Note From the Gaffer

(always prematch briefing information is from BBC Sport)

Sunderland manager Ricky Sbragia:
“Everything we spoke about they put into practice against United.

“Now we need to carry it forward into the Hull game.

“We need the same energy, commitment and desire. We have six games to go and we need six big performances.”

17th 32 points
Highest achievable after Saturday’s matches: 14th
Lowest could fall: 17th

So what do I say? I think the Black Cats, need this more than Hull. Yes Hull has had great moments in the EPL, but it’s time they go back where they belong, the Championship. With that being said, if our strikers play like they’ve been (crappy) then this is a loss. And Quinn can send back Cisse to France.

But do I think that’s all going to happen? I hope not.

2 Minute Drill *Official Prediction*

Sunderland v Hull

Ricardson 44,
