just read the article,while he`s right about sunderland being a massive club,as usual he`s blowing smoke up his own ****,business as usual last week against middlesborough,taking off their best player pritchard and having players out of position after an hour,the mackems won`t stand for it unlike the sheep at ewood who thought he was the second coming

a holding midfielder is imperative,as is keeping a shape,i`ll be changing my opinion of jdt if he does`nt start to adapt to changing situations,we had five years of the other bloke struggling to make tactical changes

i beg to differ,giving the ball away has seen us get beaten badly against sides we should be beating,especially as we currently commit to many players forwards without the killer pass,do that against sarr and jao pedro and the game will be over before 20 minutes,not a matter of defending better more a case of not giving the ball away

the week after the cup final triumph we played southampton and he started and scored,he looked a very capable player,sadly for whatever reason he faded out of the picture and went back to spain

i did`nt knw that,he can only have been in his late 50`s??,very sad r.i.p

top half if jdt gets streetwise and realises this league is very competetive bottom five if he continues to use the current formation,as it stands we`ve been sussed out

was that his one and only appearance,i can recall the game,he was inspired,like a human wall

anyone remember kevin stonehouse??!!

going to have to play deeper,sarr and jao pedro are miles ahead of anyone in the division striker wise,you can`t give them any space or we will be seriously embarrased

who`s mike keegan?????

liked a good bet on the horses did queen lizzy,she`d be going barmy if they cancelled the horse racing this saturday,sure she`d have wanted the show to go on

then get a fixture pile up and get more injures playing 3 games a week

when mola goes swimming he does`nt get wet the water gets molad when mola got coronvirus,the virus had to isolate instead of him

simon vukjevic,looked as if he would rather walk down the m65 in rush hour than play football

im`e right behind him but we can`t carry on losing games we should`nt because his formation does`nt work against the better sides in the division

don`t think it was him,formica was a good player who used to put a good shift in he was just a bit lightweight for english football

anyone remember the porgugeezers diogo rosado fabio nunes paolo jorge edinho junior nuno goncalves nuno gomes(class player in his prime,pity we got him when his legs had gone) can`t remember who it was but one of the portugal mob had an abscess on his tooth and would`nt play until rovers had paid for his dental work!!!!!!

he`s not good enough,no matter where you put him he`s not up to this level of football,i was very surprised brown went out on loan and not jrc

manager of blythe spartans

bernard gallagher,full back on loan from aston villa,dodgy doug ellis tried to pull a fast one and offered him at a knockdown price,turned out he had two dodgy knees,only played about four games i think

not sure about this sunderland job,they don`t even have a flag with me on it

hopefully he`ll look at the game and the reading,sheff utd and stoke games and see this formation is a recipe for defeats in the extremely competetive championship,jdt comes across as intelligent and proactive so iv`e no doubt he`ll find another team shape that stops the opposition running right through our midfield,it`s not as if bristol city played us off the park,we gave them so much room any decent side in the division would have exploited it

surely it would easier for security and the police to give us the whole of the decrepit cricket field stand,it`s going to kick off big style otherwise,plenty of idiots on both sides

hopefully jdt realises we can`t carry on playing this formation and tightens us up,i put wigan a worse side than blackpool but more physical,we need to stand up to them,earn the right to play and then set about them,im`e going for an optimistic 1-3,dack,hirst and a thumping header from a set piece

harper now turning out for exeter,came with a lot of hype,after his first game at rochdale,it was clear he was bobbins continuing with forgotten players john lowey,sadly no longer with us
