So, neither of us pulled up any trees last night. However, I predict a more open, cracking game on Saturday. On our board (AVFTT) we've settled on the play-offs now. Have you still got one eye on automatic? Anyway, none of this 'may the best team win' bollocks. A scrappy one-niller to us off Sanderson's backside will do for me. 😉 All the best.

Thought you looked a good side for an hour or so last Saturday
 
I think we'll see a lot of each other in the next month or so. 2 league and who knows what might happen if we both make the play offs. Oh and erm, fuck off.
 
Resigned to the playoffs. In fact going off our last couple of games the play offs aren't even guaranteed. You will beat us easily.

I'm trying not to sound too negative but I'm almost hoping we're put out of our misery sooner rather than later tbh. Gives us a while just to focus on getting the side right for the play offs (hopefully picking a side and giving them a consistent run), and means we're not picking the players up after a last day disappointment or owt. Should give plenty of time for them to get their heads right and, hopefully, focused on going up. Whilst automatic is possible I'll obviously want us winning, but struggling to get too interested in these games against Blackpool which should have been huge
 
For all the hype on here mainly from blackpool fans, the two SAFC vs blackpool games are pretty meaningless now. That said do I get that we need a couple of wins from our remaining 6 to make the playoffs.

Almost past caring tbh. We've fucked it with these last 3 results. Likely need to win every game and highly doubt we'll do it. Wake me up when the play offs start

This tbf. We won’t get automatic now and very tough seeing us drop out of the playoffs. With home advantage not even being a thing anymore it makes very little difference (other than personal preference as to who we play, not even a clear cut best option here) whether we finish 3rd or 6th

It's the Sunderland way that we'll beat you on Saturday, then beat Hull and when hopes are high for the Blackpool game at the SoL...............

Yep. Then lose against whatever crap team we have second or third from last

This totally sums it up for me.
 
It's a meaningless game for us really.

Automatic promotion is gone now and we'll limp through the rest of the games until the playoffs begin.

I genuinely couldn't give less of a fuck until the playoffs now.

I've been following your progress this season with great interest, even calling you "canny" back in December. You're one of the best in the league for me. All the best for the rest of the season. How are young Embleton and Robson doing for you?

There'll be twists and turns. Hull and Peterborough are good but not great and will drop points. Its whether we can get back winning again. Beat these Saturday and a draw above us and it's game on. Haway the Lads.

Settled for the play-offs but unless you win at least 3 games you may not get there. Also important to inflict psychological damage on those teams that you will likely face in the play-offs.
