    Entertainment

    Of course results matter, but is foot ball not also supposed to be about entertainment? Chess is hardly a spectator sport (but I love playing it). I wish critchley well and I clearly want us to win the league, but I don't enjoy watching pool this season. They are so boring. Every game is 90...

    Has anybody been charged with his murder yet?

    They've gone too far

    My son is currently out on his stag night. I have just been sent a photo. They have made him wear a Preston shirt! What was wrong with shaving his eyebrows or putting him on a boat to France. Kids today know no boundaries.

    Wish I knew

    what has gone wrong this season. Simon Sadler has certainly made some bad decisions, but I believe his heart is in the right place and that he wants to do his best for the club. Ben Mansford? I don't really know enough about him. I think the players usually give their best, but it clearly hasn't...

    Well done boys

    Staying with my daughter in Hertford last week and she went with me for her first game in ages to the Luton match. She could not believe the support the team got even when they were losing. At the end of the game the supporters continued to chant long after the final whistle. There was no...

    Poveda

    Not even on the bench. He might be a problem player, but at least he is creative. Forget pride. Get him on the pitch

    two questions

    Is Poveda injured, not even on the bench today. Why is the Bristol city match at 12.30? Are we on sky?

    Ingratitude

    I am really getting fed up with all the negativity on this board. I am getting fed up of people being blamed and resignations being called for. If I were Simon Sadler I would be tempted to get rid of the club and free himself of the aggravation. Comparing him to the Oystons is ridiculous. Let's...

    Recruitment

    I know there has been a lot of people moaning that we didn't get our targets before the window closed, but have our recruitment team really done a bad job? I used to hate loan players and always wanted the team to be full of permanent players, but over time I have changed my mind. The reasons...

    Appleton

    Just been reading the Sunderland message board. They were praising Appleton and think he is a good manager. Give credit where its due, whatever he said at half time was inspired. We looked really good second half and the turnaround was startling. We should have won that. On another point, the...

    Infrastructure

    Can anyone tell me (as an exile) what is happening with regards the new training ground and the East stand re-development. Has any work started yet?

    Lavery

    He is a striker who doesn't score. Maybe he is being played in the wrong position. He's tenacious, puts in a good tackle and harasses opposition players. The sort of guy who might break down opponents attacks. Why not give him a try in midfield?

    The right decision

    It was the right decision to let Bowler go. He was never going to stay beyond his contract and the money allows some flexibility to get in new players. I also think we got too reliant on him. The management now have to think about where the creativity is going to come from without him. We have...

    Uefa Qualifications

    Critch was supposed to have the highest coaching qualification available which few other coaches ever achieved. This would imply he had knowledge that other coaches did not. His decision making should be better informed than others, but that does not seem to have happened. Already many are...

    Something is not right at the club

    We still don't really know why Critch left. Very limited options applied to replace him. Lots of players moving on, either transferred out or on loan. Cannot recruit players, even from lower leagues, they don't want to come. Lot of players lacking form. Not sure about morale. I don't think the...

    Simon Sadler's decision making

    Don't get me wrong I am a big fan of Simon Sadler, I believe he has the club at heart and he has certainly invested in the club. He strikes me as a clever and articulate man which means I am absolutely shocked by the appointment of Michael Appleton. Why would the head of a business make an...

    In fairness

    I am as shocked as anyone that Critch has gone, and I don't think he has done it in the best possible way, but we should not forget how fragile a managers job is. Simin Sadler got rid of Grayson because results were poor. There is no reason to think Critch wouldn't also have got potted if...

    New Manager

    I think Keogh is worth considering. Don't know if he has the qualifications, but he knows the players, they seem to like him. He seems to have an affinity with the club and there is some continuity there.

    Getting things into perspective

    It was inevitably going to happen, and it has. A poor end to the season and supporters start slagging the manager and the players. People have short memories and forget where we have come from and what our situation is. 1. Our gates are among the smallest in the league and therefore we, as...
