Sorry lads
I see no green shoots at all. We are in a mess.
We have punted 18 signings, hit with 3 seemingly
Junior,vidi and maybe Bae
Awful awful hit rate. We look dead and buried to me. We rolled the dice and ended up going straight to jail.

There's a long way to go. Just need to get players back fit and beef up the defence in January and hope it's enough.
Hopefully we'll avoid the drop. I still think we're good enough to get 17th to 21st.

Our entire starting defence and starting attack are out injured.
How outrageous that we are not beating a team now 10 points clear of the play off places having won all but one game this season.

I don't like and have never liked AN, but to be fair with so many players out you can't really say we have seen the new players yet.
Hopefully second half of the season will be better, but I wouldn't be upset if he got sacked tonight.

We rolled the dice and ended up going straight to jail. Fml This group of players will look completely different under a better coach. The first thing a new man needs to do is drop Laurent and get Pearson and Burger playing as a double pivot with a genuine 10 (Bae or Haksabanovic) playing infront of them and go from there. Obviously we are very short at striker and CB but that can be rectified in January hopefully. If we can keep our heads above water until then I think we'll be ok |

It's not so much that we're not beating them. It's that we're not beating Huddersfield, Millwall, Norwich, Hull and Preston. |

I was going to say, this isn’t the metric I’d use 😂 It is bad but partly for the reasons you correctly mentioned |

Yes because we were doing that with a fit squad previously and was only today we were beaten, not in over half of our games in the last 12 months |

Not judging anything off today's result but the way we left both ends of the pitch, particularly at the back, woefully short at the end of the window has lead to this.

We rolled the dice and ended up going straight to jail. Fml I think there's been more than three, Burger has shown some good glimpses, Hak looks like he could be a good signing and Gooch has been useful and Pearson solid, whatever you think of the manager it's a bit early to be writing the players off (for the most part). |

But we had done the difficult part!! We had got to 70 minutes and were still in the game! THAT’S when we needed Neil to show some initiative, some ambition, and bring on Vidigal or Haks or even Gayle! Don’t just accept a 1-0 defeat, make a positive change and let’s see what happens! If they then score a second goal, so be it, but at least we would’ve had a go, ffs!! |

I do not think that fans are judging AN based on today, they are basing it on the last twelve months of his reign. He has the lowest win percentage of any manager since relegation and has lost over half of his games in charge here. Injuries happen to every team. However, our summer recruitment left us extremely light in defence and attack. We have three senior centre backs on the books and one left back. The defensive injury crisis is of our own making sprinkled with some bad luck. |

What's TP got to do with anything..... He's Marchy's yardstick who I was replying to. Marchy's yardstick is also his dislike for Michael Carrick - who's Middlesbrough side have now climbed above us into mid-table despite a extremely poor start to their season. |

It's not so much that we're not beating them. It's that we're not beating Huddersfield, Millwall, Norwich, Hull and Preston. The funny thing was the defence played better than usual today, Laurent had his best game, the other three all did well, it's centre midfield where we struggle to make anything happen Johnson has been woeful as an attacking midfielder, agree re forwards, it's a lot to expect from Lowe but he needs to learn and make more of chances like today. Leris is settling in OK and hopefully Vidigal will be fit for Sunderland but overall its not any better,possibly slightly worse than last season. |

I really don't know what came over AN endorsing US Jared and Tricky's drug addled summer trolley dash.
I thought the whole point of AN was that you got pragmatism and an old fashioned work ethic. You put up with him being a miserable, punchy bugger because these are good attributes to have.
It seems to me that somehow he has allowed himself to be seduced by Jared's dark good looks and Tricky's middle management psycho-babble.
Strangest damn thing I've ever seen.

We’re definitely in trouble.
And it’s more concerning because if, as seems increasingly likely, Neil gets the boot…..what the fuck do we do with the staff and players he’s introduced. Which is approx 90% of our staff.
All the signs of relegation unfortunately.

We need him to somehow make this work or we are down.  |
