A year in the Championship? It'll be fun, they said. We'd win lots of games, they said. We'd not be hanging around the bottom of the league stinking it out with our shitness, they said.

Love how they were singing that bootboys chant they stole from us just before Cardiff scored where they sing 'We are the loyalist football supports the world has ever had" while their stadium is practically empty after 90% of their fans stopped going once relegated :lol::lol::lol:

 

And they have called us the deluded ones :lol:

cannot speak for other people but horses for courses, in our position Grayson would be my choice, yes. Benitez is a cheque book manager, that is why you are struggling. Relegation scraps are not his forte and imho he cannot work on a shoestring budget, which Grayson seemingly can

How many points did we have after 9 matches?

 

EDIT: 16

Drew with Villa this weekend last year, should have won it and saw the game out. In the midweek game coming up we beat Norwich 4-3 with the two injury time goals. We were well on our way towards the top at this stage of the season.

Oh dear... 'Lawrie' Grayson

Thought I would 'classify' and colour code Sunderland's fixtures (Aug & Sep) according to finishing position last year of the opposition: treating the top eight (including two relegated sides) as RED (least likely to beat), next eight as AMBER, and remaining seven (including promoted sides) as GREEN. Opposition sides moves up or down a category depending if home or away, i.e. if playing a RED team at home it becomes an AMBER fixture; and a GREEN team away becomes an AMBER fixture.

 

Whilst a bit random, it should give, based on last year's form/squads, a sense of how well they should be doing at the end if Sept given the relative difficulty of the start. So:

Derby H points predicted: 1 Got: 1

Norwich A predicted: 1 Got: 4

Sheffield Wed A predicted: 1 Got: 5

Leeds Hpredicted: 2 Got: 5

BarnsleyA predicted: 2 Got: 5

Sheffield Utd H predicted: 5 Got: 5

Nottingham Forest H predicted:8 Got: 5

Hull A predicted:9 Got: 6

Cardiff H predicted: 12 Got: 6

Ipswich A predicted: 12 Got:

Preston A predicted: 12Got:

Presuming on average the points total for an average Championship side would see three points for Green games, 1 point for Amber and 0 for Red. 12 points by end of Sept would signal mid-table mediocrity. Less = trouble ahead. More = on course for top half.

There are 5 out of 16 Red games, 3 of 15 Amber, and 3 of 15 Green games. So relatively speaking more difficult first 11 eleven games.
