I know most of these are lowes players …you sure there even feckin trying or what because that first half looked like they couldn’t care less absolutely dreadful

which is why it rarely works hiring the assistant to the former manager.

he wernt my first choice temporary while holding the ship yeah but full time basis absolutely bonkers ..cos if he can’t get us out of this run what then then there gotta sack him as well

I made this point the day he was appointed the club should have just announced that Schuey was taking control and if it worked out he could have been offered the job full time later on. Maybe he would have gone with Lowe if he didn't get the gig but I still think it was a bonkers move by Si.

i feel he has to be on that kind of deal. In charge for the rest of the season and a longer contract offered if he has done well during that time, because there is no way the board would go full metal jacket with appointing Schumacher like they did without there being somekind of trial period it wouldnt make any buisness sense.


2-1 now Scarr

Let's see where we are at the end of the season.

where are the knives?

What Knives, where?

What knives ?

Knives you say ! What knives

4 strikers on :O certainly trying to force a 2nd goal.

oh well we lost 2-1

sounds as if we improved in the second half to make a game of it but it wasnt to be.

4 defeats in 5 and could be out of the playoff spots as well now

Just one point and no win in five. Shoes On.

Sorry, it's just Angry living up (or down) to his name

Oh well, blown away in first ten minutes, otherwise much better second half, apart from missed chances and Cooper mistake.
Came close to getting a point deserved or not.
Gillesphy clearly a weak link in defence.
The radio Devon com didn't pull any punches.

All very well having all this possession but we never do anything with it

I think it's safe to say we are ultra shite again. I hope Hallett has a plan B on the manager front or we could well be sucked into the L1 relegation battle around March/April time.

Hope Hallett is prepared to back Schumacher in a few weeks.

10 goals conceded in 5 games since Galloways absence on international duty and injury. Not good and that was/would have been the case under Lowe's management as well-even though doubts exist in my mind about the wisdom of Schueys appointment, pretty unfair to say that any other decision would have affected the result today.

Only Freathy blaming Schumaker the rest of the problems are inherited. To be fair Sunderland are a better team end of.

3 games in 7days all away, won one, drew one, lost one, manager gone, new manager in, yep there some deficiencies that need sorting but I think we need to cut them some slack for this week.

The first half was a hard watch but at least Schuey is prepared ti throw on strikers to try and score.

Galloway needs replacing with someone of equal ability.

What's puzzling me is why Broom at LWB
Law can play there,
Cooper to some extent can play there too.

Gillesphy is a major weak link.

We need at least a couple CB next month.

We should look after Galloway but not sure we should offer him a deal till he proves his fitness

We need to get beyond signing injury prone players.

Like your Church, McLeod etc.

This week is gonna be a big week on the training ground

There's alot of work to do.

The possession stats are slightly lying to us.
Cause teams are happy to let us mess around with it at the back.

Cause we don't pose any threat.

We can't just do the previous encumbants style of football.

This has to be Schumacher's brand of football.

If we don't get it right it could cost us dearly.

A top half finish is about the best we will get this season.
