  1. you''ve got a long list there, some i agree with, some I dont. But given that some of them have been playing so poorly its going to be hard to actually get rid of them now. I woulndt be sad to see the back of Jarvis/Thorne/Henderson/Robinson/Doc/Fleming/WLY but who is realistically going to want to buy them?

  2. In terms of the ''big club/small club'' I couldnt agree more - Norwich are a top of the Championship side. That''s not to say that we shouldnt aim higher...

    The next month is going to be tricky but thanks to the board''s inability to get rid of Worthington before this season (or the August transfer window) I think that this season is going to be one of change - potentially a wasted one. Lets see what grant can manage over the enxt six months


  3. do you know what i couldnt agree more, but it will need a combination of a bit of luck and decent players where you have stated ''new players''/ i think people need to see a bit of reality and as much as a legend as hucks is had he performed in the last few games? his one weapon is pace and it is fading.but we do have the backbone. keep earnshaw for next season and i wonder... dont forget we''ve got chadwick too

  4. Usually its corners that dont clear the first man that get on my nerves, but today it was Colin and Drury managing to lose possession every time we had a throw in. Rarely seemed to happen when Sunderland had a throw in. The others need to learn to move around to give space and then how to pass it back to the thrower......

  5. Camp - very impressive apart from a couple of dodgy clearances

    Colin - poor, someone tell him how to do throw ins

    Shackell/Dublin - couple of schoolboy blunders but good, particularly Dublin

    Drury - average

    Hughes - decent game, would prefer Chadwick though

    Robinson - average, as was Etuhu. Had five men in midfield and yet still Sunderland always seemed to come away with it

    Huckerby - poor, didnt do a lot

    Earnshaw - poor sod, no service, no chance. the best striker in the division and he''s being wasted

     

    Though eagle showed he can put a decent ball in when he came on too


  6. Citizen Journalist Foghorn, perhaps if you were at the game you would now precisely what was going wrong, not the fact that tinkering meant we lost today. Murphy''s goal was top top drawer. Fine, we werent great but there were decent spells. Also in relation to the statistics of shots. Other than the goal Sunderland had one decent decent effort (great save from Camp at the beginning of the second half). Otherwise neither keeper was troubled. I dont get to too many games but you realise how different it is to the bbc live text service, so give the ''Grant is the antichrist'' thing a break

  7. We are a ''smaller club'' in terms of support in England, but not compared to Europe. Simple as that. There is far more support for all clubs in England compared to somewhere like Italy. The small club mentality is irritating, we certainly arent a ''small'' club but relative to the rest of the country we are not a ''big'' club either...


  8. I can''t agree. Drury put in a fair amount of tackles and by comparing him to Chadwick you are comapring him to the player who put in most effort today. Fine, Drury should too, but there are others who you should pick on first

    The first goal was created from a lucky deflection to put the two young Ipswich players in the box - fine there was hesitation but I''d rather he didnt dive in while in the box - before some slick passing and Shackell wrong footing himself. The second Colin could and should have got to the ball before Haynes
