I'm thinking Speakman isn't the answer

The only hope I've got now is that the new coach can sort our defence out. If he can we have a chance in the playoffs, if he can't our season is over.
It's a poor excuse for failure imo.

It was a clear goal but that's the way this match has gone.

38k, new signings not played until far too late and Defoe giving an underwhelming return whilst we couldn’t score against bottom of the league Doncaster with a -35 goal difference.
You can start with the academy but you need to take years to get the philosophy to every level of the team as the younger players come through. We are in the 3rd division and don’t have that luxury without killing the game for us. We can’t continue to play at this level. It is not sustainable.
If I was a manager l, I wouldn’t accept Speakman making the calls when he has little experience and doesn’t take the heat.
No different to other appointments that we have made. Most of the players brought in are young players on loan. This is Sunderland FFS.

i think its simply that the first team is an area with its own budget, the academy a different area with its own budget etc..and speakman aportions his time between all of them on that basis

For me it's already over, these can't handle the pressure and will fall at the last hurdle in playoffs

Chase the lot of these, getting bits of kids on the cheap, we won’t make the play offs

I suspect it works when the protagonists know what they're doing. We keep appointing people who seemingly don't know what they're doing
Forget automatics, long gone, but we could even drop out the play offs if the next appointment isn't right

We had an opportunity today to repeat the attendance, we’ve blown that now.
