No , but then again I am not on the Sunderland forum with an in depth analysis
of the Championship giving the impression I have been to the game.It was also a Sunderland home game , I would have thought you might have made the effort to be there with the other 47,000 ‘die hards’.The defending v Boro was abject and we clearly have too many players way below championship standard.Winning league 1 last season was such an achievement after what went on and its only to be expected that this season is gonna be a step too far for most. Whats needed now is new blood at the stsrt of Jan not the end. Kolo has his work cut out no doubt but if there is 1 club that can turn it around its this club. Up the tics
Very early days to make an accurate assessment. The three promoted clubs might just be still on the promotion high and in time injuries and fatigue will take there toll. I still think avoiding relegation is the main target for the season but ask the question again in the new year and we will see where we are at. In the mean time Latics fans should thank their lucky stars we have Leam Richardson as Manager , he has produced a team spirit which I doubt can be bettered at any other club ,what a result yesterday with ten men for most of the game. What a club Wigan Athletic are , I think you must agree with me Mutty !
I had a look at the 2017/18 championship table. Sunderland took 46 games to amass 37 points and deservedly finished bottom. Its taken 25 games to get there this time, and 11 of the sides from 2018 are still in the league.
I still think the standard is way below what it was pre-pandemic – 3 points separate 4th from 15th. Last night, mid-table Swansea thumped 5th place Watford 4-0. There’s two stand-out sides who will almost certainly be promoted. My tip for the remaining spot is WBA, who seem to have got their house sorted after Bruce failed again. Hopefully you will achieve your main target for the season and find at least 3 teams to finish below you.
Just watched Sunderland batter Rotherham with 10 of the starting 11 who were L1 regulars last season. Yet we struggled to get a point from them at the very end of last season with the same players.
Strange what a bit of confidence can do. Seven games in and I’ve still not seen an opposition side and thought “wow”.
Maybe it was a championship quality squad all along eh SSB?
<noscript></noscript>That’s probably because you have not been to any actual games. Watching highlights can be very misleading. From what I have seen there is a definite step up in quality .
