Looking at our results across the season. Is there any logical reason we have lost the majority of our games in evening matches, both home and away?
Tuesday is a one off game but if you have a look through there is a pattern!

Based on my rough maths evening games thus season account for 31.3% of all matches but 45% of all losses and at home there was a dramatic drop in home performance during evening games - the win rate falls by more than two-thirds compared to daytime home games (from 63.2% to about 20.0%)!!
Nothing to worry about for now but it's been a talking point in my family so wanted to share!
Some of the defeatism on here is a little bit much to be honest. If I was a gambling man crunching numbers, you’d back Sunderland to get over the line but this KO football over 2 legs and weird things happen.
In the 22/23 season our away from in the second half of that season was top drawer - the last game we lost away was in February!
We were in a groove with the perfect counter attacking players.
We've been shite away this season - and based on Friday, have you seen anything that makes you think we can either score two, or keep a clean sheet!?

Sunderland’s home, away and head-to-head against us was poor… they still overcome that and there’s no reason that we can’t.
We’ve won away at Sunderland a few times and they’ll be mindful of that and they have to deal with that whilst having the pressure of maintaining a lead.
It’s the first half of the tie. We probably believed in 17/18 and 22/23 that we ‘needed’ to win at home. We didn’t and overcome strong opponents at home to progress.
