I’ll be happy with draw,

They haven’t lost a game after they’ve been in Europe, well according to the bbc
 
Are we REALLY talking about us beating Villa and going sixth in the PL after back to back relegations.
4 years in league 1
Losing at Wembley twice in one season
Jack Ross the draw expert
Phil Parkinson
Lee Johnson
Alex Neil
Tony
Micheal Beale
Losing to pompey, Rotherham and Bolton 4-0, 5-1 and 6-0 in ONE SEASON

Rolling over in a FA cup game to them
Signing will Grigg
Dobson
Power

Are we really being talked about for Europe!


Yes, yes we are and credit to RLB, KLD, KS, FG, SH & Co,

KLD took a club seemingly drifting into obscurity, going no where. Risk of losing everything,

We are a Phoenix

Thanks you could have given me nightmares reminding of all that but instead I will have sweet dreams thinking of 3 points and 6th place!

...The 24-year-old’s strength and aggression make him ideally suited to the rough-and-tumble of the Premier League, but if there is one area where his game can still be significantly improved, it is his goals tally.

For all that Brobbey has impressed this term, he has scored just six goals in 25 Premier League appearances, a success rate Le Bris will be looking to increase as he continues to work with the striker.

“I hope there’s still more to come because he’s young,” said the Sunderland boss. “The final third is now the main target. The build-up, the way he can keep the ball under pressure is brilliant. So now, the last bit is to make him more clinical, score more goals, but the platform is really good.”

“Brian is becoming consistent now,” said Le Bris. “It’s a good sign because you can be strong once, but when you start to repeat performances like that, it’s a good sign. Probably, the connection with his team-mates is getting better progressively as well because you feel that even with a blind pass, you can play [into his] zone and he will take care of the ball. Then you can support, which is really positive to break a press.”

I think a lot of that is to do with a lack of chances being created for him, he's not wasteful and does a lot of the work himself.

Maybe room for improvement position wise and in the air but if we can get the wide players finding him more he'll improve his goal ratio. The bloke is absolutely immense but he needs help.
