Our bad part of season has started early this year.
Quinn and short are not happy as expected.
What do we do, the same thing Bruce has done every season blame the players for not taking chances.
Yes I agree but if we had the players all us fans thought we were going to buy
Nzogbia
Crouch
Wright Phillips
Bellamy
We would not be saying the same old things.
We play with no striker yet 2 wingers and wonder why we don't score
Gyan is not the answer too huffy and not enough grit
Yes we fin in top 10 but it could have been better
Bruce out asap and get someone in who won't use excuses and will take 3 points off mags

Believable4 Unbelievable0

We need a striker bought, if we don't get a left winger then sess should play left, gardner, catts centre, larsson on the right, wickham/new signing with gyan upfront, bruces tactics are shocking

Agree1 Disagree1

Catts centre...for gods sake he is the biggest problem!

Agree4 Disagree3

We pick up more points with catts in the team

Agree3 Disagree3

Cattermole is quality good solid centre mid, so shut up youve probably never kicked a ball in your life havnt got a clue

Agree4 Disagree4

I agree clattermole a liability for a midfielder he cant shoot, no pace long passing is limited and his tackling is at least a booking everytime. rather play colback as ball winner along side gardner or vaughan

Agree4 Disagree1

Ha cattermole is the worst player to have played centre midfield in the history of the premiership, even big clarence acuna would have ran rings around him, enjoy the season SMB'ssssss

Agree0 Disagree0

I have no problem with the current squad and signings SB has made this season but....
In the last two seasons our form as dipped alarmingly after Christmas . I would hazard a guess that we may see another 4month slump but this time at the start of the season. Everyone knows you cant afford to start slowly in the Premier league.
If we can get M.O'Neil to manage our club we should. He consistently gets his sides to the finals of major competitions. No other prospective sunderland manger ever to have taken the job could have made that claim.FTM

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Im sure martin o'neil got slated off villa fans 4 playin players owt of position when he woz manager up ther !

Agree2 Disagree2

24 Aug 2011 18:04:25
Why don't we go in for Moyes,Everton are a big club but a mess at the moment and he's been there a while maybe he would jump at the chance to come to a club who buys players many of them.Hughes also a good shout,although I would hate O'Neill has he is worse than bruce for playing people out of position.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Moyes will be next man u manger

Agree2 Disagree1

Hughes what has he done in management NOWT

Agree3 Disagree0

ffs will all yous whinging,fickle morons shut half your mouths and realise that yous are not only makin fools of yourselves, but all sunderland supporters ! we all no that weve had a bad start 2 the season but cumin on here whingin is just playing in2 the mags hands . we hav brought in 10/11 players in so at least giv them a chance 2 settle in b4 they regret cumin ! the transfer window is not shut yet and sb always said he wud bring loan players in but that wont happen til nearer the window shutting so give him a chance ! yous fickle morons are slagging our club off 4 doin exactly wot yous hav been accusin those up the road 4 , so no wonder they are laughin at us ! giv a bit support 2 what sb and nq are tryin 2 do and stop givin the mags bullets 2 fire at us !!

Believable4 Unbelievable4

Could not agree anymore but if ye read most comments on here people are not questioning the players as everyone knows they will take time to gel but it is the tactics that bruce is playing. players out of position is no good to anyone if most of the fans can see the problems and bruce cant then in my eyes he deserves to go he says he needs to give the players from last season first opportunity but we just crawled over the finnishing line last season with our survival in the premiership and if the same tactics we have seen in first couple of games are carried forward into the season then we might not be as lucky as for the sgbs up the road let them gloat because if you were at the game on saturday we should have no fear of finnishing above them yes they won the game but that is one of the worst teams i have seen come to the sol in a long time and between now and the end of season teams will come to sol and beat us.

Agree2 Disagree0

My only complaint about the playing staff is Cattermole. His relationship with Bruce is unhealthy. He is not good enough and definitely should not be captain. We need a new captain to lead and organise on the pitch and show commitment by winning the ball back when the opposition have it instead of sything down players and getting carded every 5 mins.
My nomination would be Gardner.

Agree2 Disagree1

I've shelled out nearly £500 knicker to watch these so i'll say what i want!!

Bruce winges on about not taking chances' but has 3 strikers on the bench!!

He's lost the plot, the fans and i reckon one or two players already!!

BRUCE OUT

Agree7 Disagree0

I too hav shelled out 500 nicka 4 a season ticket and woz at the game on satday but ide like 2 think i shelled out 500 to watch a full season at sol and support the manager and the team for the full season not watch one game and start whingin and bringin a sense of despondency and negativity in2 it ! ule probably b one of those supporters that wil boo the team off the pitch if we get beat off chelsea ! i appreciate uve shelled owt 4 a season ticket but wer u xpectin miracles ! if bruce cud bring a forward in on loan and let wong don and wickham settle in i can stil see us havin a gud season .

Agree2 Disagree4

Prat lets all sit quiet and let bruce take us down and we can all smile and say at least we didnt have a go at him and give the mags a laugh. bruce is inept at tactics plays clattermole even tho a liability better players on bench. moans about not scoring but leaves all strikers on bench hes a muppett get him out now before its too late

Agree4 Disagree0

Prat lets all moan and promote doom and gloom around the place afta just 2 games ! lets all boo the team off if we get beat off chelsea ! lets all get on the players backs and f--- ther confidence up b4 they even settle in ! etc etc etc . the mags up the road are laughin at us bcos of morons like you shoutin 4 bruces head even tho the transfer window is still open and weve only played 2 games in the prem and we drew 1 of them away 2 liverpool who then went on2 beat arsenal away the week afta ! so give bruce and the team at least 10 games b4 you join the boo brigade and bring the atmosphere down 2 your level !
FICKLE FAN OUT !

Agree2 Disagree3

FICKLE FAN!!! You pri ck, I've watched this team since 1970, so i think this entitles me to an opinion!
We only finished in 10th place last season cos newcastLOL blew a 3 goal lead against W.B.A. As someone has already said Bruce has a 38% win ratio, so thats 1 win in just under 3...not good enough!!
Check out the stats since Jan 1st and if your happy with that then your easily pleased.
If Bruce manages to get a PROVEN striker, and a left winger before its to late then i will be the first to come back on here and hold my hands up, but until then its still.....BRUCE OUT

Agree3 Disagree3

24 Aug 2011 15:05:56
mags are dropping like flies
carroll gone
nolan gone
enrique gone
barton going going GONE!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Still not dropping as fast as Blunderland....

Agree1 Disagree2

Could be worse we could be dropping points and panicking over AGENT bruce smb

Agree1 Disagree2

Im a toon fan couldnt agree more its true i think we are in for a difficult season highest we can hope for is 11th butyous are in the thick of it just not as much as us

Agree2 Disagree0

Fact is we beat you lot with only one of these players!

Agree0 Disagree0

Youll not do it again for along time yous have no quality left of the spirit you had last season except colochini and jonas but they cant di it on there own get still love being a mackem than a mag

Agree0 Disagree0

eh how can newcastle call us fickle? havnt you SGB been complaining about your owners for about 4 years now, including the twenty odd managers youve had in and out, ive got one word for you's... hypocrites.

jonny10

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Yeah but their fans hav had a hell of a lot more 2 put up with than losin derby and losin 2 a lower team in the carling cup !!!!
im red and white throo nd throo but am startin 2 repect the mags 4 the support they show their club ! i honestly think that if safc had been treat the same way as the mags we wud be gettin 5000 crowds and be in 2nd division thats how fickle WE ARE . we havnt had a gud start 2 the season ile admit that but we are alredy askin 4 sb head !! its about time we supported our managers and team even thro the bad times like the mags hav season after season even thro the ashley times . respect where its due .

Agree5 Disagree4

Granted we have been complaining about our own fat ashley, but we havent been complaining about our managers, i.e hughton, KK etc, but the owner still insists on sacking them, or they walk out due to disagreements, so i think that gives us the right to complain about our owner do you not think. so really its not that hypocritical when like u say for 4 years we have been complaining about 1 bloke

Agree1 Disagree3

Lol so your saying newcastle have had it easier than sunderland over the last thirty years?clown lets compare starting with newcastle,world class players like ginola shearer etc,champions league football. Top two premiership finishes when they should have won the league,sunderland relegated with record low points TWICE,europe? Benidorm on holiday,yoyo team.If we had newcastles recent history ie last twenty odd years/we would be getting sixty odd thousand every week at the sol,if they had ours they would be getting twenty thousand?

Agree4 Disagree3

I woz talkin bout more recent times when their chairman at the time freddie shepherd called their woman , when they were kicked out of their seats 2 accomodate prawn eaters , when their most recent chairman woz seen on telly makin a pig of himself by downin a pint in 3 seconds while wearin a black nd white shirt , when he changed the name of their stadium from sjp , when he sells a lot of their most popular players and replaces with mediocre players ( in my opinion ) yet they stil turn up and support their team on mass ! we hav had 2 bad games and i can sense despondency and negativity alredy ! no wonder they take the p--- owt of us ! thats wot i woz on about .

Agree6 Disagree3

4 years, try 40 years, and we're still bigger, better, faster, stronger in every which way, in our crisis mode we can still top you SMB's, all of our players jumping ship, and we can still turn you's over, granted we were awful, but what does that say about sunderland?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2011 12:00:24
with Gateshead doing well in the conference we may soon be playing a derby match where we have a chance of winning....pelaw pete

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Wouldnt go that far but ha it made me laugh nice one

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2011 10:55:38
OK OK Its time for calm. We've all vented our spleens over the last couple of days. There have been some huge changes over the summer and it takes time for them to bed in. Be in no doubt we have added quality to the squad. Lets not jump too soon to call for the managers head or worse still criticise the players. We all think we know better than any manager but its time to stick with it, show some patience and give them as much support as we can. We are still rebuilding and it will all come good with us finishing above the Mags again, mark my words. The position at the end of the season is more important than a derby and a cup game!

Believable3 Unbelievable1

We are not critisizing players but bruce's management skills or lack of. you cant complain about lack of goals as a manager when you leave 3 or 4 if you include cook strikers on the bench. yes the squad has improved but the lack of tactical know how of bruce and his backroom staff will be our downfall. thats what we trying to say. not players fault but managers

Agree3 Disagree2

That cup game is supposed to be one of our aims to get into europe only the fa cup remains. not a hope

Agree1 Disagree0

I am as concerned as anyone about the inept tactics of Bruce but its only 2 games in so keep it in perspective and keep calm. Granted if his tactics don't improve and we have no more points in another three games then Niall will have to make some harsh decisions. Right now we need to give our full backing and I believe Bruce will pull it round.
Remember we are in a better position than Arsenal who have higher expectations and their players are like rats leaving a sinking ship!

Agree1 Disagree2

Well lets be honest sunderland wont finish above newcastle but congrats in finishing above newcastle fore the first 3 times in the prem ha so thats 15-3 to newcastle SMB

Agree0 Disagree2

if one thing was proved lastnight against brighton it was that we are desperate for a natural goalscorer, if we don't get anything against swansea then bruces job is on the line, i'm not looking too much into this brighton result, they doing well in the championship, we should of beat them within 90 minutes but we couldn't put the ball in the net. the fact is the past two games we needed a goalscorer and if bruce doesn't buy a proven one he needs sacking. Swansea is a must win. personally I think Gyan has been unsettled by his agent and these rumours, we saw the same thing with b£nt. Get the money spent bruce, I think bruce has 3 games to turn us around otherwise O'neill should come in.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Problem is no wage budget left till we get rid of people agree need striker if gyan wants away let him go to spurs we'll take bently and defoe in exchange 3 games one of which is chelsea i think sacked after stoke game but should do it now

Agree0 Disagree0

We dont want Benty or defoe....
We need Left sided players and 2 strikers... Jeezzz he could have played the strikers from the reserves last night..
We shoulsd have in fact played our best team last night and looked upon it as a training/bonding a game the new players could have used to gel.
Shocking absolutely Shocking... I dont want SB to go but his tactics or lack of them arent helping his cause....Why ? why? why? are we still short of players???? I refuse to believe its all down to money. I have a feeling we will be finding out soon!!!!!!!!

Agree0 Disagree0

As if defoe would come to us never ever as long as i have a hole in my arse will dofoe sign for us...ftm

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we will sign a decent striker last day of the transfer window with a few mins to spare, same as we did with b£nt and gyan

Agree0 Disagree0

Papis demba cisse 33 goals in 50 apps

Agree2 Disagree0

Wont get no striker cause short and quinny doesn't trust bruce any more to get right player in

Agree1 Disagree0

Don't talk daft, we have had to get players off the wage bill, we will bring someone in. have faith because you sounding like those twisting geordies

Agree0 Disagree1

Not a sgb been a season ticket holder for 10 years now and travel over 220 to and spend thousands every year to watch me beloved club but getting fed up now

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Aug 2011 08:56:52
to the people who gave me stick yesterday when i said bruce is tactically inept and has to go, what do you say now. after last night match he was moaning about not scoring goals well steve to score goals you need strikers on the pitch mate not sitting on bench.one up front is ok if its like davies but a player who is really a midfielder and lucky if hes 5 ft 6 is not good enough bruce has lost the plot backroom staff not tactically up to it need to change it now ellis do us a favour and get rid

Believable5 Unbelievable1

I totally agree. I'm not one for changing manager or panic sacking but come on. We were shocking last night. We are quickly becoming a laughing stock. What I don't understand is how we spend all that money, none on a proven striker, then our manager moans about not scoring goals. Come on Bruce, its simple, you let our main striker leave and replaced him with midfielders. If we as fans can see that, surely you can.

Agree3 Disagree0

24 Aug 2011 07:24:09
Bruce under immense pressure due to recent losses, particularly in Brighton. This added to the constant clueless chopping and changes in the squad with no improvement.
