Malcolm Dawson writes: with the entire Salut! Sunderland editorial team at the game today, things are running a bit behind. Indeed rather than the usual text Pete Sixsmith‘s seven word verdict was delivered verbally in the car as we queued to get over the Wear Bridge. M Salut and I, in adjacent seats in the East Stand, were also somewhat under the moon at yet another home performance which, although showing some positives once again came up short against one of the sides from which we really ought to be claiming three points.

Sorry but 50:50 is generous at this juncture. We’re up against it.
I may be radically changing my view after Norwich if we flop again.
Couldn’t fault the effort , just the application . Toothless up front and the fact that Altidore was a huge improvement on Fletcher just showed how bad he was. It’s probably going to go to the final whistle of the final game, with results needing to go for us. 50/50 chance in my view.
