It's a weird one this season. In all my previous play off experiences, we have tended to limp over the line and end up playing the form team in the division (Charlton x 2, Palace, Lincoln), however if we manage to hold onto 6th place, we will be one of the form teams (by virtue of winning most of our games) and it might just be someone like Wigan or MK Dons who might fear playing us

Having said all that, this is Sunderland. We never win in the play offs. I am steeled for a 5th season in L1

There are some knows and some unknowns and some known unknowns.

We know we have to win most of our games to make the play offs.

We don't know how many games that needs to be.

We know that we will need all our players fit and battle ready to win most of our games. We don't know how many of our players will get injured.

We don't know how many of our rivals will lose games but we know some will have to for us to make the play ofs. A known unknown.

So what does this analysis tell us... we are in a hiatus between games and are bored?.

But if there are some unknown knowns as well , who knows ?
 
For us to even make the play offs we are going to have to play really well for the rest of the season - generally the team that arrives in the play offs on the back of a good run do well and those that limp in (like we have many times) do not.

If we play well enough to get to the playoffs then I'd really fancy our chances - it's a big IF mind!
