We have played away at Sunderland 32 times since the War in all competitions.

We have won 3 of those games: 2-1 in 1986-7 (our first win at Roker Park since 1927-8), 1-0 in 1990-1, and 2-1 in 2017-18. In all 3 of those seasons, Sunderland were relegated.

Sunderland are the only club to have beaten us at home in the league, FA Cup, League Cup and Playoffs.

On the other hand, we did win our last game there thanks to Clayton Donaldson's double.
 
3-0 to Sunderland... sorry to any travelling fans.

Never saw us lose at Sunderland. Two wins (1991 and 2017) and 1 draw (1989). Unfortunately I wont be going tomorrow
 
Another difficult game, but they all are on our current form!! Would be happy for a draw but can't see anything else but another loss . .......... 1-0 Sunderland
 
Tough away game. Shame they've just got a win after a poor run. Probably be one goal in this.
 
And in the desparate need of a return of humble pie servings from Hecky & Co I pray Stoke win tonight and we batter or fluke a win against Sunderland tomorrow.

UTB
 
Did l read that if mcburnie gets booked it's a 2 match ban,however if he doesn't then he's clear for the rest of the season
 

Appears that since the Championship became a 24 club competition, 87 points have been adequate to obtain automatic promotion in two out of every three seasons.

Which means we still need 20 of the 30 remaining points!?! Or basically winning 7 of our remaining 10 games.

Thoughts?

I think tomorrow needs to be a different approach altogether. We‘ve become very stagnant and need to break the cycle of poor performances since Christmas.

Our wing backs have rarely contributed to our attacking threat in this period. That’s long been the reason for persisting with the five at the back, so I’d switch to four with a focus on defensive ability. I‘ve also been very disappointed with the defensive leadership from Egan, as well as his individual performances, I’d drop him for this one.

Norwood has now had three poor games in a row, most unlike him, we need more energy in midfield to screen the defence and link the play. Berge has strolled through games in the deeper central role in the last few games, we need to deploy him where he can make a difference - move up the role he occupied earlier in the season when at his most effective. They also have pace and like to play on the counter, more pace and aggression needed in the back four.

Jebbo must be on the bench, Sharp can’t be the only attacking option if we need to change and chase the game. I also pray that if we do need to chase the game we don’t make substitutions (like against Luton) that destroy any structure in the team and effectively leave us with a line of bodies up front and no way of getting the ball forward - it’s quite staggering how often this happens.

I’d go……..

If chewing gum was a leadership skill than Egan would be the best captain in the universe.

Sadly I don't think he is captain material.

I would start Baldock and make him captain.

Season defining game? Not quite, but a win will go a long way to shutting the doubters up!
Come on the Blades! It’s cup final time! ⚔️
 

It's the Ides Of March - do they have any of our former players waiting to stab us in the back?! 🥺
