Bimpy474 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I find it confusing when people write Sunderland off after a dismal first half of the season. They've consistently managed to string wins together when desperation has kicked in. While this year looks particularly grim, they are one win from exiting the relegation zone. Because we're not there to roll over and give them their regular morale boosting result ? I guess we'll see. But a lot of people had them dead and buried two months into the season before they went on a winning run. Well they're a lengthy Defoe injury away from oblivion, basically it's that straight forward, If he goes/gets injured they're done. Surely this is the year, surely ? Oh god, that's been said before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 These bastards would still survive even if they went into the last match of the season 23 points from safety and with only one fit first team player available and that player was none other than Jack Rodwell!

But a lot of people had them dead and buried two months into the season before they went on a winning run. Which never got them out of the bottom 3 I know it's a joke but, you're the second person who's said this. They did go from the worst run in a berjillion years at 2 points after however many games to almost getting out the relegation zone. My point is they went from dead and buried to within touching distance of leaving the bottom three. This is Sunderland, this is what they do. They play shit all year and then inevitably escape at the last moment, and that run has made the escape possible again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Not sure they'll go this year but I think this is the most bother they've been in. They look shit, rely on 1 striker to score all of their goals, they've got a crippling injury list, no money to spend and Defoe wants away. I think Palace will survive, they're effectively 5 points from safety (Boro, who are strengthening) and still have to play them away. They're not out of it but are reeling.

Disco Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 even if they do stay up I think Defoe and possibly Moyes will be away in the summer. Defoe has another move in him and Moyes has his hands tied but his reputation somewhat restored to join Midtable Rovers The hope is even Swansea and Hull start to do something.

Altamullan Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It was pretty obvious to all that they were going to struggle this season. Circumstances since have not gone their way. Hull were the other club who looked holed below the water line before they set out. Swansea have been unexpectedly dire. Of the three, SAFC look least likely to turn around their form. I quite like Moyes, (not quite reached Lawrie Mc levels of admiration yet...;-) he seems a decent man and knows what a difficult situation he finds himself in and, frankly, looks defeated. The owners have seemingly chucked in the towel. Even if Moyes and the team pop back into some decent shape/form it will be the greatest escape yet if they retain their place at the top table. Not crowing, but I really can't see them doing so and either way they need new owners pretty sharpish to have a reasonable future ahead. Presume it will be a lot easier to sell as a Prmeier League outfit, but then the reduced price if they are not maybe opens up more potential buyers who may be better for the club and the area in the longer term.
