Who turned on them?
Who turned on them?Piss poor from our fans. Right behind the team when all going well, turn on them at the point where they need the support the most
Today showed that we won’t make it in the autos race.
This is not even a melodramatic post. The players don’t have the mentality, fight, passion to do this. Been evident for months.
If this is how they want to perform at home then there’s no chance for the rest of the season.
How on earth will these bunch of players be up for a battle with Boro?
Lampard you’re to blame as well as you’ve persisted with some nonsense tactics, formations even when we started the downward spiral. Don’t use injuries and fatigue as an excuse. You should have tightened us up over the last few months.
If you can’t beat Oxford who are awful at home in a promotion run in you don’t deserve anything. We don’t have any away form.
Too many so called big players picking up a wage for little return. No urgency, passion, creativity… nothing.
We won’t be going up through the autos and we haven’t a hells chance in winning any play off battles.
It’s a shame as this is the once in the blue moon chance to get out of this league. But it’s ending in a worrying style.
The problem of trying to hold on to what we had.Still top, massive set of games coming up - atmosphere was fucking tragic today btw.
Ticket prices are astronomical and the orange haired clown and his cronies leading the nation will make it for a toxic and poorly attended tournament imho. Fans are threatening to boycott it and I don’t blame them.The 2002 bottle job was something like 1 point from last 8 games.
you off to Dallas for opening England game mate?
Why do we persist with the useless tactic of crossing the ball into the box, where we have no-one capable if winning a header. Wright has a head like a 50p piece. No threat whatsoever.
They got plenty of support today.Just not enough to support the team when they need it the most
Fair play to the fans booing, spend our hard earned money to watch players on thousands a week play utterly patheticPiss poor from our fans. Right behind the team when all going well, turn on them at the point where they need the support the most
I feel the same way but the defeatist attitude, by fans and players, is absolutely no good for anyone. It’s still there for us…somehow. But players have to step up.
Thought I was the only one after reading all of the replies in the match thread.
We played better than we have the last few games and looked more solid with less spaces everywhere.
Up front we were rotten but that seems to be par for the course with us. Our forwards are either scoring every game or doing jack shit.
Outside Sheff Wed at home where we might nick a 0-0 draw, we might up losing all the remaining games at the rate we’re going. I don’t think 60 points will be enough for a playoff place.
They were shite.We were playing Oxford. We looked more solid because the team we were playing didn’t try and attack all game.
The question should be, when we had two big strikers on the pitch why didn’t we do it more? All it needs sometimes is for someone to make the first contact and the ball bounces kindly in the box. We didn’t put the ball in enough in the last 20 minutes.
We look very capable when things are going well, but fall apart as soon as some pressure is applied. My fear now is that we will slip into the playoffs and bottle it when we come up against a team with some momentum. (As Sheff utd did last season)Today showed that we won’t make it in the autos race.

What momentum did Sunderland have?We look very capable when things are going well, but fall apart as soon as some pressure is applied. My fear now is that we will slip into the playoffs and bottle it when we come up against a team with some momentum. (As Sheff utd did last season)
It is gutting.2015/6 all over again - but worse!
Said it before, in that season people were saying the same things when the writing was on the wall.
"We'll be fine"
"It's not over yet"
"There's still 15 games to go"
" We've got X to play and if we win we'll be Above them"
Last 15 games, were middle of the table - average Championship plodders.
What makes people think it is going to change!?
It hasn't last week, the week before, the couple of weeks before that, a month ago, a couple of months ago .....
It’s not just the squad suffering from a fragile mentality looking at this forum.There's definitely a fragile mentality within the squad, IMO. It feels as though we didn't recover from the defeats to Ipswich. We're now reliant on Sheff Utd doing us (another) favour.

A an 85th minute winner at our place,What momentum did Sunderland have?
Can't disagree with that!It’s not just the squad suffering from a fragile mentality looking at this forum.
They'd been in free fall prior to that in the league.A an 85th minute winner at our place,
A 120+2 equaliser (tie winner) at theirs the blew the roof off the place and shattered windows round Sunderland - a never say die belief after that.... Then a goal for United disallowed....
They had mentally prepared and in effect went on holiday in the regular season to put all their energy into the play offs from about January/February time. I suggest we start doing similarWhat momentum did Sunderland have?
They weren't -They'd been in free fall prior to that in the league.
They had fight and didn't bottle it even when they went behind. They showed they can win ugly when the game dictated it.What momentum did Sunderland have?
is that the barrel scraping we’ve reached, really?What momentum did Sunderland have?
Their league form was pretty shocking at the time.They had fight and didn't bottle it even when they went behind. They showed they can win ugly when the game dictated it.
Can you honestly see us winning a game when going behind just lately? A month or so ago I'd say yes (Leicester at home for eg) but in the last month we have looked frightened to death, weve been dominated by Norwich and QPR and couldnt beat Oxford who are one of the worst teams in this division.
Middlesbrough will 100% fancy their chances a week monday, if they put us under pressure we will fold.
I don't.I didn't boo but I understand why people did.
But they went into the playoffs rested and ready for the fight. While we looked fuckedTheir league form was pretty shocking at the time.
Erm.But they went into the playoffs rested and ready for the fight. While we looked fucked
Just look at Wright's performance in the play off games! And the way we failed to defend a simple near post corner at the death.
A mid-season getaway to reset the team’s focus and morale may not be such a bad idea.They had mentally prepared and in effect went on holiday in the regular season to put all their energy into the play offs from about January/February time. I suggest we start doing similar
