I thought the team made little sense today. How gally didn't start after his performance Wednesday night. Would of liked to have seen Horgan given a start too. Steph also. Blame has to be at managers door today imo
 
In his post match interview he said that he’s the manager & he’s to be blame for today’s team or performance ( just can’t remember what he meant)

From what I can tell AN made two tactical errors yesterday - one was recalling Welsh who had only had about one day's training previously and is in any case I think now at the end of his useful time with us, the other was trying to use Johnson out wide where he is just not effective. He perhaps also made the more strategic mistake of trying to improvise a new formation when he had the players available to continue with the formation they are used to. It is easy to say in retrospect but the better choices would have been to have relied on the young legs of Pearson and Browne for general drive and to have added Gallagher to the team for his composure.

Having watched ineffective shite for 90 mins v Villa, you would have thought he'd get it right the next time.

His bouncebackability seems to need work.

Another listen to the expert advice thread.
All well and good but it makes no allowances for the fact that more than half the first choice selections are injured or suspended !!!
 
I m concerned that the initial euphoria will dissolve into mundane apathy from the fans. It looks as if we can’t select our desired staring 11 until well into the New Year , goodness knows what position we ll be in by then
- possibly a relegation battle.

I m not blaming anyone here but it’s effectively “ season over “ already as I see it.... which I guess is the mundane apathy I mentioned kicking in.

Did Sunderland not go up under Keane after being bottom at Christmas? This league throws up too many unexpected results for us to be out of it.

Maybe as regards going up automatically ( which was probably a pipe dream anyway ) eg Burnley grinding out results week in week out and staying on the pace.............. I'd like to compare us more with the Holloway gung ho approach that snuck them into the playoffs and that very same style ( knockout experts ) won them and saw the lashers promoted...That's the same type of football that got us the 21 points so we are capable of it and Neil is obviously capable of reproducing it with the right personel.............. Have faith, there's a long way to go.
