    Should win at Portsmouth on Tues now but we are Sunderland ! still the top 3 to play so in our hands Peterborough to draw with Hull, Ipswich to beat Donny if we win at Peterborough or Hull we might go up. 48 points to play for 30 will get us up. if Jacket leaves we should go for Marquis straight away.
    Donc have oxford, accy, Peterborough away, Donc vs Peterborough

    People were talking about an emergency loan and putting a debutant in just a few weeks back.

    Don't let it bother you, I'm just complimenting one of our players, not having a go at people.

    Time to leave that attitude behind us or we'll never progress ...

    ... Danny Collins just said the same thing as I was typing.

    Why hate saying it? In my opinion he is a squad player and nothing more. Deffo not my 1st name on the team sheet and not captain material. That should go to Sanderson when we sign him in the summer hopefully.
    Wright or Willis would be better captains imo.

    He's come back really well since being dropped. That's the sort of reaction you want. He most certainly should be left there......can't say the same for McFadzean. He'll cost us points.

    If we get Wright and Flanagan back, would love to see 09 back in midfield with Scowen, but if necessary he may have to fill in at LB. Unless we play 3 at the back, of course.

    We have to have faith mate.

    We have a really patched up side and we keep grinding out results when other teams are failing.

    This is starting to feel like the Third Division season when we never gave up no matter what happened ...

    ... just believe and it will happen.

    Give it a rest man, you just want arguments and I'm too happy to oblige people like you.

    Just enjoy the win instead of focussing on what I say.

    Would solve a lot of problems imo. much better than arguing about whether McFadzean is better than Vokins.

    Don't get all hot and bothered mate, I was simply pointing out that people are happy with Burge now and have been for a while, in response to you saying that we should leave him to settle now. No drama required.

    Scowen takes some stick off a few people but when he came on today he did well.
    Showed up Winchester who has been a real disappointment for me.
    Would like to see Scowen in midfield with Power(maybe Leadbitter) and Onien

    We've just won and are now 5 points off top.

    Your only posts, after the final whistle, are a dig at the team and two digs at me ...

    ... step back and think about it.

    You're the drama Queen, I'm a very happy Sunderland supporter.

    Give it a rest man, my comments aren't directed at you no matter how desperately you believe they are.

    Just enjoy your night and ignore me, I'm not worth it.

    Winchester looked like he will miss a few games to me - when he went off.
    Play a CB (Younger) at CB and push O'Nien further forward.

    Reading the posts, it seems another ugly win?

    I will settle for that in every game till the end of the season

    I hardly had a dig at you or the team, think you're building that up to be something it's not for some reason.

    I'm as happy with the result as anyone. Only a few points away from automatic is brilliant and I think we're going to get it.

    Reminiscent of us a couple of years ago. It’s all very well having games in hand, but you’ve still got to go out and win them!

    I think we should be sticking with 3 at the back for the rest of the season

    We have plenty in midfield in front who can cover and play as wing backs
