Expected from Smith

Well I missed that due to being un well and time of kick off ...thank xxxx ...so all last week's good work put to the sword and reality his here ! Not sure how the game went but I said last week we would need to protect bannan he got caught a few times against shite Plymouth and better teams would take advantage! Dr chose the same team we know he won't be doing that again against Leeds ..he tolerates little !!!

Thank god that's over.

Sunderland play Burnley next weekend so we shall see how good they actually are.

As for us, was it just a bad day or more of a concern going forward??

[St Charles Owl]

Ok, lets put that one behind us, nothing to be gained analyzing it. Let’s get back to the high press and pace that we know we have and work on the other aspects.

[Statesideowl]

It gets worse the more you see the goals replayed.
Windarse at fault for two definitely. That first goal shouldn't have even been a free kick. Sunderland always flop outside the box.

We need a midfielder at the minimum. Hopefully Chalobah can produce something earn fit but we still need another midfielder.


Today's performance was disgraceful.

He's going to have to make changes against Leeds and ugbo is the obvious change at the moment and maybe the lad from west brom has to step in for either musaba gassame or Windass with a tactical switch obviously! I think the back four you just have to hope they turn up on Friday because it's not helpful swapping and changing there pol or Marvin could come in I suppose ? but while he's solid enough I don't think ithiekwe is good enough! and please dont threaten me with Bambo ffs lol ...DR is not too down neither am I because I didn't get up at 5 to watch it let's try for a point against Leeds and keep the numbers ticking over , I'm sure he's learnt lessons from last year's game which seems like only yesterday !

Meltdown by Wednesday fans on social media in full swing!! This is what we are, this is where we are, we will win more than we lose at home, we will lose more than we win away. We were not the best team in the division last week and we are not the worst team in the division this week. We gifted them a 3-0 lead, mainly by Windass, had that Ingesson goal not been offside at 2-0 we might have seen a different outcome.

Never been a good hunting ground for us Sunderland new and old place so for me it was a 40/ 60 chance anyway no matter! I kind of hoped for a draw but there is nothing to get down about we have the best manager in the league and no matter how nice he is he won't tolerate players just turning up for a wage so the next game is a fresh start again unlike the other tripe managers we e had the last 40 odd years !

Again I just can't stress this enough ...my perfect season is to stay out of the bottom 3 and take 4pts of the pigs..and if I can be greedy and have a little facup Run I will be happy ! We have to remember this was Drs first real delve into the transfer window his first last season was all about fixing leaks with chewing gum and he actually fixed them better anyway with a base he's made stronger this summer ! We are at least 3 more transfer windows of what could be a promotion winning team he's going to need all of 2025 and the start of 2026 to do this !

Question did I miss a pig points deduction ? Did they lose 2pts ?

[Statesideowl]

Piggies started the season at -2pts

There needs to be a response to that performance at Leeds which is no small ask but if we're lucky enough they will still be wobbling.

I honestly hope Windarse received the hairdryer.

Some people said Windass was a close mom against Plymouth..I thought the first half he was shit tbh ? If his arrogance or confidence whatever you want to call it comes off then he's one of the best players in the league ..the switch side is when he has a stinker he really does play like one off the worst players in the league ! Think we will need him against Leeds because he gets stuck in and it is after all a Derby game ! Gassame or musaba would be my move aside for chabolah as if one of them doesn't turn up then we are exposed right from the off ! Again these two are either brilliant or shite they like Windass don't have a cruise control it's full speed ahead or in reverse ! All three have to become too inconsistent over the DR rain ...he knows this but he hasn't got that many options povada was one ...the new lad Podolski is going to be much work in progress before we can even decide in starting him from the off .
