Player Ratings & Comments - Playoffs is the ceiling as Sunderland lose again

I think it would be fair to say this afternoon's loss was different to the previous two in that the Lads can consider themselves unlucky. It was a game generally dominated by Sunderland who came within half an inch of the lead after Aiden McGeady's effort came back off the inside of the post, moments before a blunder from Lee Burge gifted Blackpool three points.

To make matters worse, Hull came from behind against Fleetwood to win whilst Peterborough had already beat Northampton last night, leaving Lee Johnson's men as close 7th as they are to the top two. Mathematically, we are still in the hunt, but reality is we will need to rely on the play-offs for promotion.

Now it is your chance to evaluate the player performances in the only interactive post-match feature for Sunderland fans. We've continued to include Lee Johnson to the line-up (at the bottom) so you can drop a rating and some comments about the manager too.

It's easy to take part, just scroll down and select a rating for each player. Once you do that, you'll notice a comments box pop up which you can use to tell us more about what you thought of that player. Your comments, and ratings, will feature in our round up feature which you can see the latest of here from the Charlton game.
