Well, a long way to go yet and as said above, there’s a number of 6-pointers coming up (must-wins Spanish?😁) but if we do end up in play-offs, we’ll win them👍.
Didn't think Summerville did much apart from the goal to be honest. Rutter had a hand in both goals.
It sounded from the commentary that Summerville was quite effectively man-marked by a Blackburn player called Hill yesterday. He sounded quite handy and was mentioned on numerous occasions listening on LUTV.
But he couldn't stop the mighty midget from bagging another beautifully taken goal, flicked nonchalantly with the outside of the boot, cool as a cucumber. Just. fuqqing. beautiful.
Full on again for Sunderland, please. Have never forgiven Porterfield and Stokoe, so let's turn up the dial and smash'em!
Good solid controlled performance, almost as comfortable as I would like.

Hopefully they wont be involved Tuesday
Great to see you back, Jonty, I have missed your thoughts. This one is contentious:
'I'm not sure all players would make step up '
Do you remember when we got promoted under Bielsa, and everyone said we needed a new striker because Bamford would never cut it at Premier level? A lot of posters are saying the same thing about players like DJ, whose game has improved massively this season. Can he do it in the Premier League? Well, this is the first time we have seen him play for an extended period in his natural position and I am sure there are Premier league teams looking at him, thinking he could do a job for them.
He is ripping this league apart at the moment and is a better player than Harrison was at this level, in terms of his output this season. Harrison is a Premier league player, probably at the right level at the moment. DJ, in my view, is a level above Harrison and, I would suggest, has a higher ceiling, if his progress this season is anything to go by.
As for the rest - Cree and Rutter have the tools to manage at Premier level, but Piroe has yet to really prove himself.
We do make give the ball away quite a lot and rely on our strike force to get us results, and they have been doing this with regularity. In summary, I think our front four could keep us up in the Premier League, given their current form.
Which means that Dyche will be coming in for all of them at the end of the season if we don't get promoted.
...and I didn't even mention Gnonto and Anthony, both proven in the Premier League, unable to get regular time in our first-team at the moment.
