How did Sunderland win the Play-Offs

Exceptional as always. Only watched it thrice so far...

"There's one more chapter to write to the story yet. I can feel it. KTF" - @10 Trenches Deep Sorry, due to irrational superstition I was bound from responding to this but part of me really thinks the win was locked in around this point, when we all kind of... knew it was meant to be us?

I remember writing that in reply to you after Coventry. I think all of us were remarkably calm on the actual day though weren't we?

On the actual day?

Wasn't there myself but I don't even know what emotions I was. I'd assumed calm, but suddenly went for a swim to purposefully miss the entire first half so clearly not.
* in Sheffield in fairness to me or I'd of been in a pub, weird vibe winning and it making the city I live in go silent

Right then. Here it is. Too young, too naive, lacking experience they all said. Well the pundits were wrong.

They were also wrong about Sheffield United dominating the game. The first 20 minutes Sunderland were under the cosh, but slowly through a series of small tactical changes Sunderland grew into the game and ended up dominating possession and having almost as many shots and chances as the Blades.So what did the pundits miss and just how did Regis Le Bris turn the youngest team in the Football League into Championship Play-Off winners.

Well come in and take a look and do me a favour; stay 'til the end'. There's a treat to finish with. Enjoy everyone.

Thanks for the effort with this. One question- have you considered uploading these as podcasts?
 
Thanks Trenches. I look forward to these coming out, they’re entertaining and really insightful, and a lol moment with the var text 😂 I share these with my Dad who can’t get to games now snd he loves them.
 
Superb video @10 Trenches Deep. All of our subs were spot on along with the tactical changes that Wilder didn't seem able to counter.
For me Diaz has shown himself up to being a soft twat. Hume took the ball & there was a minor soft muscle collision, he didn't fancy staying on🤷‍♂️.
Similarly Hamer, great player but unfit and doesn't last, you clocked his "lazyitis" in the first half.
10/10 & thanks for your season's work👏👏👏
