f***ing hell man let it go, they are both f***ing terrible. It's far easier to make out they are shite than it is to make out they aren't. Wyke has actually scored this season up to now but it's unlikely he'll keep it up and his replacements are all f***ing dire

spot on, the obsession with defending graham is just weird...every one of our options are utter shite, and even worse under this manager

I thought Grigg put himself about a bit today. He was pretty garbage but it’s hardly a surprise. This desire to refuse any chance of playing through the middle in order to attack via the wings is the exact opposite of the game he needs in order to be effective.

'Put himself about a bit' you have to be kidding. That should be a given, he and all the supposed strikers are useless, and why we brought back Graham when he was abject the first time is beyond belief.

I thought he was woeful tbf. not remotely tidy on the ball as he was early this season and panic/ bottle went on every occasion he could have linked or played someone in.

we've seen so far he wont be effective nomatter how we play, so whilst we may be far too predictable and unable to play through the middle its going to be pretty hard to when the opposition were so deep for the majority of the game and the guy playing off a target man is so limited in what he brings.

hes spurned too many chances in the box over the course of nearly two years and been ineffective too often to still be thinking the system and style of play is a big factor in his dismal form.

It’s a very low bar tbf:lol:

As bad as he is I still prefer him to graham or O’Brien. That’s a savage indictment of Parkys woeful transfer business.

More so that Graham is on record that he is a mag loving Sunderland hater.So does he care as long as he is getting paid .
Not at all he is laughing at the idiots that reappointed him

Nail on head, Parky is so fkn defence minded, our style of play is so, so Negative.

Everyone who told me I was being overly critical still happy with Parky and not worried about performances then?

Today hasn't altered anything, 8 changes and missing all of our key players. It's almost as if he deliberately picked that team because he wanted out of the cup ASAP

The wider context of our performances this season is still a worry, but whilst we are winning and in the mix for automatic promotion there is no way the club will sack Parkinson

Frankly, the bed wetting and whinging over a single defeat is mag-esque levels of embarrassing
