All outfield players celebrating every goal on Saturday and last night is a great sign of togetherness. The simple but makes me proud for some reason to see all the players jogging off at half time, whilst the opposition wearily traipse off the pitch.
Im struggling to sleep due to excitement, wtf is happening! -

Need 18 from 24 minimum in feb. Big ask that
Indeed it is and fatigue and injuries may take its toll playing Tue/Sat. It’s not the end of the world if we don’t make the playoffs and like others have said we’re well set for next season, but momentum and togetherness has never felt this good since arguably Big Sam’s days. I also think Evatt and the board still have designs on the playoffs.

We won 14 of our last 19 games last season and went up. We have 19 games left this season before tonight and with this squad and momentum I haven’t given up on the playoffs.

3 wins ont bounce and one against a promotion chasing team might give us the momentum to turn our season around. Not only did we win, we fucking destroyed them. Evatt was right when he said this sort of result has been a long time coming with the way we play. Just no one expected it against Sunlun. The confidence that will give the players will be immense.
No reason we can't see similar scores to that from now till the end of the season. Whilst it was one of those days where everything went right (7 shots, 6 goals), it's clear to see this new formation is solid as fuck. We hunt in packs, swarm the opposition, win the ball back and break effectively.
Dapo and Charles could be one of the most formidable strike partnerships in the football league and it's come out of nowhere. How many years have we had impotent strikers? Suddenly a skilful winger and a 300k bargain are looking like Henry and Bergkamp up front.
We did it last season and I think it's a harder task this time round in a more competitive division but we should take that victory and use it as fuel to go on a run now and we could fly up the table. Everything is to play for. We may end this season as "the best team in the division."
Sitting in 14th means to reach the play offs we'll have to out-perform the results of 8 teams:
Accrington and Cambridge by 2 points with a game in hand over them. Piece of piss.
Portsmouth by 3 points but they have a game in hand over us. Fuck em. We're better.
Burton by 4 points, we have a game in hand over them. They're wank. Easily out do them.
Ipswich by 6 points and Sheffield by 8 points. Only requires 3 more wins than them from now until end of season.
Plymouth by 12 points and Oxford by 14 points. But have a game in hand on both. It's a big margin on paper but assuming we win our game in hand, it turns into 9pts and 11pts. So need to get 4 more wins than them both.
19 games remaining to better the team in the last playoff spot by 4 wins. It's so fucking on lads.

14 wins from 19 should get us into the playoffs.

Well done Matty, that’s almost as entertaining as the game yesterday.
I never realised how ignorant Sunderland fans are. They aren’t the first big club to plumb the depths of the lower leagues but they seem to think reputation and history means they’re entitled to be at the top table.
Anyway see you in the playoffs Sunderland. -
Just so fucking happy!
Thank You Ian Evatt, the players and the board. -

It’s not the first time either.

I hope Evatt will now stop saying we are the best team in this league. Get the results right first then spout off if you must.

I remember him playing but was too young to know if he was a great player. He played for Bolton and that’ll do for me. RIP Freddie.

I want Derby to survive. They’re an old club with a big fan base. Good luck to them.

All time England players who have 50 caps or more, Greaves has the best goal to games ratio bar none.

Warm words on Friday night football towards Derby County from Neville. Don’t remember him being sympathetic to us when we were in the shit. Grade one twat that Neville.

Mark Robins is quietly doing a great job at Coventry. 2 promotions in 3 seasons from league 2 and he now has Cov 4th in the championship. They were a basket case when we played them in L1 under Parky. I’d think he will be poached sooner or later probably before Evatt.

Santos saying he was contemplating becoming an Amazon delivery driver when he left Barnet was quite telling. He must be fucking loving it atm
I’ll say. He said his last pay packet at Barnet was £390 for the month.
The board, manager and players are as one with the same aim and ambition. Bring it on.
