    And i agree, thats not what i said mate.

    Theres no dominant teams in this league this season is my point. We're all dropping points and go from one match looking great, and the next bang average. Its there for the taking

    So, would you sack him and when?

    What difference does that make, are none of those watching at home entitled to an opinion?

    One team going through a mini preseason and another winning poorly.

    Not that fussed providing we get players rested/fit for the last two games of the season.

    I'll be happy with the below going into the 1st playoff game

    Patterson
    Hume
    Mephem
    O9 (although I'd prefer Ballard)
    Cirkin

    Neil
    Bellingham
    Le Fee

    Roberts
    Mayenda
    Watson/Mundle

    That's a fair assessment, the starting eleven today is nowhere near what we'll go into the playoffs with.

    Am I right that he was the same referee in our only home defeat to Hull so we should have known what to expect , I may be wrong but am convinced it was him and he was even worse in that game .

    If it wasn't for the fact Bristol City play in red, the kit man could put those shirts in the box ready for Friday without washing them. Not one broke sweat today.

    Play Aleksic

    Don't exclude Watson

    Rest Jobe

    All demands from Sunderland supporters ...

    ... all decisions criticised by Sunderland supporters.

    I wanted us to keep Ba, who I think is better than Jones at the moment but ...

    Disappointing day a lot of below average performances. Obviously one eye on the play offs. On the plus side minutes into Le Fee who looked quality when he came on. Roberts tried hard looked injured at the end of the game. A worry about Wilson for me just doesn't seem the player he was a month or so ago. Maybe it's just a confidence issue. Anyway not overly concerned but would like to see the last 2 or 3 games going into the play offs with our best 11 on the pitch injuries aside. Disappointed but we move on to Bristol next Friday.

    TBF, this isn't the time for more injuries or red cards.

    I think if we can get Le Fee up to speed in the middle Isidor will be fine. He gets very frustrated making runs and not getting picked out. Le Fee will do that.
    I'm not worried at all with the last 2 performances. I think the last 2 if not 3 games we'll see who will be starting the play offs.
    Let's just play them the way we know we can

    Totally agree. However it's a dangerous game imo, if we think we can just turn form back on like a tap. Difficult balancing act for RLB and the coaches. I just hope they know what they're doing.

    The bloke next to me, proper guy. Drives in for ages to come, great job.

    Waste of time. Bloody waste of time.

    That was his Craic early doors.

    We need to be better.

    We will be. Today was like a preseason friendly from the first whistle. I'm not concerned

    We’ve taken 4 points off Burnley.

    even their fans think their football is awful.

    4 games left,
    Let’s just enjoy the ride.

    I miss the Wilson with the spring in his step. Hope he and the team can get their zip back soon
