Mowbray


His recent interviews have given the players the excuse to get away with being shite. Down playing them, suggesting they’ve done enough and won’t do much more

I was all for signing a striker in January, but would you really want someone like that man.

He plays about 7 games a season and is as far away from the professional standard setter we need as you can get

Do I really want a centre forward instead of a midget midfielder playing up front? Yes.

Do I really want a centre forward instead of throwing Aji Alese up front because he’s tall?
Yes.

Signing Wickham would have been a recruitment failure. But not signing anyone at all is utterly inexplicable.
 
I openly posted I did t want him.


I also openly admitted he’s done better than I imagined .

For me I’d let him go end of season like.

He’s kept us up job done .
 
The changes at HT were very silly imo. Putting Diallo or Pritchard central up front just doesn’t work.

Also, O’Nien is not comfortable at all at LB.
 
The main worry is that from his previous clubs we were warned that results tail off after Christmas. Maybe with the World Cup break it hasn’t started until February here?

His hands have been tied with the lack of recruitment but he made some obvious errors in selection today and there is no excuse for the lack of aggression/pressing/professionalism.

Why have a coherent tactical plan when you can just make random subs and shuffle players about with absolutely no logic behind it

It’s always from Feb anyway. Last 4 seasons he’s won a max of 2 games in Feb/March and max 5 from Feb till end of season.

Nowt fickle about it, plaudits when you do it correctly, grief when you don’t.
He’s getting a lot of grief recently and doesn’t know how to change it.

His options are limited striker wise, but losing to Rotherham and Coventry, then Stoke at home after blowing a lead in the 93rd minute against Bristol City suggests that theres weaknesses all over the team that he cant plug

Gonna be a flat end to the season. Wouldn’t surprise me if he left at the end.

Mowbray blooded the kids, he has kept Sunderland around mid table (could have been better with a CF in the window) however, time to move on at the end of the season If Sunderland have promotion ambitions.
