    There are 15 games left, win on Wednesday is obviously a must but we just need to look after ourselves and see where it gets us.

    Mundle and Watson are back soon, that’s a massive boost, get le fee in the centre with Jobe and have Neil as a 6 and we’re sorted.

    no getting away from the performance yesterday but if one of those two chances we had in injury time went in all these mass hysteria posts I’ve seen over the last 2 days wouldn’t have happened, let’s just see what happens instead of hoping toys out of the pram because we didn’t win

    It's that the DoubleTree by Hilton? We've booked in there. Only downside I can see is it kind a bit of a pain to get to the train station, taxi I reckon

    Yes that's the one. Back in 2022 we got a taxi to Stanmore. 3 or 4 stops down to Wembley IIRC

    I get it that Eustace is unhappy at Blackburn, but they have every chance of going up whereas Derby looked nailed on for relegation. Money isn't everything

    A decent coach will keep Derby up I think. About 8 teams in it down there. Eustace played for Derby at the end of his career. Think he might still have family in the midlands too. Derby wont be paying a fortune, but they will support him in the tfr window.

    Eustace going there will surely derail Blackburns season? At possibly the wrong time

    When you look at all these clubs, quite similar in size to Sunderland ...

    ... it really makes you realise just how lucky we are.

    Our club has gone from a L1 basket case, with a dreadful squad to a respected promotion challenger with a bunch of wonderful players.

    Yes they get things wrong, as does the owner, but I genuinely believe they care about the club.

    They are improving year on year with solid foundations that don't rely on owner input / hand outs.

    Do they care about the club like us fans do? Possibly but they probably care about their investment more and that does cause the odd conflict of interest.

    Do we as fans see the bugger picture? Some do and accept the journey might be slow, some want it all now.

    I've seen a lot of posts on here, otr and on social media throwing in the towel of automatic promotion and even on making the play off final. I don't understand the mentality lt's like some are desperate for us to miss out just so they can say "told you so"

    All season we have seen people playing down our players and team, the fawning Leeds and Sheff Utd are a prime example. The way some people prise them makes them sound like Brazil of 1970.

    Crazy to throw in the towel in top 2 already imo, I'm sure those within the club haven't. On paper we should win 5 of our next 6 games, do that and we'll almost certainly be right up there in the mix again. Throw in a surprise result against Leeds and who knows?

    There'll be plenty of twists and turns in this season, yet.

    Interested to see who Blackburn go for. They are well in the playoff mix so they just need someone to come in and keep them on the same path. I think Rob Edwards could be a good fit, did a similar job when he took over from Nathan Jones at Luton.

    Just noticed Coventry's rise of late. On some run! Defo play off contenders now. Didn't think Frank had it in him TBH.

    Not saying I called it like but I called it! They’ll make play offs, dark horses.

    Bought Grimes in January too really smart business. They’ve got some solid midfield options. Grimes, Sheaf and Rudoni in their system will be class when they’re all fit.

    Convinced they’ll win tonight without conceding
