Would be nice to get some revenge for the 5-0 defeat , get at them early on, if Sunderlands defence is feeling generous we could see a repeat of this

Once they have cleared the damage from the fire it will be interesting to see what happens with redevelopment, could be an opportunity for the club to buy more land and change the access at that end.

Crazy thing is you can't do that much with 10k any more. Wonder if the club bought it or just a private collector.

Exactly the focus now should be on preparation for the play offs. Automatic promotion isn't going to happen , we're not getting above 2 of the top 3.

I tend to think goal difference is a good indication of how teams will finish, Leeds is miles ahead of ours , we've been consistently worse at defending than them, 28 conceded to our 45. I conducted a quick survey in the pub after the game on Saturday and not one thought we'd still get top two so looks like we're all preparing ourselves for seeing out the season and having a go at the play offs. Leeds and Ipswich will both win tomorrow night.

20.03 from New Street? Ridiculous that line has so few carriages, heating on too high as well. Good drink up though, weird game, think we were better side but got lucky after conceding stupid goals once again, just got to try to keep it going and stay in the mix. I heard Leicester were booed off , definitely seem to be wobbling would be interesting if they.were sucked back into the pack.

Hope the fans get behind him today though, proper social media weirdos posting that nonsense, I never understood why players have public accounts leaving themselves open to it can't he worth the hassle. Agree with that line up.

Already pretty lively on the train up, beers flowing, football in a library being sung, whole carriage joining in , marvellous

Good point, as selected for TV already I reckon they probably do.

We'll get to give them both a guard of honour and listen to their fans sing about promotion for 90 mins. Hopefully not too many international call ups but we do often lose quite a few of the squad, Brooks will be involved for Wales as well now. Leicester could be rearranged for same week potentially, think Liverpool did that for their league Cup final fixture playing Luton Wednesday before, is possible, but more likely in April I reckon.

I'm not sure you can say that, if we'd actually taken the chances we'd had first half Klopps tactics would have backfired , he's lucky our shooting is so poor.

First half was decent other than terrible finishing, we could have scored 4 easily with someone who can finish. Mara and Sulemana played well up until it came to final ball or shot then wasted it.

Why do you think we will?

Martin Out if we lose Saturday

He's had plenty of minutes recently and has shown he needs a spell in the u21s

Agreed, another game giving away shit goals and wasting chances.

It's poor really, we're in a strange phase where fans take it a lot more seriously than the manager / club. Treating like early rounds of the carabao

They are, Derby are dreadful, good win for Charlton though

Club don't need their approval, This comes from the top, signed off by Sunak

Good, but they can't be going into the last few games not knowing , makes the whole competition uncertain

Will that be concluded in time for this season though? Its a farcical situation

Whatever the outcome at least we can take some comfort in the fact that it can't be any worse than the same round last season

Let's hope we recreate this performance/ result in memory of Chris Nicholl on Wednesday night, all out attack , Dibling as our Le Tissier, Adam Armstrong as our Shearer, sulemana as Rod Wallace

Same for me mate, I was 9 in the 89/90 season and had become full on Saints mad, I could still name that side and recall most of the results mainly thanks to watching the CBS FOX goals of the season video over and over again the following summer, was also a mascot when Chris was manager, genuine top bloke , we had some great years under him and some very memorable games. RIP
