TheScarf Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 He strikes me as one of these new managers who has a philosophy and sets his team to play the same formation and style every week, regardless of the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 If I was Keyes or Nelms I’d be looking for answers on why I’d sanctioned the signings of Johnson and Hemmings with Nelson also at the club yet we only play with 1 striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin.Hood Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 This is class haha A rebuild I'm fully behind, Mcpake I'm behind providing he gets some sort of help. I thought having Nicholl beside would help but clearly not.Anything less than fourth however is a fail for me and out the door ye go Mcpake.Between youth and experience I'm hoping we be okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadow_Jock Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I think, given the circumstances he took over, he has to be given the season unless there's somehow an actual threat of relegation come about February or March. I've seen almost all of the teams in this league now, and we're not the best, but we're not too far off. I do think there's enough good players there to get a decent run together if and when it clicks, particularly going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Just out of curiosity for anyone that was there today, how did Dorrans perform after coming on? I imagine it wasn't a huge contribution, but considering he's not trained with the squad yet I'd like to know how he got on.His first couple of touches were underhit passes which almost put us in some bother which led to a couple of amusing shouts of ‘he’s fucking pish McPake’ and ‘get that c**t in the sea McPake’ etc. After that he played a couple of nice passes in and around their box, looked classy but we didn’t feed him the ball enough. He looks slim and fit which was a relief. Christ knows what the problem is. We are far too slow to get the ball forward. The players are clearly shit scared to play risky, defensive opening passes in case we lose possession which makes the build up ponderous and predictable. To that end Dorrans has to start next week, he definitely shouldn’t be scared to play opportunity creating passes. I’m a bit blinded to Cammy’s limitations but I’m not sure who else can play right back? Byrne needs dropped for definite. Has been a massive disappointment so far. Possibly Gowser too, much as I love the guy his pirouetting slows things down and in front of goal he’s fucking useless. Young McPake looks useful but lightweight - he’d be better coming on against tiring defences IMO. So same defence as today, a midfield from Robertson, Ness, Dorrans, McDaid and Todd (who has been a success in his limited opportunities imo) and perm 2 from Nelson, Johnson and Hemmings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessie james Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Why - he’s being paid a fortune and Sunderland are the draw specialists of League 1. They cannae win a match - and naturally the expectation of a club of that size in that league is huge. Get him in the sea along wae his bum boy Lewis Morgan -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 If Jack Ross becomes available that might speed the departure of the Fat Grass but you’d imagine Ross would rather go to a proper football club like Hearts, Hibs or Partick Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t learned, and we are repeating history. Appointing a young inexperienced manager, backing him significantly, style, tactics and formation is a mystery, results not good enough in the league. Is this McCann or McPake? Im not calling for his head, yet. But if we aren’t sorted by the end of October, then I’d get rid. Backing a manager is a great idea, but only if he is the right manager. There’s been absolutely no signs that McPake is that man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you think United are the best, how can you say you are not far off the best when they beat you 6-2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
