If ever there was a game I coudnt give a fuck about then this is it.

If Sunderland turn up they win, we've got no fight and no bottle. Fucking embarrassing shambles, the players need to look at themselves, they've got the most successful manager we've had in nearly 60 years sacked. CUNTS.

Depends how you measure success, managers who kept us in the top flight for years like Gordon Milne , I would call them successful keeping us in the top flight.

Nothing. He's probably had no media training, probably would rather have been doing anything else and has been thrown in at the deep end.
Still came across as gormless, I probably would do as well, but I wasn't interviewed and he was.

So based on one interview, you call him a "gormless twat". Pretty sad,says a lot about you

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

ooo "true fan"

Is he not?

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Hoping we lose the next few makes no sense whatsoever. And takes up until what, early December?

So not a fan

I couldn't give a fuck mate.

Honestly, people should have been awake to how close we are to those days before they jumped on the Robins out bandwagon. Lose to Sunderland, bring in a new guy nobody has heard of/likes - start with losses to Sheffield United, Burnley and Cardiff and things will turn proper toxic. The wrong appointment here and King could easily undo all the good work Robins has done over the last 7 years.

Was it working? No

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

For the first time in my life I couldn’t give a shit if we win or lose this one

Bizarre

 

[covcity4life]

Maybe sheaf is ill

Maybe sheaf running late in traffic and asked can someone else do it

Maybe bidwell wanted to do it

Maybe picked random

Maybe people reading too much into it?

But let's blame Doug king anyway

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

What about a draw?

 

[Johhny Blue]

What about a draw?

In between “ Couldn’t give a shit” and “Couldn’t give a shit”

 

[Johhny Blue]

Flirt 🫦

Don’t ever D.M. me again. That was disgusting.

 

[clint van damme]

Genuinely cannot be fucking arsed with this today.
I'm normally like a kid on Christmas day on the morning of an away day.
Absolutely deflated.

Wasn't expecting much anyway but really fear the worse now and can see us getting a right doing.

Yep, there is that fear.

Obviously we were favourites to lose today anyway, but now, with an interim manager, with zero experience of management and man management of football players, that is surely the exact way you wouldn't want to go for a game like this

I am hoping we can keep it close today, but am half expecting an absolute pasting unfortunately .

And this is coming from someone who is always optimistic.

 

[Sick Boy]

Fuck it. Gone from thinking we’ll lose 2-0 to winning 2-0 and it’s the start of their slide down the table.

 

[Briles]

Maybe the players will see it has a free hit and it will relax them a bit who knows

 

[Macca]

Hope all the people who have always preached to get behind the team and not create a toxic atmosphere take their own advice over the coming weeks.

 

[quinn1971]

Well there's an even bigger surprise in the 11 tomorrow that will be the cherry on the top for a lot of people

A left back playing left back ?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Wouldn't surprise me if Dovins injured because its an absolutely mental call to just start Collins out the blue in my view

 

[Otis]

Maybe the players will see it has a free hit and it will relax them a bit who knows

I think they will and I do think we may well play well, but if we go a goal down, I am expecting the whole thing to crumble and us to get beaten out of sight.

 

[quinn1971]

We’re taking the young kid in goal out the firing line, collins is back in, shame because these are the big games you get the experience, see we’re carrying on with the odd team selection, hopefully 433 again

This is well and trully revenge day for the sorry northerners. I expect an absolute hammering to be honest with the sound of 'going down going dow....etc ringing around the stadium. I hope in a way it puts their hatred of us to bed once and for all, although I doudt it. Not bothered about losing just worried about the negative goal difference that could really mean an extra point against us for the rest of the season as we struggle in the relegation zone.

It's mad. We had a better chance of getting a result with Robins in charge than we have with an unknown, non footballing manager, computer guy and every point could be crucial.

Fuck them let them have their moment

They aren't as good as they think they are

Weds night was a 100% cov result, todays Got a cov win all over it

We were a bit slow on Wednesday, so I am hoping Rhys Carr can press the X2 playback button on his MacBook to get us playing at a higher tempo.

 

[Tommo1993]

Won’t be at an away game now until 21/12 at Portsmouth. Hopefully team grown some bollocks by then.

 

[Diogenes]

We are either going to lose by 4 or 5 today or win 1-0.

Both equally possible.

We sat behind them they were actually watching the arsenal game

That's the wrong Saka!!

Boateng looked a bit puzzled

 

[covcity4life]

Worried well have no clue and get hammered

Need super frank in asap?!

 

[lifeskyblue]

An interesting one today. Like many I don’t think sacking robins was the right call. If the players feel the same as the fans we may get a hammering. But if , as some rumours suggest, there was any disquiet in the dressing room with robins tactics or management style we may see a more energised group of players.
A difficult game against top of the table opposition. Not expecting a positive result but hoping for an improved performance

 

[tskezz]

What pubs are people doing today?

 

[skybluepm2]

Can’t remember the last time I was dreading an away day as much. At least it’s only down the road…

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Fuck them let them have their moment

Probably not, but they have a young team and they’re doing well. The average age of their midfield is 22, or something?

Chris Rigg has literally just turned 17, and has more balls and drive than Sheaf, that’s for sure. I spoke to a Sunderland fan about this, he appeared on a podcast, and he said it’s just clicking at the minute, mainly due to the organisation and tactical ability of the manager.
