Did the 'they need time to gel' bollox get booted with AN? Just checking before it gets rolled out again. Hopefully Tricky and Slicky are working around the clock now until the end of the window to get us the two or three difference makers.

Get your fingers out of your arse and sign us at least one CB who can defend first and foremost, and a striker who can play in the lone striker role. Otherwise this season could get ugly, very quickly. 18 players signed and only a few look ok. Failed, again. Those 2 positions an absolute must - also need at least one viable left-sided defender - totally unacceptable to end the window with a square peg as our only option in that position(exposed massively today)

We may have one eye on the summer transfer wise, but unless we concentrate on the here and now this next few days we could easily go down. We need to admit it rather than float around like we are doing.

Incredible that some said the other day that Souttar would be a bad signing Yes.. why would we need a commanding 6-5 centre half who can dominating in the air and play a pass and have experience of this division. Madness.

How have we collected so many players who can't put the ball in the net. Every time we cart one off, we spend money on another who also can't put the ball on the net. Buy cheap, buy twice.

In one of his post match interviews (on the OS I think) Schumacher said something like we need better quality up top, if not we'll have to go with what we've got. I hope that's just him playing down expectations rather than Tricky and Yankee Google Dandy haven't got anything lined up.

Not sure if that's aimed at me. We absolutely needed the rebuild in the summer, but after August it was evident the majority of the signings weren't good enough. We desperately needed sort the defence out yet Slick Jared and Tricky Ricky were too busy buying us cultural architects who can't score or defend. They've done a terrible job with signings, let's be honest. This week they need pull a few rabbits out of the hat, players who can make a difference now. I have little confidence they will. I don’t know what you mean aimed at you? I’m saying loads on here were football experts in the summer and giving us all their knowledge on each signing saying how good they were, when chances are they had no knowledge of them themselves. Of course we needed a rebuild in the summer and some are no doubt decent players when on form, but if we’re linked again with someone foreign player from god knows where, let’s just keep it at that without telling the rest of us he’s mint and getting our hopes up Ah sorry I misunderstood.

A message to fans on here. Stop either pretending you know a player we’re linked with and you’ve never heard of like the rest of us and saying we must sign him and how wonderful he is, or if you have heard of him own your mistake as well. I’d never heard of hardly any of our summer signings, yet when I logged on here all I saw was get him he’s ace. I thought by the end of the window we were going be running away with the league by the knowledge of this message board. Isn’t it always the same though. At the start(get-go?) of each season, I'm always confident that we'll win the first game at least 4-0 and be promoted by the end of January at the latest.Down to the amazing recruitment performed during the transfer-season. Of course there is a rude awakening when reality inevitably sets in half way through the second game of that particular season. And as the saying goes 'Rinse and Repeat'.

It won't happen but, we need a CB, LB and I would certainly be asking about Pritchard and Keiffer Moore.....Hoever and Haks sent back or told they may not be in the squad. Pritchard .really? The kind of player we need to keep well clear of

Our "summer reset" is looking more and more like a complete shambles with every week.
Only Burger, Junior, Jun-Ho and (to a limited extent) Vidigal have really had any kind of positive impact on our season. I would probably add Gooch onto that list as well.
That pretty much tells you everything you need to know.
Our central defenders are average at best and we only have one senior left back at the club. We have looked extremely poor defensively in the last couple of games. At the other end of the pitch we have very limited creativity and no one capable of scoring goals on a regular (or even semi-regular) basis.
We cleared out lots of deadwood in the summer and managed to replace them with morr deadwood.

Our recruitment team should look at what Sunderland do with far less money.
It's embarrassing tbh. Year on year the same story.
Last summer nearly everyone on here was concerned about what we did with centre back and striker positions, we've all been proven right.

The kind of player we should be avoiding for me

I hope he settles in and proves us wrong. But the point I was making was it’s unlikely the manager would bring Pritchard in to play in the same role as Cundle who he obviously rates highly.

Same style of play, same stature, same outcomes. We will bring in two players if we’re lucky and people need to calm the fuck down. This season is about staying up which we should do easily and then going from there. I’m not sure what the fuck people are expecting.

Of the CBs I think that McNally is the worst on recent showings in the case of Rose and Wilmott I don’t think they’re that bad but together they’re just to weak as a pairing. The way Rose got beaten to the ball for the first was really poor. One of them needs a big bruiser in the mould of Huth, Ryan or Schtaniuk next to them. Then they’d be a lot better. Someone like Lascelles or similar would be perfect or Cresswell.

A win yesterday would have meant a pretty damn good start under the new manager (12/21). As it was, we had an inevitable collapse, which was going to happen at some stage and it’s hardly like Sunderland are rubbish. We’ll be fine without being brilliant. Yesterday might be a wake up call for him that all isn’t rosy and where the difficulties lay, and have laid, for managers who have gone before him. But there’s no need to be too unhinged about it.

Please have another good summer window where you sign 3 players who will be worth £10m+ when we sell them so long as we manage them well.
