We played our best football of the season against West Ham; we pressed and passed very well. I agree with Garde when he says a win would change things in the dressing room, not necessarily to escape the drop, but mentality, losing has become almost institutional.

What do you think he should have done SH?

pick teams with players who can win games might be a start,
 because no matter who he picks in his back 4 they can all be liabilities,
so you might as well be more positive in the attacking areas as the defence will just keep letting us down

In my opinion it was the first half against Leicester, we played them off the park.

For me too.  Losing the game set the tone for what was to come and Sherwood never recovered.

The rot is much deeper than Garde, Sherwood and Lambert, we all know that, but what has Garde done since he's been here to suggest he's the man to turn it around either this season or next?
Let's face it he's had zero impact so far.

Totally agree. I just don't see him being the type of personality to lead us in a charge for a quick return to the PL. we need someone more charismatic with an understanding of the Championsip.

Like say, Jokanovic at Watford last season? Or Neil at Norwich?

Neither one Mr Charisma, neither one with a single minute of experience in the Championship and both getting their club promoted in less than a season.

throw in Karanka at Boro who is sat top of the table. He hasn't been there long. Paul Clement came in to manage Derby from Real Madrid in his first role as manager is in 2nd Then when you look a bit further, you'll see managerial gems like Bruce, Hughton and McCarthy all managers none of us would touch with a 10ft bargepole, yet they have their sides all in the top 6. You don't need to outstanding to get out of that division, but you need to have a plan and you need to have confidence and momentum.

We defended well but we barely crossed the half way line for the entire match.
Leicester first half was our best performance. Played some terrific attacking football, but of course it ended in tears though.

We were the better side throughout against West Ham. Leicester came out stronger second half and our second was against the run of play.

As an aside I am struggling to think of a visit to Sunderland where it's been warm and dry.

Given what's happened since Remi came in, was sacking Sherwood a waste of time? Not saying it was, but just putting it out there.

FWIW I think relegation was inevitable regardless of whether Sherwood or Garde was here.

Lets not have any revising of the truth about Sherwood, we'd all like to say thanks for keeping us up and getting to The Cup final but he showed in his short time here that he was even more of a chancer than Lambert. A cockwomble of the highest order......

I think it was one good thing we've done all season to be honest with you.

Sherwood's signings were Richards and Gestede by all accounts and he wanted Adabayor (damaged goods) and Andros Townsend nowhere need the Spurs first team. We would still have been heavily in the crap with both of these. I still put a fair amount of blame for our position at his feet (although Lerner's malaise and decision making (Lerner/Fox) is the main cause)

And he wanted Lennon. And stuck 2 fingers up at "the transfer committee" when they let him choose Lescott.

all this  Sherwoods picks and commitee picks is a load of bolocks as well, Sherwood himself said he agreed with every signing we bought in

Throwing people under the bus is just internet speak for something you know nothing about

I also reckon that Sherwood had the national media eating out of his hands is a load of toss as well, if truth be known they probably think he's the same egotistical tossbasket we think he is,
And as for his 'friends' in the game, fuck me if we know he's a twat it's a sure as hell they do

They players not being fit enough is definitely Sherwoods fault, regardless of what the likes of Collymore say.
