As I've said before I don't accept the majorities view on here that Alex Neil has credit in the bank and that he's young and learning on the job as a reason for him being immune from criticism.
Today showed for me exactly how naive Alex Neil is and ultimately it could well cost us our place in this league. Big Sam has been round the block seen it and done it and it showed today compared to our wet behind he eats management team. Neil played right into his hands and with the help of some very poor individual performances from some of our senior players (bigger wage earners too) in Bassong, Naismith, Mbokani etc. we got schooled without Sunderland ever really having to go full throttle.
It is however not over yet and there will be twist and turns yet. I fear the worst especially with the news of Klose being out for season as we have no leaders/organisers at the back but then again I did not us getting a draw against Man City or a win at West Brom. Whatever happens it's not going to be for the faint hearted and you can rest assured we never do things the easy way.
