AS we reach the business end of the season the League tables have dictated which teams are going to be in the running for promotion, the play-offs and relegation.
Over the coming days I am going to be looking at different clubs who are fighting across these three fronts and speaking to fans of those clubs.
In this article I am talking to Sunderland fan Chris.
What have you made of Sunderland's season?
A total disaster with the real threat of us dropping into League 1.
Has the season lived up to your pre-season expectations and what were your expectations?
Definitely not! I was hoping that there would be investment in the squad and we could challenge for the play-offs at least. However, the owner has had different ideas and not invested at all hence why we are bottom of the league.
Who have been Sunderland's key players this season?
At the start it was Lewis Grabban and Aiden McGeady but now are key players are youngsters Joel Asoro and Josh Maja.
What have been Sunderland's key results for you this season?
Early on I'd say the 0-0 draw with Wolves and the 3-1 win at Norwich. More recently the win over Hull and the two 3-3 draws with Bristol City and Middlesbrough.
Obviously there has been a change in manager at Sunderland with Chris Coleman replacing Simon Grayson has there been an Improvement under Coleman?
Initially yes there was, with us keeping five clean sheets and the team looking a lot more organised. Recently we have reverted back to type and are gifting teams goals for fun.
Do you think you can beat the drop this season?
Personally I don't think we can as I don't see us being able to win enough games between now and the end of the season.
Which three sides do you reckon will be relegated from the Championship at the end of the season?
Ourselves, Burton and either Birmingham or Sheffield Wednesday.
Which sides will go up automatically and which sides will make the top six?
Wolves and Cardiff will be the top two. Bristol City, Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Fulham to make the top six with Bristol City to triumph at Wembley.
