But people were not wanking over the opposition we beat in our last 2 games. I was wondering if Burton had made some class signings that I'd missed or summit

I know what ya mean mate,I think its to do with their style of play really.The last 20 mins at the mighty mk dons frightened the shite out of me.I would rest the kid ,his weakness at this point in his development is his heading.Alves,Flanners,Wright,Ciskin for me tonight.
 
Been confident in the last 2. Not so much tonight. Let’s see though. No reason why we can’t keep it going. Happy with a draw over the moon with a win

To be honest I think everybody is hoping that after such a good start a win tonight could really set down a marker for the season then there is that big BUT it's Sunderland and all the disappointment of recent seasons... let's all live in hope and get these three points tonight

Yes, that's my point. So they are about the same as us. So again, why wank over burton?

I'm wary also.
This is Sunderland, Remember!
I want so much to be in a positive frame of mind, but they've done it so many times haven't they? Got our hopes up and then reverted to type.

This game will be a real litmus test for us. A positive result tonight and I might just start believing...again.
