Malcolm Dawson writes……I said after the Southend game that I actually thought finishing 5th wasn’t such a bad thing, as I felt we stood a better chance of beating Portsmouth over two legs than Charlton, and that a one off game at Wembley against Charlton was preferable to another meeting with Portsmouth at the National […]

Sixer’s sub’s Fleetwood Soapbox: Sunderland’s season encapsulated in 95 minutes
Malcolm Dawson writes………none of us really wanted to go through the playoffs, even those who would have settled for that scenario before the season kicked off, but for Pete Sixsmith they represent an increased workload. With 46 league games to report on, plus all those cup ties and his twin series of First Time Evers, […]
Sixer’s Sub’s Soapbox: Walsall can’t hold on as Sunderland close the gap
Pete Sixsmith reported windy weather before trotting off to the SOL yesterday and Walsall duly put the wind up Sunderland, who produced yet another shaky start.

Sixer’s Sheffield Wednesday Soapbox: not enough to pass the test but A for effort
Malcolm Dawson writes……..there were plenty of positives to take from last night’s game, both on and off the field.

Lee Cattermole out, another McLaughlin in as Sunderland preparations move up a gear
A commonsense end to a long-serving player’s Sunderland career or a shock announcement few saw coming: two ways of seeing today’s news that Lee Cattermole has left with immediate effect. Cattermole’s departure makes sense because a League One club really should not be paying an injury-prone midfielder a reported £40,000 a week. In any case, […]
