Exactly. How quickly people forget how many goals he’s scored for us before.

Something uplifting or pumping. Just not Coldplay again- for the love of God.

I’ll be honest, I’d rather get water boarded than hear that chump speak ever again. An absolute waster.

There were only a few groans though, not the whole crowd- which is what people are keen to frame it as, but just isn’t true unfortunately.

26% out of a possible 100% is definitely barely playing at all. It’s still really sad you are so keen to write him off so quickly, after 2 serious injuries as you mentioned. Loyalty works both ways , just a shame you can only see one of those.

Well yeah, considering we’ve had 17 league games so far, I’d say that’s not many minutes out of a possible 1530. Just because JDT has seemingly given up on him, doesn’t mean it’s automatically the right thing to do. It’s sad that someone as pro the club as you is so quick to write off one of our best players from the last few seasons. Particularly when so keen to hype up Vale and Hirst, who could only dream of contributing to the club what Dack has, based on their showings so far.

Who says he is? He’s barely had any game time. Why are you so keen to get over a player that has been absolutely vital to us since he’s been here?

Think we could do with steering this back towards football, please guys.

It’s not ideal, but a few groans or frustrated comments about getting him off are part and parcel of being in a crowd. My bet would be that BBD never heard any of them….

I’m convinced there’s no club like ours where fans are determined to blame others, even at the expense of reality. The overwhelming majority of fans in the ground went over the top with their support of BBD as they could see he needed encouragement. A few grumbles at mistakes don’t equate to ‘putting pressure on him at home’.

Season ticket sales have improved, but they still could and should be better. It’s not that difficult.

For the sake of the club, I hope Vale does prove everyone wrong, but he’s not shown a right lot in what I’ve seen of him so far, certainly not enough to warrant a new (and presumably improved) deal.

Phew- I think that succinctly sums today up tbh. A win and staying second in the league is what matters the most though!

It’s one guy giving a prediction on a forum- if we stopped him doing that, we would have to stop everyone. You could always desist viewing his posts or put the bloke on ignore?

That Patrick Roberts looked absolutely class for Sunderland, as a few other posters have mentioned. Even though they were all over us towards the end though, I don’t feel like they had that many clear cut chances in reality.

He engaged in some good clean shithousery in delaying the return of the ball, in short!

I’ve seen some embarrassing stuff in my time, but Sunderland fans descending en masse to have a go at a Rovers ball boy is right up there. Cringey AF.

It’s this, but substitute Wayne Rooney for John Buckley- https://www.fanchants.com/football-songs/manchester_united-chants/he-goes-by-the-name/

What I find the most bizarre about Dack not being picked to start is that JDT played in the same position as him as a player!

Wigan just want it more- 50-50s become 80-20s. If we lose, but we graft, I can live with that. The lack of desire is very difficult to take though.

Enjoying winning every other match, not enjoying the Jekyll and Hyde nature of our matches though.

He isn’t the only one.

The state of that defending and goalkeeping. Christ alive.

Just like the Cardiff game, this. The players gave it the big’uns about consistency a few times since last Saturday, but the only thing we’ve been consistent in this half, is giving away chances.

You said directly that he was banned for absolutely nothing. Where did you mean he was banned from then?
