    If the season was another month long we'd have been relegated.

    Obsession with progression, high performance culture etc.

    Hope Wednesday decide to hang onto what they've got, or this could be even more embarrassing.
    Off to watch the Grandson Ref his final match of the season.

    Disgusting performance. Nobody literally gives a ****, apart from Clarke.

    Story of the season in them 45 minutes.
    Miss too many chances and far too easy to play through

    Put the season down to experience and put it right in the summer!

    An absolute reaming at home would sum up this season perfectly.

    As if shooting ourselves in the foot by sacking Mowbray/appointing Beale wasn't enough, we reloaded the gun to shoot ourselves in the other foot by making Dodds interim. Only at Sunderland could this happen :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    At least three times O'Nien's challenge wasn't good enough in similar positions.

    That sums it up. We are conceding goals for fun and missing chance after chance at the other end. Recipe for disaster. Thankfully we can go away now, bring in the new Head Coach and DOF, massively strengthen the spine of this team to suit the shape that we want to adopt.
    Dodds is right about one thing .... some of the players need to take a long hard look at themselves.

    Colour scheme is at least reminiscent of the retro third shirt.

    We are just a bad team. Couple bright spots but overall just ****e.

    The defence has been so bad. Ballard is playing himself out of a move tbh, looks so clumsy. O'Nien poor for the 2nd goal especially but his positioning and decision making has been so bad. Alese and Hume not doing anything really.

    Styles been decent on the ball but him and Ekwah are being ran all over by Barry ****ing Bannan.

    Bishop just no.

    Clarke doing his best but teams just double him because we have no other threat.

    Thought Roberts was looking better but he's so bad at the final product.

    No patterns of play, no defensive structure, no style of play in or out of possession, half arsed pressing, no speed of pass. Just nothing.

    On the bright side, in about an hours time it will all be over and none of this will matter.

    Are we really only a few minor adjustments to getting this right? This team is so poor and has been for months now. So gutted and pissed off watching this, disgraceful. Speakman and Dodds can go for me, fresh ideas needed
