The Lads ground a point away from home against a physical but ultimately toothless QPR as we saw Jobe Bellingham given a straight red and Sunderland fail to score for the first time this season!

What's the crack?

• Still top, just the three points separates us from Leeds but Régis Le Bris has a challenge on his hands and there's a distinct possibility he's genuinely loving the chance to solve this puzzle. We're serious too, the man loves a challenge.

• Wasn't our finest performance of the season by some margin but was it really our worst?

• Shit happens; Bellingham accepted the red with grace after a clumsy challenge in the second half to reduce us to ten men, but he's mint and we love him so aye.

• The Chris Rigg scare is over (we think) and RLB stated he'd be back in training this coming week so that's a relief, but just in case we're without everyone but Dan Neil by Preston, who do we think we'll bring in and how do we approach it?

• We're playing too many away games here like but is it better to get them out of the way early?

• Chin up Jobe. Ha'way the Lads!

Our Gav and Martin return to talk all about the win over Oxford and what the last three wins might mean for the club, look at our match tomorrow against QPR at Loftus Road and basically just... praise these lads. Endless praise aye.

What's the crack?

• How good have we been since returning from the international break? We remain FIVE POINTS CLEAR at the top of the Championship and if we're not careful we might end up in a promotion race...

• WILSONNNN; He keeps scoring, he keeps smiling and Mayenda is returning but will the latter get a look in currently?

• JOBE; The better Bellingham just keeps getting better aye. How do we keep hold of him without promotion? Or Riggy for that matter?

• If at first you don't succeed, Trai, Trai again; Hume is finding his feet again and Patrick Roberts seems in a decent mood.

• RLB and injury; He's calm ahead of QPR and quite pleased with the Oxford result, but Reg has a few injury headaches and a lot more to prove in the division this season.

• Patto out? Aye it looks like it. Can Moore do a decent cover job until he returns?

• Looking at QPR away, trying not to get carried away and so much more!

• Ha'way the Lads!

WE'RE HAVING A LAUGH WE'RE TAKING THE PISS and recording a podcast late at night after a chaotic win over Luton Town to take Sunderland three points clear at the top of the Championship table!

What's the crack?

• CHRIS RIGG OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ; The lad stuck at it after Regis stuck with him and what a goal that was!

• ROMAINE F***ING MUNDLE LAD! He only went and won it for us didn't he the absolute legend!

• Heed the balls; The Hatters threw absolutely everything including the kitchen sink and plenty elbows, as well as a right hook here and there and a tantrum after it didn't go their way. Do we care?

• How did we manage to deal with that bombardment of the box? Mepham and our boy Luke took care of business yet again.

• So aye how do we feel heading into the match against Oxford on Saturday at the Stadium of Light; We can't go and win both our away games and slip up there can we? Of course not…

• HA’WAAAAAY THE LADS!
