Every time I watched Will Grigg don a Sunderland shirt I saw a serious lack of effort for his pay packet, a serious lack of desire to excel in his profession, and a serious lack of respect to the owners, manager, and fans who paid his wages. He can go rot. He is not that good - in fact he is bang average. He will not do us damage. I have never been so angry or outspoken about a Sunderland player before - if Ive been disappointed I just kept my mouth shut. I don't think I ever commented on Rodwell...but Grigg!!!


Exactly, also he can't just turn his form on like a tap. It doesn't work like that.
He's not the player we signed, whatever he was??

It doesn’t feel like the last couple seasons, that’s the big thing.

Square pegs round holes, winning games we shouldn’t have. No plan B. We never really fully believed we were were we needed to be, even though we could have gotten there.

This feels different, feels like every step and move is planned and calculated.
 
We need to find a mentality, in the club, whereby we're not afraid of Rotherham ...

... or any other club in this stinking division.
I think we have though, I don't hear many of the supporters voicing concerns about the opposition, I don't get worried vibes about holding on to a 2-1 lead. I sense enjoyment, anticipation, and excitement at match days rather than dread and foreboding. I believe we are in a really good place and these next two seasons will be super exciting. FTM - they will be our main rivals next season
 
My predictions:

Grigg in last min permanent switch back to Wigan (free transfer)
Hoffmann to sign
Patterson to Shrewsbury on loan
Josh Key in shock last min switch from Exeter

My predictions

Grigg to leave on loan
Hoffman confirmed soon
A surprise right back

would love this but can only see one of the four happening :D
 
Thoughts on Diamond going on loan?

I’m personally not adverse to that. He just doesn’t look the same level Neil and Embleton are. Hopefully he can work to it and I think the loan will do him good
It's a chance for him to get some games under his belt and hopefully come back a better player. He's miles away from being able to challenge Gooch or McGeady so it makes sense

When he first broke into the squad, he looked really refreshing and clearly had pace, skill and a direct quality. However, he hasn't really kicked on and has sometimes looked lost after giving the ball away too many times. I still have hopes for him but a loan may do him good although another club might have given him better experience than Harrogate.
