    To be fair it's more than just one bad result. They are 14th in the form table and just got smashed 6-0 to midtable Bolton. I suspect with all the money they spent in their premier league years and the struggle they had to offload some of their big earners even when they got relegated to league 1 that having this run become worse is something the club can't really afford. Getting back into the Championship and then a few seasons after the premier league is most likely something they desperately need

    Ooopht, gosh, that's harsh.

    It's not that long ago that they panned Sheffield Wednesday 5-0, is it?

    I mean, losing 6-0 to Bolton is insanely bad, and it probably didn't help that ex-player Chris Maguire stuffed them with a hat trick for Lincoln, but wow... that's either extremely harsh or extremely proactive, I guess time will tell!

    Sunderland have been badly hit with covid and injuries,but instead of hiding have continued to play using a patched up side.Seems like that was the wrong decision now,especially for Johnson,sometimes you just can't win,whatever you do.

    Sunderland will get a new man in he will get them into the playoffs they will fail and the new man will be gone midway through next season and the cycle goes on
