We were not bad first half against Forest, and we gave Pool a good fight the game before.Sunderland are 9th in the home table and have only lost three times at home this season. Even if we were reasonably good this would be a tough game, nevermind in our current form.
Leeds aren't going down. I asked the question months ago - name the team that is going to be that third team ?

Answers ranged from one of the five possible candidates to a few, including yourself that said one of the other five but it wouldn't be us. You wouldn't be more specific. That's a lazy answer , particularly when quoting Opta odds. We were less than a 1% chance. Those odds were ridiculous, I said that at the time and they didn't take into account current form or injuries, just the games left , points accrued. We were already in freefall way back then and at that moment in time , sleepwalking into relegation.
We can't keep a clean sheet , we can't defend , we have a horrendous, unbelievable situation with our keepers , we allow the freedom of the pitch( particularly the middle of the park) and morale is low and some of our players are of questionable character. Oh and we are useless aerially and have very little physical presence and strength.
It's a recipe for disaster that I saw coming a mile away.
Just to add , the way the club has been run the club deserves to go down. The owners board and hierarchy deserve it. It's the loyal, suffering , fans I feel for.
Yes.
Is that similar to Deep shit ? , been there
Still think the Championship would be fun.
Academy kids in the squad, different teams to play, no VAR, no woolwich, no chelscum, no Michael Oliver, no Jarred Gillet, No Alan Smith on commentary, no fucking ref watch with Dermot the goblin.
Agree, I said similar a day or so ago.Don't think Sunderland is do-or-die. If RDZ can get some sort of form firing even after a Sunday defeat we can still stay up.
I honestly think I saw everything to lose faith against Forest, but stranger things have happened.
Better than having a blase , nonchalant attitude. Lange obviously had that as well , hence why we didn't strengthen in January, even came out and said we are keeping our powder dry for the summer. Lol What a moron.
You're starting to convince me and cheer me up. . Keep it coming ....Still think the Championship would be fun.

That’s the spirit, if it has to happen, gotta take the wins.Still think the Championship would be fun.

Not entirely. But hoping in blind faith.Oh dear. Thought for a while its going to need 40 pts, people were delusional thinking a couple of wins would do it. Anyone confident we're getting 10 pts?
