Not sure heads fell off the best use of language considering. Well. You know.
Don’t think there’s been a funnier win. Their heads fell off before we turned up.
Then the smallest team I’ve ever seen thought they’d kick us off the pitch.
Then their manager continued to try and play out from the back
Perfect

Reasons to be hopeful for tonight:
In Alex Neil’s 16 games in charge we have only conceded 2 goals in a game twice.
In the three games we’ve failed to score in under Alex Neil we have also kept clean sheets.
We’re quite good under Alex Neil.

A sackable result. You can’t defend it. Stop accepting this shite from the LinkedIn brigade at the club. Results are paramount. Promotion is paramount and has been since we got relegated to the third tier. Long term plans begin in the Championship, not in League One

This may be controversial, but so many comments saying that what is going on tonight ‘isn’t our city’. But at what point will it be acknowledged that there’s an element of the city that is? And if we acknowledge it we might be able to do something about it.

On a serious note, there will still be people out there defending this and trying to explain to you that this is all actually acceptable. We haven’t had a lead at home in three months. No manager. Squad not fit for purpose. 2nd worst team in the league in form. Indefensible

Give this manager 4 or 5 players and we’ll be looking top half. All you need to do is compete in games and give yourselves a chance. At top level football in recent times we’ve not done that. Just give this manager the players please

Cirkin absolutely class second half. Brave at both ends. Simple change of shape from Mowbray seemed to get us back into our groove with the ball. Pritchard looked like his old self. Roberts had his best game for us too I felt

Absolute dross from

When we sell Stewart the narrative will be that he’s greedy and is only in it for the money etc. Especially if we sell him to a club in the same division. Reality is he’s a walking dollar sign in the clubs eyes and they aren’t interested in giving him a reasonable contract.

Mepham looks a good signing on paper. The midfielder from France too. We really do need that striker though. “We tried”, “Wilson is a striker” and “Jobe can play up front” won’t cut it as excuses for missing out imo. 3 and half hours to go though, fingers crossed

Of the options presented, I’d go with Alex Neil I think. He’s been working in League One and he’s got promotions on his CV. Still young. Preston spell not great but that can happen I guess. Plus, he’s not the other options which is another tick in the box I guess

We’ve probably been, over 90 minutes, better than in some of the games we’ve won this season. Again feels like a case of if we’ve got an out an out striker on the pitch we win the game. If we have VAR we probably win the game. Still a lot to admire in this

Don’t really care how ‘good’ the fee is for Stewart. Will it be reinvested? And if it is reinvested is it not bad because spending money on players is bad because Will Grigg? We are significantly weaker than last year and actively attempting to sell our best players

Meanwhile we have our first competitive game for 6 months in two and a half weeks, we’ve got the weakest squad we’ve had since our relegation to this level and we’ve not played a proper friendly yet. We have no recruitment team and seemingly no plan B RE the salary cap.
We now have a situation where a clip from a radio show is being spread around social media, helping whip fans into a frenzy, and the journalist involved in the story has confirmed they were merely commenting on a rumour started on social media. This whole episode is a shambles.

It’s ultimately more concerning that he was involved in the interview process for our new manager. All the ‘well he has a x% stake’ brigade need to switch on. Especially considering it was not even his money which he invested.
The Club needs to realise that Methven attending away games and sitting with club employees/board members is a slap in the face for many fans. Just before he had to resign from any official role, he was condescending, patronisng and ignorant towards Sunderland supporters.
