Adam Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 You're 1-0 up at home to Burton in a relegation decider with 3 minutes left and you somehow lose? Awful. Definitely deserve to go down. Wigan promoted today, Luton as well in League Two. Wolves won the league and Macclesfield got promoted back to the EFL by winning the National League.

Just Joe Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 We equalised in the last minute, that decision was changed once Stephen Bywater ran over and convinced the linesman that didn't see anything and couldn't have that there was a handball. I hope Burton go down with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Of course we'd lose to 22nd in league. Need to win our games in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Great win today. This will be a nervy end to the season, but it still looks as though the Playoffs are the most likely scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Big goal in the Cardiff game there. Fulham will be hoping for another Forest goal or it staying level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was the moment that cost you your whole season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCO Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Last two games are away to Fulham and home to Wolves. They were fucked no matter what the result today to be fair. It'd have been worse to get relegated by Mitro, which given his form could have happened next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Coleman is a moron. Honestly don’t know what he was expecting taking that job. Also fuck Cardiff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Burton go down with us. I've seen the highlights now and, honestly, it does look like handball. In fact there might've been two. This has been a complete disaster of course for Sunderland and Coleman clearly underestimated what he was getting himself into..I mean, his reputation was sky high and he could've walked into probably 5-6 Premier League jobs this season but he chose Sunderland and he's now a League One manager, two years after taking bloody Wales to the Euro semi-finals. But this might be a 'good' thing for Sunderland - teams of that stature usually bounce back and come on stronger after a few years, look at Wolves now. Blackburn are doing it, hell Leicester did it a few years ago and went on to win the Premier League, and before that I just about remember Man City down in the third tier and they were back in the top flight within a couple of seasons and look at them now. Plus, the bonus is you get to come to the Keepmoat next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colly Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Without a buyout they aren't bouncing back anytime soon. Am I right in saying Rodwell is still under contract and will probably be earning more in a week than the rest of the league do in a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Sky did point out that he's on 70k a week, comparing his wages to Accrington's last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're in big debt and very much strapped for cash but I will be very surprised if they don't still have a budget that can meet the top few sides in our league. The drop-off from Championship to League One is huge in terms of money, and Sunderland will be able to attract players based on other factors (besides finances I mean) ahead of all 23 other sides. I expect them to be up at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMarrio Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I suppose one of the advantages Sunderland will have too is that they will have the infastructure in place. They've got a huge stadium for that level (obviously won't fill it for League 1 football like but still they should draw numbers that will be at the top end of the division) and they'll have the training facilities. I think Sunderland need to just gut the squad of overpriced and overpaid shite, get new owners who actually care and spend a few seasons rebuilding a team. If staying around that level and rebuilding for a few seasons means a more stable long term future it'll be worth it in the long run. Although I do find it funny that they'll be having to go to Accrington away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In years to come there'll be a plaque outside the stadium showing people the marks his fingernails left as he was finally dragged out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
