They dislike JR's negativity which is something we never could accuse him of here. That surprised me as well. We did play a lot of counter-attacking football, though - perhaps it's that? I've not seen them play at all this season, but What cracks me up is they want to sack him. What part of their recent managerial strategy of sacking folk every time it doesn't work do they think has been a success (see below)?! Yes, I know we've been through a fair few ourselves, and yes, I bet you can find dicks on the internet who want Kearney sacked, too, but still, my point stands: why not give Ross a second season now that he's had the chance to learn the league? He's going to end up at Hibs with Morgan and Mallan, isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they do it. I would hardly call it self destructing - Portsmouth just above them equally got beat last night. It shows how tough a league it is and the top 2 just won more points (perhaps only 2 wins more over the season) Barnsley also had a large budget and Luton have been on the up for a few seasons and kept the momentum going. They may or may not still make it. Obviously tough gig to call but for his first season in charge, JR has turned them from a team who got beaten regularly to a team who win regularly. The main issue this season was too many draws (including draws against the 3 teams above them the last time they played each other). So he needs to improve defence and attack for next season... I think he will get another year, though if they go up, maybe then they might look for a more experienced manager rather than the other way round - who knows? I really hope they do it. - ME TOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Sunderland 1 Portsmouth 0. Hopefully 1 goal is enough of a lead for the 2nd leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 The fact that Jack Dross couldn’t win automatic promotion highlights that he just got lucky at Saints.Sunderland will shunt him out the door once they lose the play offs and he’ll end up as a TV pundit.

I don't think they self-destructed - they lost by an injury time winner. They will be back stronger next season. Luton and Barnsley were better all season long, better goals for, better defensively - JR if he is still there will improve the playing squad for the next season.... it was a tough league and they fell short. Dundee Utd likewise fell short - they hardly self-destructed either - small margins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I can see Jack Ross being fired now, which isn't something I would like to see at all. Aside from the fact I would like to see him succeed down there, I would hate to see him back up here managing Killie or Dundee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Dundee United spying on Saints Training to get Penalty tips, to Robbie Neilson celebrating match going to penalties then proceeding to miss ALL 4 PENALTIES I would say self destructing is quite apt.
