Yep, and it’s not the first time we’ve seen this chaos. We saw it in previous games too. I get the impression he just puts it down to a sacrifice we make playing this style of football. I absolutely 100% don’t.

Hahaha. Yes, touch completely off. No positional awareness, just running around. Good times. If you’re any good, you eventually settle down. That was Lyancos problem - every day was there first day of pre season.

Thought I’d give it 24 hours. Nope, still stings. This was as violently comprehensive dismantling of our promotion aspiring squad as you’ll like see - from a relatively good but ultimately functional opponent. Not a Leicester, not a Leeds… Sunderland. Gavin Bazunu and Ryan Manning are a liability. Biggest concern for me is Bazunu, he will cost us 10-20 points this year, i said it at the start of the season. Shame on all the performing seals who clapped their ‘gaffer’ at the forum. I don’t want to hear ‘oh he’ll get better’. We do not have the time to nurse him to whatever his ceiling potential is. This is our best opportunity of having a stab at promotion, let’s not ruin it by playing a goalkeeper who makes the odd worldly save but can’t perform the basics. Manning is such a Martin disciple that he just forgoes any left back responsibilities at all. He’s right out of the Olivier Bernard of positional sense. Our midfield composition was completely wrong. This was a game where we needed a strong, combative midfielder to wrestle control; maybe Charles who could have nullified Ekwah. Instead we had a lot of transient tippy tappers leaving gaping holes for Sunderland to exploit and get at our porous defence. That Holgate debut was something to behold, too. Fuck a duck. Mara - pointless. This should be a huge reality check for the HMS Piss The League neeks. Moreover, this needs to be a reality check for Russell Martin and his own tactical naiveties. Russ, stop pushing your hair behind your ears and start plotting beyond a Plan A. Do something about the deficiencies we can all so plainly can see, every game. And whilst I’m at it, we all admire the honesty and authenticity that you display but it will get tiring very soon if we keep having to hear you say ‘it’s on me’ for the on the pitch failures. I recognise this is in my own industry. Huge respect for those who demonstrate a willingness to accept their mistakes but it does get a little tiresome when those people keep saying sorry and not learning from them.

I don’t ever remember seeing him play so I’ve done the usual YT watch. OK, so… knowing that his only experience playing at this level was last season and we’d just spunked £10m+ on him I had to have a glimpse, see what all the fuss was about. Whilst I do understand it’s only highlights and it’s mostly League One or SPFL stuff I’d encourage anyone to watch the highlights then compare them with an Onuanchu reel and then you understand why he’s cost what he’s cost. Literally no comparison. You’ll also be even more confused as to why we spent £18m on TP. Think of any Russell Martin vid vs the Nathan Jones training video. It’s that kind of difference. Really looking forward to seeing him play for us.

I’ll only rate it if you can guarantee me that I can rubbish it later, maybe 2-3 games time?

Surely with AA being a Geordie and Fraser being a NUFC player and how comically unlucky Sunderland are sometimes should mean they both definitely start? Fuck it, I’m betting on both scoring tomorrow.

Who is this utter mug? Did he expect us to spaff all the transfer money we received? Does he understand basic maths?

That would be the dream. Just keep winning the Championship over and over. Go up once in a while, collect some PPs then do it again and again.

I actually prefer our squad now compared to last seasons.... 🤣

lmfao...

Do Man City have any development players left? I’ve never seen so many leave. 😳

It wasn’t. Adams was never going for a medical. It was never agreed. We told them nope. That was it.

He is…imo

No.

Max Lee GOING BIG again.

This stuff is fucking hilarious. So many chancers guessing and making stuff up. We should all be expecting a weird postbox thing again later.

What is it with their local rag and their obsession with making everyone say how massive Pompey are. They’re fucking obsessed with trotting it out… morons.

Essruu. Wow. Legend. 🫡

Would have been delighted with this signing in the Prem. Great stuff.

Even bigger for us!

Interesting about Roberts, always liked him as a player. He’d be a different kind of winger to what we have. Wonder how many assists he provided for Stewart?

He’s house spotting now. hope they at least sorted him out a ham and cheese panini on the way down.

We wouldn’t loan a player out with one year left. Whoever told Percy that hasn’t done their facts or are pissing themselves laughing that he bought it.

Can’t we just sign everyone we’re linked with on 7 year heavily amortised contracts and deal with the fallout later?
