Booing and abuse

I reckon its more of a psychological thing. Desperately chasing the top three, then start to slip behind the pack and then dealing with the disappointment. Then just as you're over it, the coach starts saying that we need to drop our levels to save ourselves. Its possible.

Fair enough point.

If so, for me, he's a long term thinking unheralded genius.
Tbf I have my doubts.
We'll see

The only 3 teams in the league above us have 100s of millions of pounds more money due to parachute payments

We've been poor for a couple months now and a run like this has been coming. What I would say though, IF we did manage to get promoted, how will our fans react when the inevitable heavy defeats come next season and pretty regularly? It'll be brutal at times and I don't think our fans will handle it well at all.

How do you think they will act?

If we don’t spend 500 million snd beat the mags and stay up people will want new owners, players and a manager

It never ends man

It’s pointless

Agree. Its turned toxic in general, less about turning up and supporting the team you love. Sad.

There's a 70% chance we dont go up. If we dont has he been right or wrong? Or somewhere in the middle?

People think by just going to the game makes you a great fan, sorry it doesn’t.

Im honestly just sick of footy culture in general. Toxic is a good word, it’s not just Sunderland, for example west ham are in Europe for 4 years snd win a European cup. One bad season snd they want the owners out.

I just find the whole thing canny depressing if I’m Honest

Some fans like the ones above just want us to be bought by a country and spend a billion quid or someit.

It’s just about going to the game and supporting the team you love…who are fuckin 4th btw!!

Anyway rant over. I’ll stick to cricket.

Technically it's somewhere in middle as beginning was great, last few months dross.
But you're judged on your recent performances.

What I'll say is, would you want what we've seen since January next season (in the championship).
We can't guarantee it'll be like that, but past is all we've got to go off

Aye, finished 4th. Best finish in the division since Keane. What a disgrace.

Some of our fanbase FFS. No wonder the atmosphere in the ground is turd.

In my opinion, this was the season to back the manager in January, we signed le fee and made a loanee a permanent, le fee on loan with no commitment to buy unless we went up. A complete disaster from our owner, a chance to prove he appreciates the fans and club and he blew it. We could have carried on with our form and finished top two, I don’t think KLD wants promotion, his wallet is scared

It has been worse. People were clapping the players off after we lost 3-0 away to Scunthorpe under Phil Parkinson in the worst SAFC performance in my near 35 years of watching us.

I just mean the fact they came from nowhere and got playoffs after looking like a bottom half side. If our season had been like theirs this place would be bouncing. People are too concerned with recent form rather than the fact we’ve as good a chance as anyone in the playoffs.

Since that purple patch of 9 wins in 10 from 18th Jan to 3rd March, they've got just 10 points in 9 games. We have 8 points in 9 games but had far less to play for.

This place would be far worse now if we had their season and for a lot longer 🤪

Bit aye, we have as good a chance as anyone in the playoffs 👍

A lot booing today and abuse, Rigg looking like his nearly crying, players just standing there staring at us. The feel good factor gone?

Big pressure on Regis to deliver in the playoffs cause flinging 4 games in a row was always going to make our crowd a bit more moany then what we already are.

Fkin shambles and anyone who tries to polish it up is a happy clappin ****. More or less a full team steamrolled by a piss poor team
