Sunderland now have 13 league draws this season (we have 7 while Tottenham have 0) including eleven 1-1 draws!
Since Boxing day their results have all been binary

Unbeaten in 9, but only 3 wins. That's not promotion form, some fans are starting to get restive...

Its not how many you lose, but how many you win. Would have been better to win 6 & lose 6 than only lose 2.....but then draw most of the rest.BR3red said:Lost 2 out of 30 and only 4th

6 x 3 = 18
6 x 0 = 0
= 18
12 x 1 = 12

them game in hands that meant Sunderland are nailed on for promotion are starting to be eaten away
doncaster and barnsley are pretty rampant atm0 -
Wish they’d had a 1-1 on the opening day!6

I can imagine the owners of other league one clubs are delighted to see Sunderland, Portsmouth and Charlton all start in drop down the table. Keeping the three biggest clubs in league one next season would be a bonus for everyone else.0

Luton and Barnsley look strong for the automatics now. Wouldn’t fancy us in the play offs against Sunderland, Portsmouth and Donny.1

Not always true. If those losses were against promotion rivals (e.g us or Luton etc) then they would be worse offgolfaddick said:

Think if we want to face Doncaster in the Semi-Finals then we'd need to get 3rdcafcfan1990 said:Luton and Barnsley look strong for the automatics now. Wouldn’t fancy us in the play offs against Sunderland, Portsmouth and Donny.
Reckon we'll end up in fifth and so face Portsmouth with Sunderland waiting in the Final

Thank God Doncaster played a full squad against us in the cup. They’ve gone to pieces since then.9

stay in playoffs 25% chance of promotion, not the outcome we wanted but what go back a season and a half ago we were looking at potentially playing league 2 football, if we dont not go up this season then a completely different sqaud and manager will be wearing the kit next year and relegation could be a lot more of a certainty.1

I'd fancy us against those 3 to be fair. Well, with Grant and Taylor up top I would have. Let's see how we look on Saturday with Taylor back.cafcfan1990 said:Luton and Barnsley look strong for the automatics now. Wouldn’t fancy us in the play offs against Sunderland, Portsmouth and Donny.2 -

Easy to see why their boss said if he could have one Charlton player it would be Lyle Taylor.killerandflash said:Sunderland now have 13 league draws this season (we have 7 while Tottenham have 0) including eleven 1-1 draws!

From a betting perspective I always go with a previously relegated team to win the play offs, as they normally have the biggest squad size.0

If Gooch hadn't whacked Pearce and forced him off, we probably would have clung on for the drawse9addick said:Wish they’d had a 1-1 on the opening day!0 -
I'd say Doncaster is he team to avoid at the moment … they will be a major test in a couple of weeks time .. but of course things change so quickly in this League .. whoever we play (if we make the play offs and we surely will) is surely secondary to how we shape up against them .. we've nothing to fear except fear itself (who said that ?)cafcfan1990 said:Luton and Barnsley look strong for the automatics now.

Lets hope they are rubbish at penalties, nailed on play off final!0

We are getting to the business end of the season. It’s all about who is the form team from now on in that counts and less on who has been the form team. We basically know why our form dipped over the past three games, Lyle Taylor was suspended. We just need to start over again from Saturday and keep going.2

digressing a bit from the Mackem 1-1s .. the Fylde flyers are looking more of a threat as the season goes on .. Blackpool and Fleetwood that is0

Hopefully Doncaster wil have another FA Cup tie after beating the stripeys.Lincsaddick said:

15 points from 9 games ....... that's nevertheless a tidy return from a team out of form.killerandflash said:Sunderland now have 13 league draws .....

Remember the old adage about successful teams playing poorly but still picking up points?
Don't underestimate them. They are not getting beaten; Confidence and morale will still be high.
It's a sound platform to build on should they finish the season on a winning run.
Anyway, Bowyer talks about his 9 game blocks and target of 17 points.
By that reckoning, he will think Sunderland are only 2 points behind target - and won't underestimate them.

Never mind Big Bad Bob, that string of results is almost a Russell Slade wet dream.Mr. Happy said:

Cabbles has been spreading the word of "consolidationism" to the North-East ...

No they haven't (obviously), but Portsmouth and Sunderland have shown a marked slide.masicat said:Thank God Doncaster played a full squad against us in the cup. They’ve gone to pieces since then.2 -
It will be interesting to see how we do with Taylor back. My assumption is that we will find winning easier again. Then we have to hope we have him fit for the play offs. I think Fosu needs to be on form by then too to give us a good chance. That is if we make the play-offs.
Sunderland's results are a bit strange - they score every game, but they only score one! They don't concede many, but often concede one! I would expect to see them scoring 2 more often and conceding none more often too! Maybe it has become a bit of a psychological thing for them.0 -
Why will their confidence be high when they keep drawing all those games ? Every time we draw it feels like we’ve lost.Oggy Red said:

They're not losing games though ...... they've won 3 of them, and the ones they've drawn, they'll feel they should have won most of those - and will look at situations like Grigg rounding the keeper and missing an open goal, feeling next time they'll score it.letthegoodtimesroll said:

Confidence drops when you're truly struggling, getting beaten every week and never look like getting anything out of a game:
That's not Sunderland right now.
