Aye playing with a bunch of kids. They’re obviously going to look better collectively and as individuals when playing with better players and when they have their collective fitness and an idea for how they want to play.

Funny how teams with far less ability can keep clean sheets and be above us then.

And clubs, with far less resources than us, are playing better, entertaining, football, than we are. (Oxford, Ipswich, Peterborough, Rochdale, Lincoln, Rotherham)

Who the fuck are you on about? This conversation was about Lincoln not Bolton

Sick of being shit on by a bunch of gimps telling me what my expectations should be.

We are in league 1 and getting outplayed by a bunch of piss poor sides. The football is abysmal and we are paying to watch it. If you can’t enjoy football in league 1 then fuck me sideways, might as well wrap it in. Bolton put their team together in literally a day of the transfer window and looked to have more quality than us. Embarrassing.

Sick of being told where we have came from 17 month ago too, they literally blew promotion with 8 games to go last season and also blew it in the play off final even though the other team kicked the ball in their own net.

Embarrassing someone is talking about expectations in league 1. Donald even said we were in a really good position to give it a really good go & we had to go up this year. His actions in the summer and by not sacking JR just say to me that’s a bunch of waffle. I’m supposed to lie here and take it because we are Sunderland and should be grateful to be afloat in league 1. This lad must be so up Ross’ hoop he can taste what he had for breakfast.

Agreed, i would say that goes for a lot of the media both traditional and Social, well in with the club, and well up the managers arse.

Blah blah blah. Barnsley had a new boss and signed more players than we did and went up 2nd.

Wait till ross goes and see how much we improve.

Then let's reassess who has a better squad. Absolute nonsense to suggest wycombes etc have a better squad than us.

I agree, will be interesting to see what happens. Loads said this about the fantastic squad Grayson had which was way too good to go down. Look I’ve had this discussion loads of times, but watch our players, what attributes do we have? Pace, no. Strength, no. We may have a bigger squad than most in numbers, but quality wise, not for me.

Well he has signed them so where does the blame lie if that’s true.
 
We may have a playing squad which is underachieving and can do better. We definitely have a manager who can't do any better. That's not unrealistic expectations that a fact.

Who mentioned fullbacks? I said squad. We do have the best squad by a mile. If not, you’ll be able to tell me what teams have a better squad


Think most our fans left by that point so doesn’t count 😂

I've asked this question several times on here and I'm still waiting for a reply.
