    We're not a million miles away from being a good team.

    The Gillingham lineup gave me the fear but we've set up more positively since then and to be fair Parkinson's starting to do alright.

    Good solid end to the year.

    Look at our goals conceded 22
    The best is 21
    And we complain about our defence

    Would love to put Barton’s team to the sword.

    A must needed win, well played lads. If we have a decent transfer window, I can see us reaching the play-offs at least.

    Mid match, Lynch was shielding the ball to let it escape over the touchline when one of Donny's wide players gave him a shove in the back. It jared him a bit and you could tell it caused some discomfort. But on the next Doncaster attack, he put someone on the turf.

    I’ve been hugely critical of Parkinson but credit where it’s due, he got a result I thought would be beyond safc today.

    there really is nowt in this division to be scared of, and I just hope this is the start of safc getting on a roll

    well played the lads and Parkinson

    Has Parkinson got the players onside ?
    Tranmere was a great win but what happened after ?
    Was McGeady part of the problems ?
    We look like we are settling down and improving, can he bring the right players in to push on ?

    Happy with that result, but I'm still cautious.
    Fingers crossed.

    2 games in hand over Wycombe :)

    Fleetwood away
    Lincoln home
    Wycombe home

    next three games. After today my outlook has improved greatly. These teams are nothing special.

    if Parkinson has found the right blend, there are wins to be had again

    Win 2 of the next 3 and we can start to look up again. May help us have a decent january window as well. Good thing for us is there ain't 2 or 3 teams running away with it this season like Luton Pompey and Barnsley last season. The league is so tight go on a decent run and you will be challenging.

    The hard work lies ahead, but the renewed belief is tangible, and this could be the start of an upward climb that we all want and those 4,000 today truly deserve. OaU.

    Seems like he was doesn't it. There was clearly an issue with him and one or dissenting voices can be poison in a dressing room especially a fragile one like ours.

    our best away performance by the commentary. Look at Wycombe and Ipswich falling apart, them top two places are up for grabs. Love to do Barton though as well.

    I want to see more home grown players developed, Hume is coming on leaps and bounds, there are at least 4 others who could do the same imo and these are the players who will, one day play at Championship Level if not higher, and could well be the backbone of a decent Sunderland team, time will tell if we have the manager to see this, the verdict is out on that one for now.
