Away next saturday at Walsall and home to Coventry the following week .

Sunderland do not play another league until 3rd april at Accrington Stanley .

Pivotal period for us I feel , if we can and I do say IF we can win them both and create an 8 point gap between ourselves and the mackems physiologically it could make a huge difference .

Sunderland then face 6 games in 20 days .

This is the time for us to put some real pressure on the black cats , scoreboard pressure as it's known in cricket .

Thoughts guys .
