Mackem board in meltdown!!

To be fair despite 30 odd goals for Wyke they still don't rate him. He's definitely not the answer and no Ivan Toney of league 1.
 
I know it's all about opinions but.....
Their fans have had nothing good to say about Wyke or their keeper (Burge).
Yet Wyke has 30 goals and Burge was in the Division 1 'team of the season'.
I just hope our analytical team digs down a bit before they start signing players that sound 'good on paper'.

Looks like rumours we were after their keeper have been quashed with the signing of Lumley (y)

For Sunderland fans... Wyke is no Dennis Tueart and Burge is no Jim Montgomery.
 
Yes been on there and basically it’s full of comments you would expect our messageboard to look like if we put in such a performance. Probably mirrors the one after the Villa play off game.

Anyway comments about poor recruitment, poor attitude, poor strike force etc etc. It’s all depressingly familiar stuff. Could be us in a few year time. That’s the stark reality.

Its when you look at Sunderland , Wednesday , Bolton and Derby you realise how lucky we are to have Gibbo . Like anyone human he has made mistakes but blimey the man is a solid reliable guardian of our club and it’s name 👍

I actually wanted them to come up. Just so I could moan about the 2k ticket allocation based on police advice. Then give them 4k when they come to us 😕

Just getting it in early lol

Never understood this, surely you want to be involved in games vs Newcastle and Sunderland. There’s just something about Derby games that have that something extra.

Sunderland is NOT a derby game - in their eyes. There has been countless threads on their board- normally generating dozens and dozens of posts- at pains to point this out. The empty heads thinks we are mortally wounded by such accusations and claims.

It’s a derby, everyone but Sunderland fans describe it so. For Middlesbrough fans games such as Leeds Newcastle and Sunderland there’s that extra something. Surely these are the games we want to be involved in
 
I'd much rather see Lincoln in the Championship anyway having family down there it would make for a delightful weekend away. Sods law, it would be a Tuesday night in November, mind.

Looking at their board they don't rate any of their players yet they managed to finish 4th.

They must still think they are a Premier League side as I've seen a few comments saying how their squad is now a League 1 squad... well yes, it will be their 4th season there come August.

They obviously have some good players (for that league) to be where they are, it just sounds like they think they're above everyone else.

Yes very lucky to have gone from the premier league to a bang average championship team that’s completely skint in five years, mainly due to his bad decisions.
 
In the modern game, they are pretty much where they belong. In the last 64 years they've spent more than half outside the top flight. Even when they have been in teh top flight they've been a very dour team. As a club they are now a bottom end champo, top end league one club.

If they carry on being so badly run they'll have their rivalry with Hartlepool .

They’ve been about the same as us in the league. Finished 7th I believe, which is about in par with us

Agreed, I'd say if anything slightly below, both teams have been badly run but lets not forget Sunderland were one of the absolute giants of the game, They were top flight for the first 68 years until their first relegation, winning the league 6 times nobody had more championship than Sunderland at that time.

They're like two different clubs the first half was a giant of the game, the second half a giant joke.

Even in the modern era of foreign stars, I can't think of many players that I would have got excited about signing for us. They've had no Juninho's, Boksics, Vidukas, no players that a neutral can say, 'what a player, I'd pay to go watch him alone'. They haven't even had any Geremi, Ziege, Ricard level of players
