Are you sure it wasn't you?  It does sound like something you'd say.

It’s inevitable that it was TJ 😂

Glover 100% at fault for the 1st goal imo, though Clarke should have just cleared his lines. Looks like he was caught in 2 minds to play a pass or get it out, annoyingly just a couple of yards further on the clearance and they wouldn’t have scored. Either way it was a fanny of a shot and glover should have stopped it, at least the Sunderland goal had a bit of power on it.

Their 2nd was just ridiculous luck, if he’d of tried to pass to the guy making the run he couldn’t have played it anymore perfect. 
 

Judging our defending off them goals is just pointless imo, keeper error and luck won them the game. The only good bit of play in their goals was the touch on the first goal to get the ball under control and beat the defender.

Seasons over but I do feel we will go on a run after the international break once everyone's back fit. We will fall short by about 8 to 10pts imo and lack of goals will cost us which we all knew at the start of the season would cost us

I was concerned straight after 31st August when the window shut.

Can't understand the frustration towards Scott when he's just made us significant profit on a 6month signing

On paper next season

                 Dieng

New rb  vdb  fry/lenihhan  bangura

    New Defensive cm   hackeney

Jones/forss   azaz    new attacker

      Lath/New striker

I don't think a massive rebuild is required but we need at least 4 quality signings in the above positions.

 

 

 

We need those 4 positions as an absolute minimum, problem is that we also need back up in those 4 positions meaning 8 players. Plus if we can't improve our record with injuries we need more still to cover in other positions unless someone/s step up in the dregs of this season.

Who said we were chasing promotion?

Carrick said he wanted automatic promotion that was the aim so we are way way off

Since the Rotherham away game we have been shocking  in the final third. Greenwood must have played 10 matches as a striker now and he is clearly not good enough up front. Surely Hoppe is worth a punt rather than persisting with Greenwood. Forss routinely being played out of position on the wing. It was understandable when we had the likes of Archer up front as he was ahead of Forss in quality. But now we have limited options surely Forss is better suited up front. 
 

For Leicester and going forward I’d like to see this starting 11.

             Dieng 

Djiksteel VdB Clarke Thomas

     Hackney Howson

 Greenwood Azaz McGree

            Forss 

 

I really hope that Carrick clicks onto the fact our weak as *** midfield is never going to get us promotion. We need someone who can cover the ground well, see danger and play it simple. He doesn't need to be Iniesta on the ball. The most frustrating thing is he wouldn't even lose much if anything in a attacking sense as you currently have Howson doing zip at either end. 

Van Den Berg is our only consistent 8 or 9 out of 10 performer every week this season. Especially since he moved into cb. The rest haven’t been near good enough. You can blame injuries to some degree but the league table is a fair reflection of our performances. Big summer is needed from the recruitment team!

He wasn't anywhere near an 8 or a 9 tonight.

He shares the blame with Howson and Poppadom for the opening goal.

I Think Gibson needs to let go if we are going to progress as a club, we had 15 years of continuing decline aside from 2 season of brief revival under karanka. We can't keep that back 4, keep Carrick playing style and get promotion unless you have unbelievable for the championship striking line like last season. So either you get that forward line or get rid of Carrick or accept championship football is as high as we can get or get defence that's capable of doing it. 2 of them options need proper investment or to strike lucky with loans.

I’d play him RB vs our other options there. He was doing well there too and looks composed on the ball

He's getting snappier and snappier with interviews lately, not that it's particularly surprising as we've been absolutely dogshit for over a month and he'll be starting to feel a bit of pressure.

Didn’t sound that snappy to me.  Just a bit disappointed with how the result went

He sounded like a daft Geordie bugger who doesn't know what his best team is to me.

I’m glad that you can see that we need Pulis back CT. Thanks for the support. I’m fairly sure that @Neverbeforewill be on board shortly 👌
