The Black Cats defeated the Championship side on penalties in the fourth round to advance to the quarter-finals.
Sunderland are the only League One outfit remaining in the competition and of the remaining teams, only two sides are from the Championship, making it possible that the Black Cats will come up against Premier League opposition in the quarter-finals.
Fans are speculating about who they may be paired with, and Paul wishes to see Arsenal drawn against Sunderland as he thinks on a windy night at the Stadium of Light, there is a chance that the Black Cats will steamroll through the Gunners, while Talon just wants a home tie in the quarter-finals.
Jordan thinks that the Sunderland squad’s mentality is to be admired; adding that he thinks manager Lee Johnson and the backroom staff have done wonders and deserve all the praise they get.
Geoffrey wants Stoke City in the quarter-finals, if they make it through against Brentford, while Joseph thinks it is set in stone that the Black Cats will be getting either the Potters or the Bees.
safc5573 is glad that the Black Cats have managed to bounce back after the loss last week against Charlton Athletic in the league by winning against Queens Park Rangers.
Cameron feels that getting to the quarter-finals of a major cup competition is a massive achievement for a League One side like Sunderland.
All eyes will be on who the Black Cats are paired with when the quarter-final draw is made.
Thinking about it let’s get Arsenal at home on a windy wet night at the stadium off light we will Roll them like Tarmac I apologise to @TS20BANK for using your managers saying 😂 #Safc.

I was unfortunately busy this evening but saw the Lads get a win over QPR in the cup? Let’s goooooo! From what I’ve read, we fought well and fully deserved to go through, but uhm, let’s get a HOME TIE this time please? #SAFC

Something’s has to be said about the mentality of this sqaud. We have consistently turned bad results into runs of good results, which is a credit to Lee Johnson and all of the work from the backroom staff. I love this club 🔴⚪🔴⚪#SAFC

I can guarantee we’ll get drawn Stoke or Brentford away instead of one of the top 6 at the SOL #safc

After the disappointment of Saturday,
we redeem ourselves again with a superb performance. Apart from the last 15 mins of the first half, we have basically played QPR off the park! Players, manager, staff and fans, deserve all the praise they get!!#safc— SAFC5573 (@safc5573) October 27, 2021
Getting to the last 8 of a major cup competition is a brilliant achievement for a League One team, really proud of the lads tonight 👏 #SAFC
