    Ming the merciless

    Which players have in your opinion improved.

    Jack Colback - comfortable in CM or LB some of his forward runs just do not get seen (when he is allowed too)

    Which players in your opinion have gone backwards.

    Seb - not his fault tho out of position

    Which player has been your biggest let down

    AJ but I think he is readjusting to having to defend as well as attack

    Where does O'Neill rate with you. Has his stock gone up or gone down.

    pretty much the same altho the negativity sometimes pisses me off - we should be attacking the lower teams but going one up top against the top ones

    Good article this mate <ok>

    Which Sunderland player has impressed you most.

    Mignolet. IMO leagues best to date and still constantly improving. Rose obviously has been a close second.

    Which players have in your opinion improved.

    Gardner, mainly at RB, never rated him at all before, but there's a footballer in there, there's a very, very good RB in there.

    Which players in your opinion have gone backwards.

    Seb, he's been ****ing awful. Truly awful.

    Which player has been your biggest let down

    As above.

    Where does O'Neill rate with you. Has his stock gone up or gone down.

    Down if I'm brutally honest, as I expected a lot more from this season. He has kept his wits though and looks to be turning it around, this will be a great end of the season question.

    Fletch. He is a class footballer and natural goalscorer. Put him in a decent attack minded team and he's score 20 + maybe 30 +

    Which players have in your opinion improved.

    Rose knew nowt about him but hes the future England LB..... so he won't stay here!
    Existing players, probably Catts until his injury. He was beginning to look like the player we bought

    Which players in your opinion have gone backwards.

    Too early to say, probs Larson but he did OK yesterday

    Which player has been your biggest let down

    AJ but he's a class winger and will come good. He's just not used to our quality of srvice!

    Where does O'Neill rate with you. Has his stock gone up or gone down.

    Much the same. Can't judge him until he has the players he wants, he's mostly managing Bruce's players
    Maybe, just maybe we are the "NEW" Everton and slow starters?

    Whatever happens I will always regard MON as a man of honesty and integrity and I don't see anyone better with those qualities that would come to our club

    So half way through the season

    Which Sunderland player has impressed you most. Easy choice. Danny Rose (I already knew how good Fletcher was). This lad has been a revelation

    Which players have in your opinion improved. Mignolet. Good season last year but this season he looks every inch a top, top keeper now. Top 3 in the EPL imo.

    Which players in your opinion have gone backwards. Larsson and McClean. Both terrible for first 15 games. Both have stepped up mind in the last 2 or 3. Sadly, I am putting Bardo in there too as he has looked very shaky after his injury and I hope its just a temporary thing

    Which player has been your biggest let down? Johnson. He is still class and will come good but so much was expected of our expensive and potentially explosive winger but his imput has been minimal so far at times. However, like I say, he will come good and I'm not disappointed we got him.

    Where does O'Neill rate with you. Has his stock gone up or gone down. I feckin love the bloke. O'Neill is a bloody top manager and after wishing to get him for the best part of 15 years, I cant wait to see how he builds up our club in the coming seasons.

    The player that has impressed me the most - Mingolet
    Which players have improved - Mingolet has gone up a level from last year, GARDNER always puts in a shift and has quality, silly bookings though.
    Which players have gone backwards - O'shea no where near his form last year. McClean but he is coming good again. Larsson but he's in a new role, will take a season to adjust.
    Which player has been my biggest let down - Sess' just not enough from him and considering what he can do poor this term so far.
    O'Neill - Well we are seeing what he is made of in a tough run as well as a good run, he seems to have weathered the storm and so we can hopefully judge him on his team building. I echo what Makendan says about MON

    Fletcher, after all the hype about his fee, the lad is a revelation...

    Which players have in your opinion improved.

    Mig...Lad has the chance to be top drawer. Hope we hang onto him.

    Which players in your opinion have gone backwards.

    Sess, the little dynamo has been a bit flat, hopefully getting charged up..But i also believe that with all his talent he screws things up with the charade that he is a striker.

    Which player has been your biggest let down

    McClean..simple

    Where does O'Neill rate with you. Has his stock gone up or gone down.

    Down at the moment, not as in a MoN out way, just his stubborness is annoying.

    Fletcher, not keen when linked and when we bought him but, has surprised me.

    Which players have in your opinion improved.
    Mig, always thought he was our best keeper and he is improving all the time. All the doubters who gave him a bit of stick because his distribution was poor have faded a bit now.

    Which players in your opinion have gone backwards.
    Sess never was or never will be a forward.

    Which player has been your biggest let down
    Tough one here was chuffed when we signed AJ but, he hasn't got into his stride just yet so here's hoping 2013 sees him playing the way most think he can.

    Where does O'Neill rate with you. Has his stock gone up or gone down.
    Didn't want MON I thought Hughes would've been a better fit for us we'll never know. When he came I was fully behind him and after the stick he got on here and the media his stock has risen, he handled it knowing that he would get it right. I was wavering I admit but, like a few on here stuck with him and thought he would get there eventually it was close though.
