I think it's a nailed on frigging certainty.
My gut reaction after the play off final was to sack him there and then. We didn't. That turned out well.
Mine too, and I think we were far from alone in that thought.

Using ppg as a guide makes no sense, it's the league placings that matter.
Always has done, always will do - except for last season's exceptional circumstances
Lives in the states, is married with a bairn and is doing ok as an actress. Apart from that, nee idea. I’m not a stalker or owt.What's she doing now Abby?
She's an actress? I just thought she was a pair of breasts with an amusing name.Lives in the states, is married with a bairn and is doing ok as an actress. Apart from that, nee idea. I’m not a stalker or owt.
She went and studied acting after she’d struggled with depression. Then moved to the states to try and make a fresh start. Good luck to the lass.She's an actress? I just thought she was a pair of breasts with an amusing name.
It sounds like 'happy Christmas' and also 'tits much.' Both of which seemed apt.
But if she's an actor I'm going to have reconsider everything.
Aye good luck to her. And I hope she's feeling much better.She went and studied acting after she’d struggled with depression. Then moved to the states to try and make a fresh start. Good luck to the lass.
The pain of that should be lessened by the structure. The players should never be Johnson’s players, they’ll always be Sunderland’s. it should make changes mid-season much less disruptive.Aye, you're right about fine margins like. I do think it's disappointing that we're not looking more of a cohesive unit, but if he gets it right when it matters and we go up then he's done well.
Like I say, I'm certainly not in the "sack him if we don't go up" camp but I do think he'll have a lot to prove. Will definitely be a pain in that there will be some who have their mind made up, ideally we'd be starting next season with fans back and all singing from the same hymn sheet. My main worry will be that, if he isn't the right man, it'll be yet another case of getting rid mid way through next season, then writing the rest of it off while saying he needs "his players" in. We can't keep writing seasons off. Not sure what the answer is though because I'd definitely keep Johnson. There's no point in trying to change the style, get consistency through the squad, and then immediately make a managerial change. Just f***ing hope he is the right man, and wish there were a few more reasons for confidence!
Every time, everyday, that doesn't mean folk need to act like pussies.So into our 4th season in league one we stand tall and stick our chests out. How many before we start saying it’s not acceptable?
Ha'way, It was only a short statement.Like LJ
I think the other clubs blowing up is counterbalanced by the defensive injury crisis. With a fully functioning defence gaining confidence in each other during the good run I think we’d still be in with a chance of automatic if not be favourites for it.Again though, he's done this whilst actually getting less points per game than Parkinson got this season. And with a January transfer window and Aiden McGeady. I mean, its Parkinson's own daft fault for not using Mcgeady but for Johnson to have a worse record even with him it doesn't inspire confidence. To be fair to Johnson he did have a game on his first day and the Covid outbreak to deal with but still, the fact we were (for a time) near automatic is more due to the fact a lot of other sides went off the boil as opposed to being anything greatly positive from Johnson. And now we're in the position where we still might miss out on play offs. I don't think we will but this run is a real concern. If we stagger over the finish line and lose in the play offs he'll have been no better than Parkinson this season, and no better than the bloke we all said was shit and should never have been here in the first place is far from a ringing endorsement
we've got a 25% chance like the three other playoff muppetsWe will probably get into the playoffs. If we don’t, there should be riots.
If we do get into the playoffs, we won’t win them.
That's only 5Peterborough, Blackpool, Lincoln, Charlton and Portsmouth will win tomorrow. Put them on your six fold.
Some would have u castrated for mentioning Short on hereEvery time, everyday, that doesn't mean folk need to act like pussies.
Ha'way, It was only a short statement.
Shame, I was going to ask if anyone had any Charlie!Some would have u castrated for mentioning Short on here
We could fail to qualify for the playoffs...We could get promoted without winning another natch, we could win the playoffs on penalties,semi final and final
I'll still be watching it and my lad will too even though he said he wasn't bothering again this season (he's 16 and a sore loser!). I'm sure this terrible run came about cos me and him got our first season tickets for next season.
I don't think hes done very well. I cant believe that section of supporters that had veins popping out of their heads fuming over Parkinson but are philosophical after 3 points in 18 and chucking 2 goal leads away at home to Accrington Stanley. That said he still has a great opportunity ahead of him in the next month and if he gets us up whatever anyone thinks so far he will have done a great job. Good luck Lee - get it right.
Not watching utterly f***ing grim football certainly helps, and the fact that we can actually see that there's a plan to go out and win games....even if it doesn't always happen.
Why are we still talking about Parky anyway? You seem a bit obsessed with him.
