Wondering when Leeds & Ipswich will drop points again?

We can go for both!

I hope Enzo please figures it out! the fans are with him and his style but he’s got to demonstrate the best version of it with the players he’s got. If he doesn’t have the ideal players there is no shame in using another effective method. Ed need the performances and the points or all that hard work before was for nothing.

We should have enough experienced members of our team to grab the rest by the scruff of their necks and drag them over the finish line. The graft I saw from fatawa and yunus today showed me they care and didn’t want to lose today. That’s encouraging!

so when is the next game we can have vesty & ricky back? With wilf back I think we can rock & roll again

bloody hell Hamza wtf i swear i thought that was gonna be a penalty

Blow the bloody whistle ref!

This team looks knackered. We've gone from playing a superior way to dropping to the oppositions level

cmon nacho man please give us some relief!

getting scrappy now. Fatawu defending like a bloody mad man. Everyone else needs to follow his lead.

KDH today beggars belief. Is he knackered? Why so poor?

is leeds losing yet?

jesus is incoming!

F me somebody go slap winks into next tuesday. he's a bloody liability out there. Mads saved us there!

This tendency to dither on the ball and then try to pass backwards when high up the field is a really bad habit we can't kick. Wink FFS!

great ball by fats and no one gets a touch on it!

Does anyone feel like Enzo should makes some subs and if so who should come on?

WTH is there 2 identical threads for this game?

During our hay days vichai was a constant presence at the ground. Not just in meetings but he was everywhere! Changing rooms, meeting players before and after games, charity events etc he properly led by example no matter what. He still had a global empire to control but he made himself available. Now I don’t know Top and I’m not going to blame him for recent times as I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes. Maybe be we are unrealistic is expecting Top to be just like his dad. Even if he tried to he simply can’t. Just goes to show the magnitude of what vichai did for our club. He was larger than life. Top maybe struggling to lead. It’s a huge responsibility that he’s taken on. Times are now challenging and he doesn’t have the experience of his dad. Only Top can re-engage if he’s lost focus and only Top can reconnect with the fans and the city during these challenging times.

This team has done it before. It’s still Enzo ball but it’s played at a much higher speed and intensity and will be difficult for a team like Sunderland to keep up. This will inevitably lead to many chances which will lead to real sitters which we HAVE TO SCORE! can’t emphasize this enough when we have the momentum we KILL THE GAME OFF than Enzo can slow the tempo down and play more controlled. These players perform better under these circumstances. Get it drilled into all their thick skulls that this is bloody serious so fix it immediately. Bring on the leaders to keep everyone’s heads up. Need to show ruthlessness not pity. I’m sure Sunderland will be expecting a very angry foxes today.

I think Barkley will be looking higher. He’s been playing out of his skin recently

Poor Wilf he’s gonna feel so much pressure to perform at top level right off the bat! Hope he’s ready

WE ARE THAT GOOD! it’s not a fluke that we were cruising at the top this long. We are suffering a perfect storm of tiredness, key players out/injuries, lack of focus, lack of leadership. Poor substitutions, not taking our chances on goals, defensive lapses, mental pressure, not motivated/poor preparation for big games. That’s a pretty big list of stuff all starting to hit at the same time. The team have to dig themselves out of this and they will but it will be tense now until the final game. COYF!

By hook or by crook: ABSOLUTE MUST WIN!

The authorities whoever they bloody are need to sort themselves out first before dishing out fines. Proper bollox with having to roll back points deduction. Doesn’t look good for them. ‘IF’ there is any truth to us being charged I will wait until I see the article on the bbc not the sun. Also, with Everton and Forest still in the muck doubt any other clubs are gonna get sanctioned at this time until they sort those two out first. I know there is no smoke without fire but I truelly hope our club has managed this behind the scenes properly. This is such a critical time we are in fighting yes fighting now to get promoted! we aren’t cruising anymore - those days are gone.
