There's no reason for social media meltdown but it was a terrible performance with individual errors proving extremely costly.
There's a lot for Rohl to be going over this week.
Musaba was poor today, Gassama less error prone out of the two. I'd drop him for Chalobah, if he's match fit.
Windarse, an absolute shocker today and might as well have played in a Sunderland shirt.
SKY screw us again as we have 5 days before we play again. Leeds players are resting today.

What a difference in manager characteristics - no wonder he is well liked by the players.
WR last week the players were sh**.
DR post match interview today - its down to ME and we will all learn from it as a team. The players are angry about it too and will move on and prepare for the next game (but of course he still might give them a rollicking tomorrow when they get to see the game back)

After watching the highlights of the goals what the f@ck was Bernard and iorfa doing in sandals ffs ..talk about having a day off ! The marking by Valera from the free kick was also sandals stuff ..really lazy defending today I'm afraid. Maybe we do need a shake up at center back against Leeds ?

Dr said what I feared before the hammering ...I'm lost in the construction world really ! Anyway he said we played too much in the 6 position (Bannan exposed in other words ) we did this against Plymouth and got away with it 2 or 3 goals playing a quality team when Bannan made his mistakes this day Plymouth had the second touch of an elephant high on lighter fluid ! Sunderland didn't !!! I expect changes both to the team and tactically against Leeds from DR I don't think we will see quite an entertaining game on Friday he's also mentioned the word nasty so that also drops some players straight away !! It also says Ugbo starts for sure .

DR trying to be zen about the hammering. Saying we shouldn't get carried away when we win and don't be too negative when we lose.
Anyone that believes this squad is a top six contender is out of their minds, so meltdown is unreasonable even by my standards.
The manner in which we lost was horrible but the season isn't over after two games.
We will finish mid-table with this squad, and must continue to build in the same manner we have during this transfer window. 24yrs out of the promised land and we're all desperate for overnight success.. Chansiri tried that to be fair to him.
Pissed millions away on dross has beens as middle men like Paixao loaded their pockets.. How many defenders did we sign over those few seasons? Players like Daryl Lachman.
It crippled us for years after.

Exactly but the meltdown is from the younger generation who are mostly retarded .

As I said the other day, if we had won 2-1 and then lost 2-1, we would have all taken that and there would be no drama around either result. Being top of the table for one week was a nice bonus but despite what DR might allude to, mid table is our starting goal this season. If it goes well we might have a sniff of the POs and that would be great but it should not be the expectation at this stage.
Does anyone know if Chalobah is fit, I can see him coming in to the midfield and making it a three instead of a two, question then would be is it Windass or Gassama who misses out? Ugbo will certainly play IMO.

After the last performance, Windarse can sit on his arse.
Not heard anything about Chalobah but if he didn't even make the bench against Sunderland its unlikely he'll be starting against Leeds.
I have high hopes for him and really hope we're the Club where he finds himself again..
Unfortunately, that's the same Kool Aid every other Club drank

You have to play Windass in a derby game he will bite and scratch ...he could also score when least expected like he's done in many big games . Chabolah was fit but didn't make the team.i suspect he'll be on the bench. Gassame or Musaba will sit out with Lowe and possibly one of the full backs will lose there spot to either Marven or Pol .
