    They have achieved something. Look at the scenes on Friday. But they haven't achieved their ultimate goal...........yet!

    he just sounded positive and confident to me, exactly what the players would want to hear

    I felt he was slightly overly positive about what we’ve achieved thus far, getting the day out at Wembley etc. It all means nothing if we don’t win. It’s good what we’ve done and uniting the fans and others can say that, the press the fans etc, but bowyer and the team can’t fall into the trap of thinking they’ve achieved anything yet. We have to win the match. 
    Pretty sure Lee knows we have to win.

    Needs to balance the positivity with not putting them under huge pressure as clearly that got to them on Fri.

    I think Sunderland have the capacity to play better than Doncaster and we should anticipate they will.

    I disagree, win lose or draw I think Lee has achieved what this club has been crying out for, for 5 years, and that is, he has united players, fans and the club with a belief that has been stripped away by the incompetence of the owner and the previous management. 
    Againsy all odds Lee, Jacko and the management team have given us a club that we can be proud of again, and for me that is far more important than winning on Sunday. That said I would love to tonk the Mackems 3-0, but you dont always get what you want but you can get what you need. Ahem.

    No
    Thanks , I didn’t know they had other channels 
    listening from IPad 
    Did the Talksport 2 name not drop a bit of a hint? ;):p
    You’re right , I didn’t word that properly there was a couple of other options news and stuff and I’m not good at making decisions! 
    didn’t realise they would have two stations simultaneously waffling about sport couldn’t find talksport 1 or whatever it is called .

    Did he say Vetokele was fit to play? 
    Not specifically.  He said he had 23 players training and no injuries.

    I don’t agree with this. I think Donny are one of the best footballing sides in the division! What I will say is....Donny play very similarly to us....which is why they came close to doing us over. If they had played Pompey or Sunderland they would have got beat IMO.

    For this reason, I can’t predict what will happen Sunday!

    Good mate of mine is a Donny fan, he went to both games.

    Was chatting to him about Donny's recent game at Stadium of Light that he went to. He said it was "men against boys" and that Sunderland "played them off the park". What can you deduce from that? Well, it simply says that on any given day, anyone can beat anyone in League 1.

    It's too close to call and could turn on someone losing their head, a bad refereeing decision, or a moment of brilliance.

     I agree with your disagreement. Of course we need to win but tot say we have achieved nothing if we don't is incorrect. We have re established that whilst the flames have gone out a bit over the last few years, we are still smouldering and there's an inferno there just waiting to be permanently re ignited

    We are both well capable of winning - Doncaster at home earlier in the season was one of our easiest home games - on Friday they looked better than us - comparable to first half / second half against Sunderland - its all about performance levels and tactics now on Sunday - I can't call it and neither can the bookies

    I recall playing Doncaster of the park in our 2-0 win at the Valley earlier in the season. The game is different when the context is different.

    No one tipped too 6, will be a good day out and a great achievement 

    Squad currently all good, not many times had that this season, he’d rather have it this way of having this headache than trying to work in players half fit

    Asked about Unbeaten at home run giving confidence. At start of season, Big thing for him was to bring fans and players together, there was lot of negativity around the club. Have been on journey together since and have made ground a fortress. All fans want to see was players give 100 and we’ve been delivering that 

    Other night the atmosphere was incredible, first time we’ve sold out The Valley in a number of years

    Ground will be full on Sunday, we’ve sold out tickets and no doubt Sunderland will as well.

    Asked about potentially taking on Leeds next year, played down. Jobs not done, players will give everything, fans will be behind us. 

    His nerves all ok. Believe our prep and the way lads training like a normal day, professionalism unreal. Believes in players and then when on pitch out of hands. 

    Will he Try to convince owner? No. That’s down to him. Heard he gave an interview yesterday.and said safety reasons. That’s down to him. I cant control off the pitch and only focused on what happens on it.

    Good work Gaffer, give yourself a promote.
    Walking to the station tapping away on my phone like an idiot. Feared a lamppost incident!
    Station? 9.05am? Lazy bugger  ;)

    Not quite right, I believe you have to take out Fosu and put in Maynard-Brewer. Otherwise, yes, everyone involved.

    ....and a contract. 
    AFKA didn't realize you were out of contract. Will you sign another year or are you on your way to a Prem Forum?
