    Dennis Wise

    I wonder if we had Wise for the season would we have have been promoted?

    We didn't really hurt Mansfield after the initial stages. To be fair they didn't hurt us but when they scored they had been on top for a while. We never really laid a glove on their goalie.

    Then you didn't watch the same game as me. Just my opinion.

    If our team had done what you accuse Mansfield of doing we would have been applauding them.

    We didn't deserve anything but I am not sure they did either. The quality of the football is dire and we tend to sink to the level of the tempo the opposition set. This was the game I expected but hope it wouldn't be. Anyway on the next match......

    We are putting the ball out of play too often but so are they. Both sides seem to be edging up the field by virtue of throw ins.

    Stein gave us something we were missing and although not prolific chances came because of his presence. Anderson was top dog for a while before Stein and Hutch came and he needed support. It was the lack of goals in 74-75 that hurt us and Milne looked to change things and brought in Cross and...

    We will never know but do you think he regrets letting Dublin leave to play football once he was fit? He stated Dublins attitude meant he had to let him go. He was superb, dedicated and a great guy in the dressing room but needed to be playing.

    Huckerby was a fantastic talent but too easy to read. He had one trick and exploited it magnificently until defenders worked him out. He dropped his shoulder and cut inside and ran. He didn't do well at City or Leeds and found himself again at Norwich in the second division where he was...

    Only three Sunderland fans travel to Checkatrade Trophy match

    Newcastle had a very low turnout at Highfield Road after their relegation was confirmed in 78 I believe. Night game and there were low teens in the kop corner. I can remember a game st Easter 73 when we played Sheffield United at a 3 sided Bramhall lane where we took 1 red house coach and that...

    His replacement at MUFC? Eric Cantona. I don't SAF will think he made a mistake! Do you?

    Tommy Hutchison for me, possibly nostalgia plays a part. He was a great provider and a wonderfully fluid footballer who could twist and turn opponents with ease. From his home debut againgst Man City he was our talisman and made things happen for 8 great years, left too soon and I felt he was...

    It has been said that we struggle against the poorer sides that sit back and are better against the decent sides. It has also been said that This is down to tactics. It maybe that Steve Evans is an astute manager and therefore will have studied our season to date and won't let his team be...

    Dale Evans .......

    Thank you for your considered posts Bawtryneal. I value your opinion and stayed away from this subject for a week until I was called out again for supporting Dale Evans. For what it is worth I do think Nick's comments were ill thought out regarding Nigerians and credit card fraud. Now do I...

    Dale Evans .......

    You can defend an overtly racist and discriminatory comment on here but you can't wait to call out Dale Evans? Well that's the sort of guy you are. The bleating on here about vulnerable fans makes my heart break. Are you that fragile. If he is a fraud then what has he gained but more to the...

    Waiting to see if the guy is genuine is not failing to miss anything. Stereotyping? Well I will join you in classifying something. Racism and discrimination. What don't you get?

    Thank you for the due respect Shmmeee, Clear to you? Clear to the guys on here who know everything? With all due respect you I will hold my fire until I know something,rather than know nothing. One of the key attributes of critical thinking skills is to collate information, analyze it and come...

    Dale Evans .......

    Thank you for a considered response. I can accept your argument and to a point even agree with it. Where I differ is that I believe it is easy to ridicule and scorn a person without knowing the facts and feel that it is better to wait and see the outcome before sticking the knife in. Sadly Dale...
