Bottom of the table

More silverware would still be pretty brilliant and more than most clubs achieve in the modern game! (But it's still a long way away).

The highly rated up and comers of today have won a sum total of nothing so far, which is probably why they're media darlings - they look good and act as player incubators for the big hitters without upsetting the status quo.

I'm not judging what should happen, but without being too political, what I believe will happen based on state links, trade, government influence, economic impact - I'm sure you know the story.
A heavy fine and possible points deduction ( not enough to see them relegated) would be my guess.

Yes, I do understand what you are saying and you make some excellent points.

Despite that I do expect City to be relegated one way or the other, because they absolutely HAVE to be.

It will be interesting for sure to see what the punishment is and whether external factors come in to play / effect the outcome or not.

If weā€™re going to be at the bottom of the table, Iā€™d rather it be now than in March. But something HAS to change or else weā€™ll be playing at Milwall next year.

We canā€™t change the players at this point, but we need a complete overhaul with everything else. Hate it, but I think a change at manager is needed. I like Sage, but I think we need a Premier League guy to get us out of this quagmire.

The team that played the first 60 mins today can keep us in the league with a few tweaks and cleaning up the stupid stuff that happens way too often.

And we need to spend in January. Bigly.

If that is the plan Hobbs must go.
 
Being bottom at this time of year means little especially when you look at the whole table . 9 points off a CL spot ,Two wins and we are mid table .

Its a tight league which has a lot to do with the promoted sides having excellent starts . They will be worked out and will start to slip down the table .Sunderland like us are struggling with Europe , playing twice every week .
I would have thought every team below 6th will still be looking down rather than up for a good few months yet

Nothing to panic about just yet and as long as the league stays tight a couple of wins or a couple of defeats will see a big change in the table

Purely out of curiosity, what do you like about Sage? Is it the passion he has? The utter confusion on his face? His incredible tactics? Or his way of getting the players fired up from the touchline?
My personal favourite is his gormless look on his face when we go one nil down and the way he looks exactly the same when we are three nil down.

That's your view you must want a manager screaming the odds and running up and down the line . I dont because means he hasnā€™t got it set right
 
I'm not despondent.

Pulis took a worse squad to 11th, although I recognise he had more warriors amongst his players.

He was shrewd in really targeting the 6 pointers and minimising the heavy defeats.

One of my favourite games was the 1-0 home win against Mourinho's very good Chelsea side.
That was almost a bonus 3 points against all the odds, and it gave the team a lot of self belief.

Parish has to be clever, lucky or both with his next choice.

He reminds me of the chap that once got interviewed on BBC news who thought he was some expert or another, but was actually there for a cleaning job interview! šŸ«£

a lot of brilliant players were in that squad.

Today we have a lot of mediocrities.

Really? We were playing Ward in central midfield. Warriors yes, but brilliant, nah.

You can't really have a team taken to the bottom of the league after ten games and keep your job. That's the upshot of it.
