    I wasn't having a pop mate.

    This place is all about opinions. Everyone's is valid.

    I'd love to think we could make the playoffs but we're struggling at the minute and I don't see it myself. Not just yet.

    Looking at the table, a bloody good run would get us there, but the squad seems to be struggling with confidence.

    I'd settle for mid-table this year and some stability.

    That's the problem we are nort pysical or lower league level savy enough to handle lower level teams. We will get there soon but atm we suffer when the other team outbattle us.
    this worries me as we have Bolton at home soon - Ben Alnwick in goal who would have had a great future here if not for foolish off field shenanigans - in my experience of opposing keepers he'll have the game of his life against us and we'll get sucker punched by a fluky break away goal.
    Hopefully I'm wrong and they are our second successive home win as our comeback is in full flow <ok> EDIT : and confidence restored <cheers>

    He's a bit **** but he's capable of moments of skill.

    I'm not worried about Sunderland yet but a failure to win against either Burton or Bolton will panic me. They are the two weakest teams in the league, they are the surest things to going down there are and you have them in back-to-back home fixtures. 4 points plus is a must, even 3 would be a worry.

    That's never not been a problem for us, every week they line up and our players look smaller and weaker than the opposition. That's all most moderately successful teams are it seems to me, big, strong and fast.

    Whereas we favour small, puny and slow. Been that way for a long time.

    Especially in midfield, proper bunch of short arses there and slim to no physicality. Swap Cattermole for a tall and strong CM and we'd be looking better.

    Pretty sure we'll survive but think it will be an ugly season to forget. Don't think we'll make it comfortable.

    Wish I shared Tees' optimism but I don't by a long shot. Think we'll finish somewhere between 16th and 22nd.

    Agree totally maybe McNair for Catts.
    But we need this asap as we have a run of must win games ending with Boro (a) before the next football stress free weekend.

    I think Moyes sucked the last bit of positivity and self belief out of the players and fans. SG came with some positive noises but our default mindset is still negative when things are bad. That's why a sports psychologist is must :emoticon-0112-wonde......plus a few good wins :emoticon-0148-yes:

    You have to get rid of Short and all his Cronies first. Coz those ****s will never do anything positive for SAFC

    Yes root and branch changes needed but I can't see this happening for a while and not as the fans want. I fear we may sink further yet.
    Positive head on - we have at least 7 more points by the time we play Boro'

    Not going to happen , am not able to watch now but from what I can glean there are signs of promise , and certainly a few worse teams
