How could Big Sam be serious about signing a striker when O'Shea is out for 2-3 weeks minimum, Kaboul has a knock, Coates is rubbish, and Wes Brown is 36? And when they were fit they let in 19 goals in 9 games! We need a better CB. Yedlin is doing well at RB and so is Jones at LB, but we certainly need some quality in the middle. I don't know how much more obvious it needs to be.

Agree that was another shambles! defensively we looked all over the place paticularlay down the left side AGAIN! why play Tovonian . Brown when they aren't match fit? play them in the u21s for a few games and why why why why isn't Watmore not starting? again under successive managers he gets ignored?

Even Roberge would have been better than Brown today! all we want for Christmas is 2 centre backs! play the u21 defence it can't be any worse than this shambolic defence! you mentioned Jones he was badly out of position for 2 of there goals! not good enough!

Agree jones is not a CB. I'm not sure why he was started at there ahead of Rodwell who has more experience and is better in the air. Coates just need to go far, far away. I'd honestly rather have Vergini at CB. Surely there is someone better than what we have right now in the bosman market. That said, I think a 3-5-2 could work with the right back 3. I've been hoping for that formation for a while now. But Coates, Brown, and Jones are not the right back 3, but unfortunately they're all we've got at the moment if he's not going to play the kids.

Yes Big Sam has to hold his hands up playing 3 at the back was a recipe for disaster! probably better playing Graham at centre back! lol what about playing Larsson at right back! he has played there before and performed well! Yes we all want Vergini back now lol! I just hope Ellis Short releases some funds in Janurary or our goal difference is going to be embarrassing!

Its worrying about the youth policy at this club! we have a england keeper on loan at Preston when he should be pushing Pants for place in the team! same goes for Watmore Gooch and several other youngsters paticuly when the u21s are doing so well and the first team so badly! that says the fooball knowlege at the top end of this club ie Congerton, Byrne and Short isn't very good and we need someone to come in and make sensible football decisions at this club! as usual fans know more about football than the people who are running this club!

Poor Sam or whoever took this job. we have 4 good players, the rest well you see it week in week out. the fact is, Mr short messed up, he should have recruited back room staff and board members who were football people then stuck by a manager. he's took the easy way out, sack managers, now his luck has ran out.

its no good getting how big Sam's back, this has been coming for 5 years. as for Lens, that's what you get when you buy foreign players with big egos, look at Chelsea. Short needs to start letting managers sign players and get some football people in to run Sunderland. well let's hope we get 5 good plays in and hope for the best, but stick by SAM!
