straw to cling to.
