I do think there was an instruction towards the end of the first half to ‘take a breather’ and control the ball. Likewise after we went 4-1 up. We turned it up again when Oxford pulled one back and Allen and Godden were brought on. Robins managed the game very well and to be honest, we...

Godden does work tirelessly and anyone who watches him play (properly) cannot deny that. It’s all about the deliveries, as good as COH and Palmer were today, there were times we pondered on the ball in the final third and let Oxford defend with 10 men behind the ball. Allen comes on and we’re...

Godden is straight up a better finisher than Gyokeres and probably even players like Wilson, Wright and so on… Ask yourself why he doesn’t score as many goals as those players. As for today, great goals the second in particular was a slick finish. However, we we playing a side 4-2 down and...

I seen a few of these dotted around and was on the lookout for some. The club has played a blinder tapping into the demand for retro jersies. Now, some more iconic kits from the Prem days would see the club take more of my money.

Thankfully, MR would disagree with you.

You’d think the club would do a cost-analysis. I agree with you. I loved both of his goals as they showed real class and they were the best chances we created today. On a side note, credit to Jamie Allen today because we looked a lot more direct in attack and helped end the game on a high. At...

That was a great game, but today we were verging on taking the piss at times. We were very assured!

Let’s get another goal early in the 2nd half, kill the game off and rotate. We definitely took a breather for the last 15-20m of that half. Overall, we look good and in control and showing the gulf in class between L1 and Championship.

We don’t know what COH’s demands are - if he wants silly money then you have to draw a line and not cave in. It’s too early tell whether or not this is a purple patch or not. I really rate COH, and his G/A output has improved after his injury. However, I don’t think his overall impact on games...

That had Gyokeres and Hamer in it. Who were 2 of the very best players in the league. That and Allen played mostly as an AM last season in the box - not in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

The 8 is very much Hamer and I wouldn’t let our recent good form cloud that. Of our midfield options, who would start for playoff calibre teams? Eccles, Allen and Sheaf are all solid but our not game changers in the final third. How much better would this system be if we had a player like Hamer...

Weren’t we pursing both Brekalo and Kitching towards the end of the window? If we’re recruiting for the long turn, we will need a CB in the summer to replace McFadz and Binks. Whilst it’s not our most immediate need this window, if good players become available and at the right price, we’d be...

Que Serra, Serra… The journey we’ve been on so far has had a lot of ups and downs! It’s no good looking back and it’s, buts and maybes when we’re in the position we’re in now! Robins leaving to Huddersfield and coming back for a second spell was ultimately a mutually beneficial thing. Clearly...

I disagree with the notion that COH is the ‘heart and soul’ of the team. He’s done really well to come back and improve his output following a nasty ACL injury. He’s also clearly a well liked member of the squad and it’s nice to see he’s built a bond with players like MVE. That all said, I...

Thankfully, you’re not in charge of recruitment. He strikes me as a player of yesteryear. That and his wages will probably be above what we’d want to pay.

Hamer would fit perfectly in this new system. I generally believe had we kept him, we’d be a top 4 team. In this new system, our CMs have freedom to push forward, they have wide players and overlapping full backs to aim for as well gives us a lot of options in possession. I do think that...

Personally, I think it’s a systems issue rather than a personnel one at this moment in time. First half against Middlesbrough, we were playing too safe in possession at times and not advancing the ball. Lo and behold, Simms isn’t involved in the game. Second half, we play balls in behind the...

Why’s that a good thing? Weren’t we (as a fan base) moaning that SISU barely communicated via these kinds of channels way back when?

For that to happen, Sunderland would need to finish above us which isn’t happening.

Top 6 if we recruit well this window and stay lucky with injuries.
