There isn't any , and that's the problem.
I'm pleased this was a bait and switch because I was ready to wax lyrical about the sheer lack of pressure
It's okay having games in gand, but not so good when you HAVE to win them. Same goes for Rotherham.

So that's what we have to do. It looks hopeless but it isn't. We have to reset, get some wins and see how they react when there is hot breath on their necks.

Over to you Alex and the lads. Get on with it, leave nowt undone, and give these mental, amazing fans something to shout about.

You will be staggered at what you might get back.

This is a really good point tbf. There's plenty of games left. Get off to a winning start and we are capable of putting a good run together.

Concentrate on winning our games and feck the rest of them I don’t look at other teams games with the if we win here and they drop points there, what will be will be. If we win ours then we will be promoted

I agree with some of that but I always look at other results in our league ...

... cups are different but other results in leagues do matter.

As long as the players concentrate on our games I don't mind speculating a bit.

this squad is more than capable of putting a run together and this time not suffer the bad streak, pressure is more or less off us atm and on the rest.
Yeah, I agree. Best to lurk behind the front runners and make your sprint when the post is in sight.

I said a couple of weeks ago that the next 5 games (before we play each other) could be season defining. Wigan are doing thei bit by dropping points, unfortunately we have failed to take advantage. Had we done it right we'd be 4 points ahead of them and suddenly their games in hand become "must win"

Alas, there is Sunderland in a nutshell. I fear we'll never get out of this league
Cheer up, mate. We’ll get out of it - may take a few more years but it will happen. (Just kidding. I really believe, with Neil at the helm, this will be our last year in this depressing league.)

This is the way we have to think. <ok> OaU
 
Surely the cup games they still have to play will come into effect. Semi of the pizza cup and if they win that, the players could have one eye on Wembley. Then there's the FA cup games with trying to rearrange all the games before May. I don't think they have that big a squad and all those games will take affect somewhere down the line
