    You can't get rid of an entire team! And why do you feel sorry for the next manager? He will have one of the strongest squads in the Championship to work with.

    Ross Stewart is invisible. The Sunderland fans said his work rate is phenomenal lol.

    Looks like he's just trying to avoid sprinting or any physical contact.

    And why the f*ck aren't we playing Dibling? Every week Sulemana starts and puts in a shocker of a performance.

    Still on for being the worst ever on GD at this rate. Absolute pricks.
    Also if we don’t come out second half with one less CB then what is the ****ing point.

    That was a Russell Martin tribute act. The first choice was always to play backwards or to the side. When receiving the ball the automatic choice, from most, was to turn back towards our goal instead of turning towards theirs.
    I know some really don’t like Tall Paul but at least he gets involved, not an accusation you can aim at Stewart so far.
    Even before the Vardy goal, when we were “looking decentish” we weren’t threatening their goal.

    I'm not gonna judge Stewart as he has been out for so long . He's not had anything to feed off either

    He's a League One player who had a really brief run in the Championship before being out a couple of years with career hampering injuries.

    Oh and when we signed him for £8-9m he was on the last year of his contract and still recovering from an ACL.

    This is so far out of his level it is unreal, that isn't his fault, it is a result of our devastatingly inept recruitment department, certainly the worst in the UK, possibly one of the worst in the World?

    Yep. I've said all season even Haaland wouldn't score with our piss poor midfield and wingers.

    But at the same time, a decent striker should at least pressure the defenders and make runs. Ross does neither.

    I disagree. I think people are overestimating the quality of Championship. Like last time, once we start winning games again everyone will calm down and be all happy again.

    Utterly pathetic performance. Jack in particular has been dreadful.

    Lack of urgency is shameful really. A very angry away end.

    The time it took for the ref replacement was pathetic. All the money in this league and the contingency for a ref injury takes over ten minutes? Ridiculous.

    Agreed. Not one of them looks fired up.

    Last time we went down with a squad that had been somewhat competitive for most of the season. Even with the collapse at the end we finished 11 points from safety. This lot are likely to finish more than 25 points off. We only just went up last time, it will definitely be much harder now.

    Nah, not this time. No chance. Too much to do on & off field.
