RIMBAUD

Just seen the goals. oh, Sean...

I came on here for the Cardiff disco they were singing about. Did it get cancelled?

Sunderland lost

Bishop was fairly brisk at times.

I went into the season with no expectation whatsoever. This was based on some rather dispiriting performances last season and an acknowledgement that we are in a transitional phase of our development. The league position we have attained has been excellent at times but it’s where we finish that is important. I really want us to be successful but I really don’t enjoy the way we play. Recent performances have made some people angry. I am merely overwhelmed with utter apathy.

Then you are no judge of football. We were second best all over the pitch.

You’re dead right. The games that peed me off under Pearson were the cup games early rounds against lesser opposition.

Is Palmer that good? vydra looks like he’s thrown the towel in.

Not defending either manager. I am thankful that we don’t have Pearson. And I don’t rate Rowett either. Both have served up dreadful football at least Rowett has won some games. (And some impressive wins at that - particularly away from home. )

Based on current form we would be headed for the trap door under Rowett.

No they weren’t. We lost to a better team and were poor in doing so the score line flattered us.

The fella in front of Lowe looks quite a decent player. I think he made the team of the year. So I would write him off just yet. He could do with a injury free run. He can’t be worse than Forsyth has been this season.

Complete the clear out. Get some energy into the squad. (Younger players?) Get some players who can play a bit (not just runners) and think more more about scoring rather than conceding.

Feels like the squad has run out of steam both mentally and physically.

I’m not sure they are. They are challenging it. The betting thing feels rather like **** waving. FWIW I would be delighted to see his predictions come true. I doubt they will.
