I kinda (eventually) came to that conclusion.
That they are decent defenders but playing to the managers set of tactics.
The proof will be in tbe pudding if a different set of tactics can be implemented without us shipping goals

Sorry, but that?s a load of hog wash. Tactics are the structure by which the team plays, the team has to successfully deploy those tactics which means it?s reliant upon the skills and decisions of the players on the pitch for 90 minutes. The argument here is a simple one, that we are more likely to face a better standard of opposition in league two than we were in the National League, both defensively and offensively. Therefore, without any change, it is likely that our goals scored will be reduced and our goals conceded increased- with hopefully obvious implications. Whilst we?ve changed potentially some of the attacking options in the team, we have not changed any of the defensive options.

This isn?t something new, the management know that we need to improve our defence,, and have stated this in interviews, so I?m not sure why people are getting a little bit upset when this is pointed out. After all, this discussion was sparked by somebody stating that the management team didn?t know what they were doing..

parking & pubs pre match was fine, the problems arose around the ground, no signage for different stands & the stewards didnt know either. as you say the vast majority seemed to be on the night hire with a few sunderland regulars overseeing.
afterwards it was fine, stright out, back to the car park & away.

think every tour will be his last but as next year is 50th anniversary for uk i think weve got one more go at least.
