Dan Neil

Sounds like Ipswich fans are even worse than on here for overreacting.

I’ve been following this a bit. They have that Facebook page which is very much anti McKenna and they are critical of everything. I don’t think they are representative of the majority but they have valid points about how much money they have wasted.

Lads never played a game for a year

Wouldn’t say May to now is a year.

Wouldn’t say May to now is a year.

Ok then 10/11 months

just another honeyman who will be forgotton and make himself a journeyman , having said that weve just payed 30 million for a centre mid whos not much better

He's scored the winning goals in our last 3 wins.

 

[Dick Fitzwell]

For me personally he's lived the dream that all us Sunderland fans had when we were kids, he's played for, captained and led his club to glory a few times. I hope the lad goes on and has a great career.

9 month and 17 days.

Maybe he’s just not that good?

Or maybe 9 month and 17 days as opposed to 10/11 months is just pointless pedantry?

Played against Huddersfield anyway.

Still not fully convinced he’s a worse back up for Geert given how it’s played out with him (huge dip in performances post transfer rumours)

I think Gert's the more reliable footballer, and can cover a few different positions.

End of the day, Gert's here for a year, Neil was running down a contract that wasn't gonna be renewed. He needed a move to play football.

Maybe he’s never played a game for the majority of the year and juts getting sharp what’s the obsession with wanting out players we have produced to be shit esp Neil was captain ffs

Or maybe he’s just not that good. He was hardly brilliant last season and played most games.

I watched the Ipswich game on Saturday and he was definitely allowed to play a bit further forward than we allowed. He had a decent game.

 

[Rip Van Fish]

I watched them on Saturday and it was as bad a perfomance from him as you’ll ever see. He gave the ball away every time he had it then fouled the player, trying to get it back.

I saw the highlights and saw him make a huge cock up in the first half which nearly cost them a goal

 

[Coeus]

Wonder if he won their motm poll?

From an Ipswich fan/ fanzine:

The decline of Dan Neil. Early performances were decent, but he's now had a succession of stinkers where he has been by far our worst player on the pitch.

Having won the EFL Trophy, and both the League One and Championship Playoffs with Sunderland he was binned off as soon as they hit the Premier League. Having stepped back down, he now looks like he's struggling at even this level.

If he continues to play like this, he won't likely be here beyond this season. That's as bad as two back-to-back games as I can remember for a Town player at this level.

He really wasn’t that good for us. Our midfield was stinking last year. We just had decent defenders and a rapid counter

We couldn’t retain the ball against any half decent team

He was getting raved about a week or so back. Just a bunch of hot air merchants like on here

Finished 4th in the league and our midfield was stinking aye

I saw his mistake at the weekend where it nea.ry cost a goal, but in the other games I’ve watched them he has looked decent. I think Neil is a championship player for sure, but one who I think is better than some give him credit for.

He'll still be getting up to speed as well I imagine
