Ross also had a weaker squad .

What I liked about Ross was the way he galvanised the team straight away. We'd come down with a whimper, defeatist attitudes everywhere around the club (including the fans - we were all rock bottom), but within a couple of weeks there seemed to be team spirit and camaraderie. Obviously it all fell apart, but he had a tough job from the outset. Parkinson and then Johnson should have been able to build on what they had.
 
Only Sunderland could lose 6-0 on Saturday, sack the manager on Sunday, and threaten to sell out the next match by Tuesday. There've been some lows through the years, but highs like this make up for them. Can hardly imagine what it'll be like on Saturday if Defoe scores.

Just watched this and I think that there's now a proper leader in the dressing room. He'll do all he can on and off the pitch to get this club promoted, from talking to youngsters giving them encouragement and guidance, to the "senior" and other first team players egging them on to do everything to get a result. Welcome home Jermaine!

Nailed on Defoe hatrick

Mad thing is, Ross would probably be a reasonably good fit now.

Came too soon for him. Was a classy fella but absolutely bottled it at the end.
