I doubt we've got much of a chance now. We lost our only striker for the rest of the season. Got quite a few other long term injuries to key players. Been a bit unlucky in that respect. It's a really exciting young team though with some amazing talent in there. With a few additions in the summer, who knows! We'll probably lose a couple too though.
Yes, life without Ainsworth must be strange for you guys after such a long time! Fingers crossed for you the new manager settles and gets you up too!
Thats awesome! Really makes me smile to think you were at the same game. Yeh I have never been to a football match where there was such a good atmosphere between the two sets of fans, even on the Wycombe forums afterwards we were saying how we would be following Sunderlands results the next season and hoping they would win. I love Akinfenwa! I have met Gareth Ainsworth but never Akinfenwa.
I think we will struggle to make the play offs this season, will be an amazing achievement if we do especially with losing our manager mid season, like you say its a very tough league. Do you think you guys have a chance of making the championship play offs? I would love to see Sunderland back in the Premier League its where they belong
Oh I was there too! It was my eighth time there and first time seeing us win! There was a lovely atmosphere between the two clubs and we were getting congratulated by your fans too! Your manager was also very magnanimous in defeat and we all (I think) have a soft spot for Akinfenwa. It's arguably a tougher league this year and you're doing well to be up there or thereabouts. Playoffs again?
Thank you for your lovely words and sorry for the late reply. I've just found where my notifications are (doh!)
Yes Ive always felt the stick he gets is unfair too, he sticks to his principles.
I like Sunderland, watching the Netflix doc made me really feel an affinity with the club. When you played my team Wycombe in the play off final last year I was at Wembley and the Sunderland fans were so nice to me afterwards, they all kept coming up to me when they saw my Wycombe shirt and shaking my hand and saying well played and bad luck. Nicest group of football fans Ive ever met
Well done James McClean for putting it out there! I think he's very brave. I'm a long term Sunderland fan and I've always felt the stick he gets is unfair. It's a shame what's happening at Wigan on the whole at the moment. I hope they turn it around and it'd be great to see James doing well too.
