To be fair, there was always a chance that could have happened. Turns out though that a lot of negative assumptions were wrong.
Le Bris isn’t a know nowt ingenue with his head up Speakman’s backside. He has developed a system that gets the best out of the squad and is exciting to watch.
We aren’t a one man show. ( well not on today’s showing)
Getting Rigg and Jobe on long term deals was nearly as important as making new signings.
Browne isn’t shit because he came on a free.
Mayenda has got something about him.
O Nien can play Centre half really quite well.
Last seasons shit show increasingly seems to have been due to lack lustre coaching rather than lack of talent.
The leadership are accountable for last season’s dross.
Maybe the leadership can learn from last season’s experience….
Optimism isn’t always naive
And optimists aren’t cucks as one charming poster suggested earlier today.( well not all of them)

There’s always a chance of pretty much anything. The lad wanted to play Cassandra, he’s earned his smilies.

For now

We're yet to concede a goal this campaign and on that basis were really are going to win the league, or this is what's called in gambling a hot hand and the clappers have convinced themselves it can never end the good times. Most of the anger, resentment and hatred towards what are deemed the negative fans is risible, come the less good times.

Last seasons shit show was the reverse of this one i.e. confidence breeds confidence and for now were full of it. When we hit peak over confidence and reality bites the younger players will suddenly look around for something to lean upon and a team of young players turn from a team to a gaggle of individuals.

True, but that leadership is still in charge !

I'm enjoying the moment but unlike many, I am simply sanguine enough to accept the world isn't pixies, sugary treats and unicorns. My trust for our leadership is sub zero and come January and were 10 points clear I will enjoy the show, but still believe this lot are wrong for the club and will lead us into the abyss someday.

I don’t believe in pixies sugary treats and unicorns but I do like jelly babies.
I also think mistakes get made and can be learned from. Obviously the proof is in the pudding and we still need signings. We’ll see at the end of the season whether the ownership gave done a good or bad job in 24/25.
I don’t feel anger hatred or resentment to any fellow fans. Nor do I think optimistic fans are cucks.
But I am a little ray of sunshine compared to you I think…..
 
Tbf nobody in their right mind would have dared to believe we'd start the season like this.

Ahem, I've read my post in this thread which just reiterates what I say quite often, is that I know nowt 😁

True im the sort of guy who only accepts apologies when i believe the apology is sincere and i despise the sunderland mgmt team, but not at all affected my faculties and enjoyed the season so far, just as much as you ! What you call optimistic fans, does exist a bitter element who project all the failure onto fellow fans... Come a sequence of poor results, the fault will all be dumped on people like me and in truth i just want excellence and success, but willing to be honest.

Well I’m sure we can both agree that fans have virtually no impact on whether the team ultimately succeeds. That’s down to recruitment and coaching.
I see signs of improvement on both fronts-albeit still work to be done.
If the season turns to shit I certainly won’t be ascribing any degree of blame to pessimistic fans.

Totally agree with you on improvements and also echo your last. My sense is the new manager has done something to that team and three games without conceding a goal, is a pretty amazing turnaround, at the same time as were looking dangerous going the other way.

The problem with internecine warfare is its even more negative and your average happy clapper seems to revel in scoring points and that's a problem with them and a serious root cause problem with the club, as well as terrible ownership and models.

I don't share all of the miserable squad's view... I think we'll beat Cardiff and look good doing so. Everything is that bit better than it was at this time, last year - younger lads a bit more mature and experienced, a head coach who doesn't appear incompetent, unlike the last two, shiny new kits that are the best we've had in years. Whilst it might not be HMS Piss the league, it'll not be HMS Get pissed on by the rest of the league.

This seems like a good post ( at the minute )
