After our previous game at Birmingham on October 19 which we drew 1-1 we were third in the table with 26 points, a point behind QPR and Blackburn. Our record stood at P15 W6 D8 L1 F25 A13 GD12. After the first 45 minutes at the Stadium of Light we went in 2-0 down and seemingly headed for defeat. I wonder what was said in that dressing room. Whatever was said we came out in the second half and ripped into the Black Cats scoring four goals. It kick started a remarkable run in which we have won 12 out of 13 league games scoring 30 goals and conceding just 13 (and 5 of those were at Bramall Lane in our solitary loss during this barnstorming run of victories). I can hardly visualise such a total dip in form that we fail to go on to win promotion. If we were going to falter it would surely have been on Friday night against a physical West Brom who were on an impressive run themselves. We now head to Portman Round for an FA Cup 4th Round tie. I am sure VK will want to progress as far as possible in the Cup until we meet another of what he has termed “the big dogs”.
