A Spuds win today puts them above us on goal difference, and whilst I remain delighted to have won our FA Cup game, many warned of the potential risk in key players being injured.

Nuno didn’t risk either Cree or Mavropannas and they were instrumental in their thrashing of Wolves.

Sam Byram (a fantastic servant) hasn’t had a kick as yet this season and now it begs the question in terms of our squad size and quality, will we be found wanting with our current level of injuries.



Have previously stated I believe we have the best togetherness and fight of all the relegation threatened teams, however, I also believe our salvation will come down to how Daniel performs from here on in.

And for myself, I consider we have a coach that is plagued by self doubt.

I still have Spuds (just) favourite for the drop but momentum is huge at this time of the year and we need Sunderland to do us a huge favour today.

Any favours will be greatly accepted, Class, but if we can't get 7 - 9 points from the remaining games, we cannot complain. It's in our hands.

I just cannot see Spurs going down, I think we will drop into the 3rd spot soon enough. Not scoring is a massive nous around our necks.

Here's hoping I am totally wrong.

Agree all the above. It's gonna be bloody close. And we can't score for s***. I'm very nervous. Think spam will be safe. Sunderland need to put a nail in Spuds' coffin. Can't really see Spuds going down, but they need to win games like we need to score.

And neither of us are doing a good job at the moment. Forget Devon and focus 100% on our home games. And yes, Class. I don't give a flying flan about FA Cup.

Sunderland 1, Spuds 0.
Who says they can't go down?

I do, and we have a lot of tough games incoming, JR, coupled with the fact we've gone so long without scoring in league games.

I just can't understand how some of us can just glide over our tough games with a but but but approach, but then when our fellow strugglers have the same type of games it's "ah, they're in trouble because they're playing such & such in the run-in."

We are knee deep in it currently.

Very true, Chris.
