    No not at all our 3/4/3 against a 4/3/3 gives our defence the extra man advantage according to my reckoning.

    Vowed to have nothing more to do with them this season but I fear I will get lured back in. Anything but a win is totally and utterly unthinkable.

    So our wide midfielders are picking up the wide players in their front 3? That still leaves us with two in midfield against their 3, potentially conceding the midfield to them. So you would have to go direct against them. You'd pick different players, with different attributes, for that than you might do if you were playing a team that lined up 433 or 442, even if you didn't change your formation. Which is what Johnson is doing.

    Really don't know what to say to that.....

    On a side note, there is a coupon in todays daily mirror for £1 off a 12 pack of Tena Lady.

    I doubt you would ever be satisfied. Go and support Man City.

    Received a letter just the other day
    Don't seem they wanna know you no more
    They've laid it down given you their score
    Within the first two lines it bluntly read
    You're not to come and see us no more
    Keep away from our door
    Don't come 'round here no more
    What on earth did you do that for?
    Our aunt, she don't wanna know she says
    "What will the neighbours think, they'll think
    We don't, that's what they'll think, we don't"
    But I will, 'cause I know they think I don't
    Our uncle he don't wanna know he says
    "We are a disgrace to the human race", he says
    "How can you show your face
    When you're a disgrace to the human race?"
    No commitment, you're an embarrassment
    Yes, an embarrassment, a living endorsement
    The intention that you have booked
    Was an intention that was overlooked
    They say, "Stay away
    Don't want you home today
    Keep away from our door
    Don't come 'round here no more"
    Our dad, don't wanna know he says
    "This is a serious matter
    Too late to reconsider
    No one's gonna wanna know ya"
    Our mum, she don't wanna know, she says
    "I'm feelin' twice as old", she says
    "Thought she had a head on her shoulder
    'Cause I'm feelin' twice as older
    I'm feelin' twice as older"
    You're an embarrassment

    We were shocking at the weekend, hopefully it’s a sharp kick in the spuds.

    2-0 the lads.

    I hate to label games as "Must Win" certainly with half a dozen games to go....But....This has a feel of time in the season when it simply is a must win if we have any chance of going up automatically. I'll go further and say we have to win tonight and Saturday, if we do, we have a greta chance

    Surely Hull & Peterboro are thinking this way as well. Who's got the balls and mentality to get it. I think SAFC have.

    I've said a for a while now that Peterborough have a bitch of a last 4 or 5 games and I'm not sure they are good enough to hold their nerve for all these games, Its up to Sunderland to take advantage. Saturday was a kick in the nuts, but right now, its a set back, any more "set backs" will too much to overcome.

    Nervous for tonight. Got a horrible feeling in my gut that these next 3 games are going to end our season.
    Hope I'm wrong
    Maybe my pathetic betting form can help if I stick a tenner on a Wigan victory :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    No forecast from me. It’s a must must win if we still want top two.
    Obviously we have enough to win. It depends on team selection and how the players react.
