How many points will keep us up?

[eamonn]

About time the thread title for this was changed. 35?! If feckin' only!
38 courtesy of two draws and two wins would sneak it for us. Another point, ideally from 3 wins would be nicer.

How about, 'How many points will keep us up?'

Yep. Would be more appropiate now.

38 in my view. Can Sunderland get to 38 with their fixtures?

If Di Canio can get the best out of the players then they will stay up IMO.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

39 needed due to our goal difference IMO.

2 wins and 3 draws and all is good with the world.

Really? There squad looks very average to me...if that.

Although you would usually expect the arrival of a new manager to give them a lift, the combination of the tough fixtures and the controversy surrounding Di Canio might take that away from them.  And if it does, they're fucked!

Looking at his quotes today it seems he is looking to play an adventurous style - Not the time of season to change your way of play - by the time they get used to it it could be all over.

Have they got the players to be attacking?

Without Fletcher, where do the goals come from?

No I don't think they have , might do ok next season after bringing in his own players but with the current side i can't see it .

I'm going to place a bet on Sunderland getting at least a point at Chelsea on Saturday.  The way this season's going and Chelsea's seeming intent to relegate us at every opportunity, it's like buying money.

When John Gregory arrived in February 1998 he got us attacking straight away and results picked up. We sometimes forget these are professional footballers. They are quite capable of change. We just have to hope you are right.

I get what you're saying, but in 1998 Gregory inherited a much better set of players than Di Canio has.
