Don't care what competition it was, the performance or owt like that.
WE HAVE WON A TROPHY AT WEMBLEY WITH AN ACADEMY PRODUCT SCORING THE WINNER!
HHHHHAAAAAWWWWAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!
That is the worst defeat in the club's history, 6-0 against a team in the third tier who were 15th going into the game is as bad as it gets.
We've no fight, if anything at all goes against we down tools and completely give up.
That is completely unacceptable.
Alright, I think that's enough of Jack Ross for me.
It's not just about results or today's defeat, we don't have a discernible style of play, we never look motivated, we can't defend and we don't create anything.
Can't go up with this slow, cowardly football.
We were a class above Scunthorpe who finished 5th last season and it's only the new manager's fourth competitive game in charge. We also have Wyke, McGeouch, McGeady, Sinclair, Watmore and Flanagan to return.
Going to be some team when we are no longer a work in progress
Despite having reasons to be optimistic, 37 points is a pitiful tally for what is a Championship with very little quality. So good riddance to most of those senior players, don't let the door hit you on the way out - apart from Rodwell, I hope the door knocks you out, twat.
An actual home win, a good team performance, another clean sheet, a young lad scoring the winner on his league debut and out of the relegation zone. Chris Coleman has made such a big difference.
Love the effort from the players today considering the manager throwing them under the bus yesterday, just couldn't get the breakthrough.
Again though, waiting too long to make changes has cost us. Started looking leggy and the opposition being proactive with changes swung it.
We now have more wins against Premier League opposition this season than Newcastle United and have scored the same amount of goals in four fewer games.

I thought the worst when that useless ref sent Ozturk off but we worked our socks off after that. Could maybe have won by more with 11 men but can't argue with a 1-0 win.
Long live The King.
Absolutely shattered and lost my voice but what an afternoon.
Fully deserved to not only win that but to go up.
Everyone was class today but a special shout for Corry Evans, thought he ended the season in immense form.
A day that sums up Sunderland, a player embarrasses us off the pitch and then the team embarrasses us on it. There's just a lack of professionalism and pride throughout the club.
We played some dross in the Premier League but at least that was against teams with world class players, we are doing it now in League One at home to a team who haven't won away from home in over a year, last week at home to a team who hadn't won all season.
Embarrassing.
Could see that coming with the way we were playing, it was absolutely set up for us to be sucker punched.
Beale has made us far worse, not only with the results but the football is absolutely abysmal and dreadful to watch.
Jobe played 90 though so the club will be delighted.
Felt like a proper Sunderland defeat that. Start off well, take the lead and miss a few chances to make it 2-0, then fade, run of ideas and lose late on.
Got to the last four though, top effort. 👏
Man City could equal the longest-ever winning home run by an English top-division side against Liverpool this afternoon... 👀📊
The current record of 24 successive home wins was set by Sunderland in Dec 1890-Apr 1892. ⏪
Tobias Hysen announces that he will retire at the end of the season and has a little message for
@SunderlandAFC
"To Sunderland
Thank you for the time we had with each other
It was brief but fantastic
I will always cherish the experience of being far from home
Ha'way the lads!"
We've completely undervalued Jack Clarke. I've no problem selling him this summer as it probably is as high as his value is going to get while we're outside of the PL but £15m+5m is farcical considering the sell-on due to Spurs.
Relegation form continues.
I don't understand why Phil Parkinson was even in charge for this game - or why he is being allowed to determine the future of our players - his appointment was clearly a mistake and the decision should have been made some time ago.
Five goals, a clean sheet and a Will Grigg goal? It really is a new era!
Early days obviously but that was a performance and scoreline that was just not possible under Ross. We actually looked hungry to keep scoring all night and the clean sheet was never in doubt.
Really good performance that, like night and day from last week.
McGeady may have got man of the match but Wyke looks a different player now he's fit and had a run of games.
Will Still spoke on Monday with the leaders of Sunderland, potentially looking for a head coach, to present a project to them. The Belgian, who initiated the contact, is very interested.
#SAFC
Someone at the club came up with the idea to deface our own stadium and not only did no-one speak up and say 'no, that's a fucking stupid idea, it will turn the entire fanbase against us' but they went ahead and actually did it?
Pissed away all good will for a few extra quid.
What a performance that was, so much for an unhappy squad! We worked unbelievably hard off the ball but we showed how much quality we have when we're in possession, Southampton were lucky we only got 5.
Absolutely fantastic by everyone!
Not bothered about the result, we're a League One club. Not going to win the cup so when we go out is irrelevant, it's all about promotion and the game on Sunday is the important one.
Promising signs but, again, we need Wyke fit and another striker in.
That was not us at our fluent best but maybe the best we've been tactically all season, nullified Leeds, always looked the more threatening and fully deserved the win.
Not going to suggest Dodds gets the job yet but we've been superb in the last two games.
Whoever comes in now not only has to get us promoted but they need to be able to handle a step up to the Championship too, something Phil Parkinson clearly wasn't capable of from the start.
We completely wasted an entire year with that dinosaur in charge.
We were playing a team who had one win in 18 and got beat by Southend at the weekend, yet there was ZERO reaction to our recent results and no urgency at all.
Dreadful, basic football. No threat or creativity, easy to play against and quite frankly a fucking embarrassment.
Easily the worst we've played all season, as if it was a league game we couldn't afford to lose rather than a free hit cup game. Nowhere near brave enough, didn't play our usual game & just looking to contain until it became 2-0.
Missed Patrick Roberts badly today too.
A day before the window closes and we're on the verge of signing Relegation on a free transfer. Got to thank Ellis Short and Martin Bain for making this signing possible.
We may be relegated to League One but I'm sure our owner will dip his hand into his pockets and ensure that we're only there for one season. Just like he did for the Championship.
The American investors close to taking control of Sunderland are thought to have recognised the potential of the club from the Netflix documentary Sunderland 'Til I Die.

CONFIRMED!
Sunderland Academy product Lynden Gooch has signed a new contract with the club, keeping him here until at least 2022. Haway

He won us a trophy and we were playing better football (at times) than we have done for a long time but the inconsistency was too much.
We could have been well clear but the differences in some of the performances, from game to game and even half to half was mental.
@mwalker2771
Ipswich paid a lot more for Omari Hutchinson, Jack Clarke is a much better player, has the sell on due to Spurs and is also worth far more to Sunderland than Hutchinson was to Chelsea. It should be instantly rejected.
When we went down, I guess a lot of people thought I wouldn’t fancy League One & couldn’t wait to leave.
I was actually in two minds and had Chris Coleman stayed, I’d have gone...
I was one of those who got Sunderland into this mess so I want to do my bit to get us out of it
Sunderland have the 44th highest attendance in the world this season and are one of only 5 clubs (along with Schalke, Hamburg, Hertha and Kaiserslautern) to be in the top 50 but not in the top flight.
#SAFC
What a way to start the season, amazing atmosphere at the end. Really is a fresh start, conceded early pen, had injuries problems but didn't give up and actually scored a late winner! HAWAY!!
What a class performance considering the terrible pitch and the disappointment of Sunday, thoroughly prrofessional and brushed what could of been a difficult opponent aside.
Strength of the squad played a huge part and a great little cameo from Sterling.
Another class, hard fought win. We seem to have finally got to grips with the physical aspect of this divison and six points from two difficult away trips when not playing at our best bodes well.
Unnbelievable display from McLaughlin, those two one-one saves were tremendous.
Absolutely fantastic game by all involved, blew Wednesday away with ease and were miles above them.
Finally got a striker on the scoresheet but that was spot on by Le Bris, completely out-thought Rohl and it shows how close we could be with one or two additions.
Almost the perfect performance that. Just that one moment when they equalised but otherwise the best we have played, looked better going forward and a blinder by Maguire. Joint top now too.
Dellightful.
Poor football, poor substitutions and poor result but to be expected with the worst manager we've ever had.
Even with the lack of expectation going into games under Parkinson, he still manages to disappoint. Which seems to be the only thing he can manage.
Quote from Mendy's agent: "Alex is still determined to join Sunderland, there are about ten days left, we will not give up, our determination is intact. We remain positive and we are counting on the new management to unblock this situation."
#SAFC
Another defeat, two more goals conceded but some actual football played today, with a lot less hoofing. Not a bad performance considering how many players we are missing and the fact Coleman's only been in charge for a couple of days. I'm optimistic.
Mowbray: "Ross spoke to me today, he is hoping by the end of September, it is around eight weeks away.
It'll be really exciting to see Ross back on the pitch. If we can get him to play 20 to 25 games for us this season it will be really interesting to see how many he can score."
Probably our biggest game of the season so far and we completely brushed Portsmouth aside, never had to get into top gear but could see the confidence flowing.
Good results elsewhere too, just two points off automatic going into Wembley weekend, haway!
Regardless of which way that went, if we want to look at it as a measuring stick against an established Championship outfit, we matched them despite plenty of changes.
But a QF! HAAAAWWWAAAYYYYY
It shouldn't take until we are 2-0 down at home before we played with a bit of speed and attacking intent. Have to start games like that rather than trying to control the game at a snail's pace.
Dunne and Baldwin were shocking today, don't look a good partnership at all.
Not even going to bother with analysis, we all know how bad it is right now.
Phil Parkinson needs to leave tonight, I don't care whether he's sacked or resigns, just go.
Pretty much a perfect home performance. Overwhelmed the away side early, got the game won. controlled the game and only complaint is that we didn't score a few more.
Gooch has made a big difference since he came back and Maguire looks inspired.
So much better.
His position at Sunderland is untenable regardless of whether he takes over at Stoke, we can't accept a manager speaking to another club less than 24 hours before a game.
He's gone.
Alex Neil in transit to Stoke for talks. Told he held a meeting with the squad this morning & explained situation. Senior players have made it clear to club owners they want the manager to stay. Neil will hold face-to-face talks with Stoke hierarchy upon arrival

What an effort that was, massive blow to lose Stewart but our performance today was class. Not clinical enough but we caused endless problems and defended great.
Genuinely a joy to watch this young team and can only be proud of them.
