And in those five matches, we have been the overall better team every time. Not always to the extent that we deserved a win, but we have always at least been worth a draw, and a win would have been fairer than a loss. Yet in that time we have amassed zero wins, one draw and four losses. How are they doing it? Are they a bogey team for us, do they have a special tactic for countering our play, or is it just blind luck? We were unlucky to lose today, but the season's not over. |  |
| They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all! | | Poll: | What hurt more? |

Sorry to bring this up again, but I fear it is a bad omen. Sunderland, the luckiest team we ever play. | |

They are a well-drilled team that play as a team and do not concede many goals. We are often the better team without scoring and having a soft under-belly. Allowing a team to play but not threaten is often a tactic for teams. |  |

Six times, actually. 2 draws and 4 defeats.
But I get your point. We could easily have had 6 wins. |  |

All part of Town having been a soft touch in this league under both Lambert & Cook. Rather odd when Cook recruited a completely new squad. |  |

They got a leg up in both last season’s matches by us having a man sent off in both games. Harshly in the case of Dozzell, Jackson would have done sod all had he stayed on so who would have noticed. |  | | |

Because we’ve been easy pickings for any organised team with a bit of heart. Our players know it, the opposition know it. McGoldrick alluded a year or two back to culture of mediocrity in the club. It’s been that way for far too long. If nothing else changes this season, I hope that does. |  | | |

Bringing in Cook & a whole new squad was supposed to have changed this culture. | |

Probably because most of the time we haven't been the better team we've just flattered to deceive.
Especially early on in Lambert / Cooks reigns, fans thought us just having the ball meant we were dominating. In reality the other team were letting us have the ball because they knew we wouldn't be dangerous in certain areas, then trigger press us. |  | | |
