we only realised we "had" to go for wins with 4-5 games left

Sunderland were in a position where they had to do that with 10-15 games games left.
Add that to the fact that they were actually playing quite well prior to that and failing to pick up wins, while we were playing quite badly and picking up enough points to give the illusion that we would probably be safe and you have two very different situations

        no, Sunderland are a totally different squad of players (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 23, 20:03:04
        
        so it was an advantage for them as they were in a worse situation than us.....ok (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, May 23, 20:06:11

        true, but surely no one actually thought we'd get a "best in class" manager did they? (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 23, 20:28:10
        
        there's really no need to say it especially when the evidence presented so far (NCFC) - Brandonio, May 23, 20:36:49
        
        also true, but I always take club statements with a large pinch of salt (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 23, 21:35:56
