Interesting article from John Byrne about Poyet's appointment in today's Argus. Seems he has his doubts that it's a good appointment.

Amuses me no end that people like Beach Hut open a thread knowing what it's about and then get arsey about it :lolol:

Is there any chance that you might become a Sunderland fan? You do seem to think more of Gus than you do the Albion

Will TB even contemplate selling players on long contracts to Gus' new club?

I'd agree with most of that re the actual match but I said before kick off that we should have been more attack minded. Gus went a little negative in my view, hoping to pick them off, and underestimated Zaha, who in fairness hadn't been anything special in the previous two matches. I really do...

You won't hear a word against Gus will you? :lolol: I'm just really interested to know why the team really didn't seem to be as up for such a massive game as they should have been. Yeah maybe they did freeze but maybe things going on in the background had an effect. It's not a dig at Gus.

Could his mind have been elsewhere on the night? Is it true he turned up just before kick off? Did his discomfort get through to the players? Of course he didn't throw the match but it is possible that he was very unprofessional in his approach to that game, had something happened since the...

Blimey, that's the first post I've seen that paints Gus as blameless.

That depends entirely on how good the current defenders are at Sunderland and if they can take on board the idea of hanging onto the ball. I imagine a Premier League player is going to take to it much better than a 3rd division defender without many ball skills.

One thing he can do very well is tighten up a defence, that'll be a start. Expect a few draws in his early days there. This is assuming Tanno joins him

Whatever Gus is off the pitch, he is a bloody good manager on it. He'll do OK if he gets enough time to implement his style. May take a few games but he'll get there.
