Dear Roker Report,
What a season we’ve had, and the main thing was to stay up.
Friday night wasn’t what myself and the diehards expected and the reason I’m writing is the fans. OK, when we conceded the third goal the fire drill started. I thought it was ‘til the end, like last season?
I live in Swindon and only get up to four or five matches, and all the games I’ve been to — whatever the score — I stay until the end, like always.
Just to finish off, and regarding where we are and the fans at home in the League One years
and even in the Championship, the stadium wasn’t always at capacity.
The fans that do leave, have a real think: this is your team…Sunderland ‘til the end.

Dear Roker Report,
Yes, we were terrible but it seems like a lot of fans think we’re League One shite again all of a sudden. Calm down, for God’s sake!
We’ve had a bad couple of results for sure but we’ll get a kick up the arse this week and you’ll see a big difference against Wolves. Are people’s memories so short?
Our season has been great — and to be honest, a bit unexpected, yet some fans are still waffling on about relegation! Cut down on the drink, my friends.
Keep the faith. ‘Til the end and FTM forever.

Ed’s Note [Phil]: Hi, Dave and John. Thank you for your letters.
As disappointing as Friday night’s performance and result was, I can’t disagree with the view that the bigger picture is still very positive and that we can certainly end the 2025/2026 season on a high note — and that hopefully starts with a much-improved performance and victory over Wolves on Saturday.
The players that were at the heart of the Nottingham Forest debacle weren’t representing the authentic version of this Sunderland side and I hope Régis Le Bris makes that very clear during the build up to Saturday.
It needs to be a blip rather than the start of a prolonged slump, and I do expect a very strong response at Molineux.
