funny how fans lap up the narratives trotted out to us every season. What was it last season? And how are Sunderland doing this season? Most competitive Championship league EVER this season isn't it? just a coincidence. |  | |  |
| Three points off second. on 23:04 - Nov 28 with 1379 views | FrimleyBlue | How much has it improved though overall. Going into December and still playing like strangers each game isn't great. Sure weve got results thankfully but surely there should be signs that overall every aspect is improving. I dont feel it is and that is a concern no? |  |

There's areas to improve no doubt. But I feel like some supporters just thought it was going to be easy and we'd walk the league. It's the championship! Somewhere in the 00s you started to see 'fans' of top PL teams watching Super Sunday in pubs in replica shirts. Often Arsenal. When the team didn't win or lost a game so they would only finish top 4 or something you'd often hear them say things like ' x is *"!* or 'the whole team is ,*"#**' Whole teams and international players written off as *#** by fans who had no idea how they came across. The entitlement. Fear we're heading that way with some fans. Same lot who think the amount of money spent on transfers is the bottom line for everything. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Happy clappers obviously have a new excuse for everything Even when we got relegated to L1. "Good time to reset, clear out the deadwood, going on a L1 tour" blablabla |  | |  |

Didn't look too slow in opening 25 mins. I think we're what KM keeps saying we are. A group coming together with a lot of players adapting to the league which is new for them. And adapting to KM's way of playing. |  | |  |

So in your opinion throwing top dollar at useless players is OK? Entitlement? All the £££ we got for being promoted is being spent on players that are mostly not fit for purpose. If we can build a cheaper, leaner squad who can perform just as well or better than why not? How much did the Boro squad cost? Stoke's? Cov's? We already look like the 24/25 ManUre of the Championship. What next, end up like Leicester, having a transfer embargo, breaching FFP, points deduction or going into administration when Gamechanger decides to throw in the towel like Chansiri? |  | |  |

I'm not sure that would even get into the top 200 games of dross I've seen us play. Cmon. You watched the game. We were in control for long periods. We lost to two sloppy goals. It happens. |  | |  |
| Three points off second. on 23:17 - Nov 28 with 1216 views | jas0999 | We should be challenging for first place. Miles off. Highest paid manager in championship - should be doing much much better. Well off the pace and embarrassing to lose to a really really poor Oxford. Anyone thinking we’ve invested hundreds of millions for this … deluded. |  | |  |

The returning acceptance of this drift back into mediocrity, last seen under Paul Cook, wigs me out. You are clearly very content with our progress this season, after we went down without even a suggestion, even a hint, of any fight whatsoever last year. For clarity, I absolutely am not content, far from it. 2025 has been, in the main, a woeful year on the pitch. We have beaten those Norfolk pricks, which has been, by some sizeable difference, the highlight of the year. There really isn't much more. The kindest way I can summarise this is to state that your views on this teams performances, and mine, are very far apart indeed. |  | |  |

'Players that are mostly not fit for purpose'. Matusiwa? Jaden? Clarke? 'Useless players'? Think how that sounds. |  | |  |

We didn't have a shot on target in the first half for all the ball (almost 80%) we had. You're ultra positive, admirable I guess but from where I am, just notcseeing the real picture . Each to their own. |  |
