This is one of the 4 I've been told
If it's true has the manager lost us a possible automatic promotion by not playing his strongest team?

Just checked the playoff dates if we make it to the final won’t even be able to go playing Man United we are on the same day for goodness sake.
I can’t believe this like surely it has to be changed???

Why would it be changed?

The majority of Sheilds fans are also Sunderland fans not Newcastle.
Makes sense surely Sheilds will acknowledge this and ask for the game to be played at 7:45 or on the Sunday - they could do as they would be at home.
To which their opponents would surely object. Why give them an even bigger advantage with more support there.

I want Shields to do well and sometimes go to games but I’d rather watch Sunderland every day of the week.

Yeah same here but it’s extremely annoying to miss by FAR their biggest game in modern history.

2 wins from their last 7 games. Really poor at this stage of the season
