Marosi - 6 Dabo - 5 Mason - 8.5 Mcfadzean - 8 Rose - 6 Shipley - 6.5 Westbrooke 7 Kelly 7.5 Jobello - 5 Bakayoko - 7 Hiwula - 7 Subs Eccles - 7 (A very, very promising cameo).

Would’ve been a travesty if we’d lost that. Dabo and Jobello were our weakest players. I thought mason was outstanding. Josh Eccles looks like hes going to be special.

Not sure people have said that others are categorically wrong...just questioned. Don’t let the bastards drag you down!

Well, people have announced on this forum that they won’t be watching cov outside the city etc so I think by the very act of doing so opens it up to scrutiny. In the same way that people who announce they will be going can argue their reasons for doing so. Isn’t that in part what a forum is...

Most aren’t blaming fellow fans for not going to home games. Though Personally I’m struggling to understand the rationale of ‘away games only’. It feels like people are making a stance...that, to me at least, defies logic. Ultimately though, it’s obviously everyone’s choice.

We can possibly blame Preston for that? The timing for fans isn’t the greatest but I expect the squad have known he’s going off for some time.

Sounds like a plan!

I’m being a bit lazy here but what seems to be the consensus on the pre/post match pub?

Really like him. If he fulfils his potential you've nabbed a bargain.

And you know what...you're absolutely right! I'm looking forward to this adventure.

Yeah I am. A comprehensive win will sort things out.

I’d love us to follow up on our Jobello and kastaneer signings with another continental ‘super star’, that none of us have heard of.

Yeah but can he play alongside hiwula?

Judging by the disappointment expressed I would say ‘yes’. Some you win, some you lose. Isn’t that the nature of transfers? I also think that saying we should have held on to Chaplin is a bit strange. We doubled our money on one of our substitutes...and I liked him!

“I’ve bought a ticket for an ‘all you can drink’ canal trip to the next home game...”

I reckon.

It’s certainly something to be celebrated. Despite, or perhaps because of, all the shit we’ve endured we’ve managed to create an identity as a club that produces and hones young talent. Often local talent too! Good work cov!

Yeah, they’re both on my bucket list:- - see the northern lights - read ‘staying up’ - watch Sunderland doc - eat a croissant As an aside @Rick Gekoski is there any chance you could write a sequel? Maybe an accompaniment to the Sunderland Doc? You could call it ‘staying down’.

Likewise. It’s been gathering dust on my shelf (along with a few dozen other books) for the best part of 20 years. Maybe this will be its year! Nah. Why can’t we try and get a Sunderlandesque Netflix doc made - not that I’ve watched that either. With all our off field shenanigans it’d be far...

That’s right! I also remember the club owner was described as being pretty shady to say the least.
