Sunderland v Hull

[Lanterne Rouge]

Mental game!

[TonyTonyTony]

Very talented this sunderland team. Dark horses next year if they recruit well

What a pleasant contrast to the Millwall vs Luton game earlier. An ugly, niggly game full of hoofball and zero skill.

Very young too. They look very exciting and will either win or lose 3-2 quite a lot but the fans will love it.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Pen Hull in the 96th minute!

It really has been that sort of game - it could only end that way really.

Onein is such a shitbag weirdo

Down 'injured' in the box so the pen cannot be taken

[Spudgun]

Absolutely bonkers game of football.

Did he fall off of someone while getting a piggyback?

[Lanterne Rouge]

So, next up, Boro v Burnley who will go up with seven games to spare if they win.

I had a good laugh when the equaliser went in. Certainly the most sickening way to lose 2 points.

Stonewall pen at the end. No idea what Sunderland we’re bellyaching about

The big issue with “recruiting well” is replacing the loans they have…just to get to the level they are at now.  That’s the issue with loans, you aren’t improving your own squad.  Every season you’re reliant on replacing them well to retain the status quo.

I do like Mowbray though.

Yes Preston a good example of this at the moment but pretty sure under Alex Neill they didn't have any. Cannon, Fernandez, Parrot and Delap all PL loans and contributing massively to where Preston are atm. I do think if you carry on bringing in that calibre of player you'll be able to reach top 6 at some point. Derby and Huddersfield squads in recent years testament to that.

One of the worst Championship matches I've ever seen. Two really negative sides
