We're not better than Rotherham and we're in a similar situation to Wigan with the turnover of players. Wycombe have maintained their squad from the championship.

It's a competitive league. What exactly do you expect? That we run away with the league?

Some realism needs to be instilled into fans like yourself.

You don't sack a coach with a quarter of the season to go and you're in 3rd place.

It's totally derailed us and will probably cost us promotion.

Johnson's aim was promotion and he was on course to possibly achieve that.

Now we'll never know because the board and sporting director are clueless.

I agree with all of that, although in January they put us back on top of budget so they should win the league if the recruitment did their job properly.

I honestly wonder what the fuck is going on behind the scenes?

Nee one wants to manage us
We sacked Johnson one day before the deadline
We've let first 11 players go and not replaced them (Flanagan)
Hoffmann had apparently had enough and gone off back to Germany, leaving us with an U23 keeper and no sub on the bench tonight.

What is going on?

That’s not true, KLD said we have interest from all over the world! Why would he lie…

What do I expect? Us to be closer than f***ing 17 points off the leaders when you factor in the games in hand. I don’t think that’s massively unreasonable. We are absolutely pathetic .

Sacking the manager hasn’t derailed us at all. Johnson derailed us in November when we lost 3 games back to back then. Should have been sacked after the Pompey game. Not hiring a new manager has derailed us

Rotherham are the best team in the league by far.

There isn't much between Wigan, us, Wycombe, Sheff Wed, Ipswich, MK Dons and Oxford.

Our players are not as good as we think they are yet some fans always over hype them simply because they are playing for Sunderland.
 
They e all fecked us over. Wouldn’t tell us who owns what.
Bunch of chancers all of them. Speakman with his fancy jargon was supposed to impress us…….
He’s their shield but he is Feckin useless.
What a mess.
I shouldn’t say this but I will.
If Roy Keane signs up with this lot I’ll eat hay with a donkey.
It isn’t happening.

Our squad is massively underperforming. I don’t buy that with a decent manager this team couldn’t have outperformed Rotherham. We aren’t great but Jesus there’s some shite teams in this league.

Besides, we only need to finish 2nd anyway.

LJ and subsequently Dodds have been absolutely horrific and now our season is over in February.
 
Young and inexperienced most likely, he might have done ok on the football manager game but not running a real club. Huge mistakes have been made that has cost us, hard to take right now.

Should win the league? Money doesn't buy you success. It helps bit there are many more factors to it than just money.

Hire Keane, sack Speakman, and get organised for the play-offs. That's our target now, and Keane can do it.

The recruitment and dof setup is there to create value, should they create value from the largest budget, they should win the league.
