*~*~* Bolton v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[peasmarshmakem]

Went to walk the dog at half four... Didn't take phone.... and hoped it would be 4 all when I got home...... Unfucking believable.... He's got to go... So unpredictable ffs

 

[Mowgli]

I'm not sure what we do from this point tbh. Today is completely unacceptable

Hes not the bloke for any 'long term plan' that much is clear.

 

[Yankee]

That was me. I'm ashamed!

Don't be mate. We're all Sunderland fans, you've just got to laugh!

 

[Stan Cummins fault]

Really?

I think it’s safe to say our defence didn’t have their best day today.

 

[SGF]

This can easily be fixed by signing another winger.

As long as he’s under 6ft

 

[Sweeper]

I’m confused - do you think the players all got together and told him that they preferred playing 4 at the back and getting humped. Did they tell him to keep persisting with players that are bang out of form and a little shit. Did they tell him to start the game with only 3 defenders. Did they tell him not to change the system and the players at half time?

Really?!

Do any players tell their managers to make decisions like that?

Both of our good runs this season have been playing 4 at the back. Aug-Oct and Nov-Dec.

 

[Poacher]

Hard time to sack a manager when he's just brought all his players in. Not saying he should / shouldn't be sacked but the timing is bad for the Chairman.

Depends what the chairman wants. Because we won’t go up with him in charge

For once I'd rather a caretaker manager in, I just want him gone.

 

[marathon9]

Bless. I bet you couldn’t beat them either.

Losing to a bigger club is ok ..

 

[Gloucester]

Conceded 3 at Sheff Wed, 4 at Portsmouth, 5 at Rotherham, and 6 at Bolton. Who will get the nagnifucent 7 against us?

 

[Kenna]

Punish the players in anyway legally possible.

Have them listen to Lee Johnson

 

[DyG]

Stunned. Just stunned.

 

[zidanny]

Laugh all you like. He will not be sacked. What else can we do ?? Onto the next game we go. Moan all you want on the internet. It changes nothing.

 

[Deleted member 13050]

Jesus christ

If you don’t laugh you’d cry ffs

 

[Weremuthe]

In a league with 24 in it?

Typo

 

[SGF]

Felt his job was safe this season, but that game is bad enough to potentially get him his P45.
There is no way the club won't be discussing his position next week, if not tonight.

I hope it is but I don’t think they will be

 

[hardlife]

Midtable 6-0.....he's got to go. We were never getting promoted with this bloke in charge should have cleaned him out at the end of last season, problem is KLDs bought into his total bullshit, lads too young.

 

[Alcoholic_Author]

Have them listen to Lee Johnson

They do that anyway.

 

[McMackem]

I’ll ask you the same question - are you suggesting that’s what the players are coached/told to do?

Spot on from Danny Collins there - “the players just downed tools”.

You can't seriously exempt Johnson from blame, why have a manager then? Who motivates the team, who makes the in-game changes. HT alarm bells were deafening - he did NOTHING. Yes the players have collapsed in this one, but the selection, formation and approach that failed and remained unchanged for way too long - that's 100% in the managers hands. If the players don't perform it is the managers responsibility over time to solve it. But these games keep happening. Absolving him of all blame is utter ridiculous.

This can easily be fixed by signing another winger.

One that's weak as piss and maybe a maximum of 5ft 7in?
