Very good performance that today. Workrate were at exceptional level and defensively solid and limited Southampton to very little clear cut chances given their quality. The team is improving under Eustace and the fans today recognised that. the fans were great today Its a shame we couldn't have got that winner that I found our overall performance deserved. Back 4 were excellent and Brittain's best game in a Rovers shirt. Hyam and Wharton very good and kept Armstrong and Adams quiet all game. Pickering good aswell. JRC and Tronstad in centre midfield is excellent partnership that's suits each other games. Brittain my man of the match. best player on the pitch Hedges getting injured is problem for me but Markanday put in a shift when he came on and he really upped his level of performance today. Proud of the players and Eustace got his tactics spot on today and the players are really understanding what he wants on and off the ball. Eustace deserved huge credit for what he is trying to create here. I think we found a gem here. We just need to keep picking up points and focus on us and not others Eustace's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪

I'm going for 3-1 Rovers win. Shame about the ref. It would be zero shocked and surprised if he was crap like Atwell was against Ipswich and got major decisions wrong.

Also to factor in that we have just brought in a new footballing management structure with a DoF and GB plus no recruitment staff either that summer.

oops

Its an interesting question how we would play if Szmodics does moved on. We could go 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 or move Buckley into the 10 role but with that it would mean a change of style cos he can't play the 10 role like Szmodics. I think we need a signing in that position but I would say Szmodics ain't left yet tho

They haven't accept it I read earlier today

The questions who made these appointment is why did you make that appointment and what has change for you to make you change head coach again

Its either him or Telalovic. Its an area in the summer we need at least 1 signing in. As well possible Szmodics replacement. Big Summer ahead for Broughton and Eustace

amend

He worked hard, did the rough stuff, He wasn't bully O'Nien either and stood in. We are much better team with him in this team

Very easy decision team selection wise here. same 11 that started the Sunderland game apart from Chrisene in for Pickering

Its been 11 games. That's it. Plymouth have panic here for me. You wanted that type of coach who plays that style and yet again this points to a flaw in the recruitment process that led to his appointment by director of football and Chairman. No replacement line up and its now been left to Director of Football and assistant head coach for the rest of the season

Gallagher was excellent yesterday and we are much better with him in the team currently then not. Still need another striker signing but Gallagher has proved his worth under Eustace

Well Plymouth didn't really give Ian Foster a fair chance for me. When they played us at Ewood Park, The football they played were great to watch. I am surprised they didn't have someone line up to replace him with

I don't see it your way and let's not forget that only a couple of weeks Szmodics played after his missus gave birth during the night and he drove to Ewood Park and told he wanted to play. If he was too injured I'm sure Eustace would have took him off

If I was Sunderland Director of Football I would be looking to appoint one of these 3 head coach/manager Gary Rowett, Michael Skubala or Ruben Selles

Very harsh

what a great advert for Championship football. Very good game of football

Hyam, Brittain and Szmodics were all signed under GB. Plus Chrisene and Moran who can on are GB signings. We need a decent budget in the summer to sign a quality striker and keep improving the squad in some areas. Similar transfer budget to what we had in the first summer under GB like 5 to 7 million pounds. Any way that's discussion for another job correct Sunderland lack direction on and off the pitch. Mowbray complained about the lack of experience in the squad which I think is younger than ours is. Mowbray was always going to the sack since the summer cos they were rumours he would be sack that summer. They need to start over again and have a different plan but actually give the head coach some say in transfers which I don't believe the head coach does there unlike our model which does.

If Szmodics says he is fine then he stays on. It is that much of a problem really?. Even if the close minutes he was closing down defenders. Clearly fine.

Harsh again. It was a good save originally from Dack. What else could he have done with it

Don't read it then 😉
