    We have had some good games agaisnt these TBH. Would be a close game. I think Coventry would pose us more problems actually.

    Burnley were meant to fall away due to being boring…

    <whistle>

    Anyway, a breeze for Sheff United. Wouldn’t be shocked if it finished 6 or 7 nil over the two legs.

    Can't say I have been massively impressed with Sheff Utd tonight. Bristol have been very passive, the sending off has thrown them completely.

    Just my humble opinion

    can see the second leg being a damp squib and maybe even a draw

    Writing off Sunderland, on a Sunderland forum with Sunderland supporters is bound to get a response ...

    ... which is exactly what he wants, why disappoint him <laugh>

    "Just think if they’re near their best over the next couple of weeks they go up, regardless of other sides performances"

    I expect another Sheff U win. Must be a class feeling knowing you’re through before the second game

    The same people said Sheff Utd were finishing teams off and would go up automatically.

    Is that not realistic? They have a better squad and finished 14 points ahead of us ?

    I haven’t just said that for a response, it’s what I believe. They’re the best side in the play-offs

    That's not writing off Sunderland though? We can definitely force them to not be at their best, like we have done this season, but if they are they should realistically be winning the playoffs because of the clear advantage they have in the parachute payments. Which is why it is a no brainer when people ask if we want promotion or not, even relegation puts you at such a clear advantage.

    ... I doubt it.

    Don't you think as a Sunderland fan you have to believe we are the best team in the play offs?

    You know a bit of faith and belief in the team?

    Not having a go, just curious
