A trip to Burton always seems to be the subject of a joke when any side is relegated from the Premier League, "enjoy your trip to Burton" and all that. Well, they are above us in the league along with every other side so there's only one way we are going to enjoy this trip and that's to get something. Nay, get a win.

We also discuss the Millwall game, reflecting on what was a battle of the goalkeepers. But which one was worse? It would be funny if it wasn't all so tragic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's over two weeks since the departure of Simon Grayson and still no new manager in sight. We don't appear to be any closer to a decision today either. Not ideal preparation the visit of. Millwall, which we need to win in order to avoid a record breaking 20th consecutive winless home game.

Was Saturday's display at Brentford the most 'Sunderlandy' of the season. The raw from the away terrace that propelled the players into the dressing room at half time was replaced at full time with boos, calls for the manager to go and chants of 'you're not fit to wear the shirt'. The next two home games could be make or break for Simon Grayson. Where's your money? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
