Haven't seen the interview yet, so difficult to comment just hope it's not kind words and platitudes and that he does actually try using some of the kids. He did do so in the cup competitions to an extent but seemed loathe to do it in the league until he almost had to. I can understand a manager going with senior pros it's the safe choice I just think we need to be a little braver
What was that famous comment again... you don't win anything with kids
100% this, even if hed gone with the senior players like he did, once we blew auto promotion as good as guaranteed playoffs so not even really a risk giving them a try.
not convinced by johnson, hes let some of our young players down.
no disrespect to the likes of younger dan neil, but if they cant get in a crap safc side at league 1 level their not gunna make it here.
been crying out for a CD so 09s energy could go into midfield, look at yesterday 2 midfielders in defence the at one point 3. so if younger at age 21 cant get a place now hes no chance.
our midfield has been ****, weak as piss, again same as above if neil cant get games now.
theres 2 things here from those & likely few more young lads, there never gunna be good enough for sunderland? or johnson has held them back not giving them a go?
what was to be lost giving them a go, nowt. appreciate long time ago bit denis smith walked us out of this division simply recognising it took a blend of senior pros & young lads with energy....have we not already got that now just failed to see & use.
fuxking shambles we fell apart soon as Lincoln.....fuxkng Lincoln attacked us!!!!
big clear out needed, although be very disappointed if 09 goes as his sort of energy & attitude will take us up
anway rant over.....still renewed for next season, felt weird being back yesterday...typical sunderland to let you down when you think were back on
KTF...sunderland till i die
