    He knows we've not been totally dominated by any top club this season ...

    ... we're capable of scoring at Leeds and Meslier will get plenty of stick from our support.

    We know exactly how Leeds will play, they won't have a clue about us.

    Yet there’s a small group suggest he isn’t good enough.

    Outstanding numbers them. Huuuuuuuuuuume.

    I’d have to disagree mate, if one team has dominated us this season it’s Leeds, how we nicked a point is astonishing.

    however beating Leeds at elland road and losing our unbeaten home record to hull in the same week could not be more Sunderland if we tried

    They didn’t though, did they?

    We outplayed them early and their equalizer was offside. They then got on top for a long spell but we did push back at end.

    We absolutely were not ‘dominated’

    That's a great record and part of what O'Nien contributes to, Hume knows he can go forward and he'll be covered.

    We had sustained periods in that game where we were well on top too. We’d run out of steam when we got lucky with that goal but it was far from a one sided affair.

    Could definitely see the lst bit happening though!

    We are in the mix because we are a very good team. Just watch a few of Connor McGilligans (Leeds you tuber) you tube videos. He is exceptionally full of praise for us. And constantly says in his opinion we are the second best team in the league.
    Of course that means nothing but it does show that neutral fans are aware of how well we are put together and the truth is we have a free shot at this as.

    Leeds are a good team and had some good spells in that game but never looked like running away with the game imo.

    Their second goal was totally against the run of play and we'd taken the game to them.

    You only have to look at the stats, especially the corners, 8-1 in our favour.

    We'll score tomorrow imo, after that who knows.

    Doesn’t make any odds mate. The statement was ‘if one team has dominated us’.

    We also have to battle time wasting, teams sitting deep and defending, and teams overloading midfield to stop us playing at home.

    That won’t happen tomorrow they will go for us.

    Don’t be. This game isn’t the season. We always had this one down as ‘dropped points’

    We are still in it even if we lose tomorrow.

    Had a dream last night Sunderland went up automatically and Isidor was the leagues top scorer. Chucking money on it today so apologies if he picks up an injury that rules him out for the rest of the season tomorrow
