I think we are significantly stronger this year. How many of that team playing as they were then, would get into this years team?
Getting excited now, doesn't feel like nerves though, looking forward to a few drinks in good company, seeing the sea of red and white singing their hearts out. I have every confidence Alex Neil has the team well prepared and knowing exactly what they have to do
This is it, Haway!!!! Just getting ready to go for the Dumfries train and stage one of the journey. I've no idea why this all feels so different and, frankly, don't care. Over 50,000 Sunderland supporters will be there to cheer on the Lads. That's all we can do. The rest is up to Alex Neil, the players, fate and hopefully a decent referee. I've no thoughts about Wycombe and their horrendous football, we're better and that's why we deserve promotion ... ... Wycombe suit L1, we don't. Let's go
I'm flying in tonight, still confident, as Smug says, this feels different and I can't put my finger on it...felt the sale for both Sheff Wed games.. Come on lads....Lets do this !!!!!!!!
They were 1 place and 1 point below us it wouldn’t be an upset. I’d be ****ing upset mind. Like a poster mentioned in a different post they’re trying to build it up purely on the crowd sizes and history.
i don’t really know what they’re trying to build up , as none of us are buying into it. Alex Neil & his boys certainly aren’t. **** ‘em
Bit envious of those who are travelling today. Be great to be amongst it at TS or CG tonight. Maybe next year , for the Championship Play Off Final............
Headlines mate pure and simple. Their record to get into the play offs was similar to ours except they’d won a game more. It’s a tough game but Alex Neil is a different manager to what we’ve had since relegation.
