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?
