This is the problem with changing manager every two minute. Rodwells of this world get another chance! He's onto his 6th f***ing chance!Rodwell has been given a clean slate this season, according to manager Simon Grayson.
The midfielder scored on his first competitive appearance of the season but was intermittently booed by the home support after struggling to impress over a number of seasons.
Grayson says he has been impressed with the 26-year-old and wants him to express himself on the field.
“For myself, the staff, Jack himself - that was his debut today. People might have questioned why we played him but we felt he played well in the EFL Trophy game, he’s trained well,” he said.
“I see these players every day and I said to Jack, whatever’s happened has happened. It’s in the past, this is a new start for you and hopefully people will give you that time to let you express yourself because you’re a good footballer.
"He did alright, but there were a lot of players who did alright. I don’t like to see individuals being picked out because he’s one of all the group that care, that we’re involved in at this moment in time."

agress totally disagree on the si... clutching at straws at the very least"He did alright, but there were a lot of players who did alright."
Jesus wept.
Amazing how he can run around and be a total waste, I used to be obsessed watching him whilst we didn't have the ball, didn't pick up a man, didn't tackle, didn't follow the ball, hide is a great word for it.Rodwell is a f***ing disgusting footballer. He constantly hides on the pitch, spends most of it no more than 10 yards away from the ref. We should just pay up his contract, don't think I've hated a sunderland player as much as I hate him.
If he selects him against Forest he might as well resign.
Cannot rule out he may have been instructed by Short to put him in the shop window
Ok. Sorry, stick with rodwell then Simon.f***ing shut up man
DefinitelyI think we are missing Larson.
You open up on this board sounding like a Mag in clever disguise... Rodwell is an average Championship player with Top PL wages at this club. There lies the problemI don't see many people in support of Rodwell (I'm not one of them), but is he really as bad as fans think or do you think he is being used as a scapegoat for our current plight?
Did we see anything in his performance against Sheff Utd?
Did his goal mask the truth or can we build on it?
For me, i seen glimpses of good strong challenges. Positionally, it looks like he is out of match fitness and a few yards off the pace. As much as i dislike him, i can't help but feel he is being used as a somewhat scapegoat.
