They're just not good enough are they, the players, the coaches, the manager, the owner... the entire club is shite. SAFC is dead and won't be back for a while.

Maybe that’s just his way, hold onto a lead instead of trying to extend it. Not saying it’s right but if he had taken Fletcher off and put Asoro on and we had lost then he would have still got pelters. I’m not a big fan but I can see his dilemma. We are bullied in most games and don’t have a big side. Fletcher whilst pretty shite is tall and (in his mind) is more effective defending against the many big lumps in this league than Asoro or Lua Lua.

It’s not what we like to see as Sunderland supporters, that sort of tactic isn’t in our blood but Coleman obviously thought it would be our best bet to stay up. Hasn’t worked so do we say thanks Chris see you later or see if he does stay build a team that we can truly support. I’m undecided still.

I didn't see Fletcher win a ball the entire second half
 
If ever a team were there for the taking it was Norwich tonight. They were as bad as any side we've faced this year yet should still have won.

We've got nothing at all to cling onto. Their goal was just embarrassing but once we scored it looked like our players completely froze at the prospect of actually winning a game at home. It looked like Honeyman, Cattermole, Kone, Love were all walking through treacle they were that slow. Fletcher offers nothing absolutely nothing.

Win tonight and we could have really put the pressure on with a win at the weekend.

The likes of Cattermole and O'Shea should have been screaming at the players to keep going in the second half but we've got no leaders, no bottle and no hope.

The bloke has an abysmal managerial record. He is full of his own self importance. Has not made one jot of difference since his arrival. In my humble opinion of course.

If anyone was conned it was Coleman. He has been on a hiding to nothing from day 1. The owner and the (lickspittle) CEO bear full resonsibility and are driving this club head first down the toilet. Neither of them have any idea how to run a football club.

We cant defend for toffee in a poor league yet he goes ultra defensive with substitutions to play into the hands of sides. I was pleased when hexwad appointed byt how wrong i was .

Of course, if you score more than one goal it matters less what the opposition do. And you're more likely to score with more than one (useless) attacker on the pitch.

That's bollocks like. Over the time he's been here we've averaged a point a game.

Terrible appointment, we replaced someone with a good record at this level with someone who has an abysmal record at this level, It was never going to make much of a difference.

Four Sunderland players round the Norwich player who won the ball in the air, and two Norwich players unmarked when the ball comes down. Fukin hell can they not pick a man up each.

7 Blunderland players in the 6 yd box

That goal just sums up our whole season. Pathetic, from everyone involved. The clip of this league ffs, and we're finishing in the bottom 3 of it.

only chance now is for 2 of the 3 teams above us to lose all their remaining games and the league to give us 10 extra matches to get the 7 draws we need.

Plus Bolton play Barnsley on Saturday.
Even if they draw we are goosed.
Especially as we still have Fulham to play who are neck and neck with Cardiff for the 2nd automatic spot.

We will go into League 2 with a whimper.

Pathetic owner, pathetic CEO, pathetic manager, pathetic coaching staff, pathetic team.

Half the reason we are in this mess is because we change managers every few months. We need to stick with one whatever league we are in and back him. However if he’s got to build a team on freebies and loans then he’s going to fall on his arse, but so is everyone else who could replace him.
