Well, after it was indicated that Sunderland would have a more serious look about them at Oxford, the evidence suggested we were anything but. It's a big week for Sunderland as we lead into the final regular league game of the season, so Gav, Martin and Brett got together to chat about bigger picture stuff.

On today's agenda:

• Should we be concerned by the mentality leading into the playoffs?
• There's a real sense of negativity everywhere at the minute, so will a win against QPR fix that?
• The other teams around us aren't in good form either, so how do we judge how things play out from here?
• Did Régis Le Bris shoot himself in the foot by indicating we'd see a more serious-looking Sunderland at Oxford?
• The club are going to need everyone on board for the playoffs, so what needs to happen to get everyone thinking positively again?

Making its return to the historic Sunderland Empire stage in May is 'The Sunderland Story', which had its first run back in 2023 in front of sell-out crowds and standing ovations. To chat about its return and why we all are so passionate about Sunderland AFC and the city, Gav was joined by Nicky Allt (the show's writer and producer) and Ainsley Fannen, who plays the role of Kevin Carter and is a massive lifelong Lads fan!

On today's agenda:

• What is The Sunderland Story, and how did the show come about?
• It was such a success the first time around, so why should people come along?
• The lads then get very passionate about all things Sunderland, winning at Wembley and why we're passionate about the city;
• This is such a special football club, and the show encapsulates everything about why we love Sunderland AFC
