Match Day Thread Sunderland v Lincoln City – Saturday 22nd May 2021 - KO 15:30

[Smug in Boots]

They will be lifted by the crowd. hope we will tear lincoln apart tomorrow and maybe they will make mistakes and bottle it Liverpool vs Barca ?, teams have been lucky against us in recent games and i hope they change the goalie tomorrow. Maguire, Diamond, Leadbitter, Mcgeady, gooch in midfield, Stewart, Wyke up front, bring in the under 23 lad for Flannagan, we need a Doncaster performance, i would even get burge up when we get a corner, got to go to the match.

During our unbeaten streak we had some luck, fair enough and people were sharp to point it out as 'not deserved' ...

... but any bad luck is dismissed as 'deserved' for some reason.

Embletons just scored a screamer for Blackpool apparently ..

Johnson wants shooting for letting him go out on loan.

Was a good goal.

Was a good goal.

Johnson will be sat watching the game now wishing he hadnt let him go out on loan. He'll never admit that though.
He'd be our best midfielder if we still had him now. The fact we've let him go to the team that will probably now go on to win the playoffs is pretty shocking really.

@SleevesElliott Watching Embleton do that for a rival team in play offs really does get you scratching your head!! [HASHTAG]#safc[/HASHTAG]

I would also think KLD is thinking the same thing and wondering.

 

[Nig]

Imagine if we are another 2-0 down and they get the bullet at HT

I'd gladly shoot the fookers if we are.

I'd go with this lineup. Energy on the wings in Gooch and Diamond to get up and down. Leadbitter to dictate from deep with Winchester and Scowen like rabid dogs chasing and harassing them in their own half. Wyke needs to be left out, he's hopeless and get Stewart on who's a lot more mobile and will pull their defence around better. That leaves McGeady to cause havoc anywhere he feels free to roam.

Whatever team he chooses, they need to be 100mph from the off and give it everything. Give Lincoln no time on the ball whatsoever, constantly in their faces. If they are as young a team as people say, then with the players doing that and the fans up for it, they won't know what to do and SAFC can pick them off. ITHICS!!!

100mph with Winchester and Leadbitter in the team???

I feel like puking.

I think LJ will play two up front with Wyke and Stewart and will go direct, so expect a lot of long balls folks.

It's a tough match, but we can do it if the team turn up this time

Really hope he plays two up front, absolute waste of time playing Wyke alone up there as he has no chance.

We need to be fired up from kickoff or it's unlikely to happen. If Johnson tries to go conservative with his team selection and strategy then most likely we're screwed barring a miracle.

 

[Blond Bombshell]

Brilliant thread and perfect timing, time for some positivity. Wednesday was depressing but that is gone. Time to roar them on and the players to keep giving the fans a reason to roar them on.

Got to be 3 at the back, with Wyke and Stewart both starting. We need to play in their half and put them under pressure, they struggled to cope when we did that for 20 minutes in the second half.

4-1 and on to Wembley.

Predicting a draw but like the cut of your jib

 

[LAMackem]

Dear God who art in heaven....hallow by thy name.....
You know I only touch base when my ass is on fire or need a miracle....
Any chance of a bone tomorrow....say a 3 - 0 to the lads?
Promise I will behave...
So now or never time.....going for 64 years of blood sweat and tears.....we are going to do this.....
Leadbitter penalty 94 mins for the winner.
Cue **** load of ambulances to take 10,000 fans to hospital with suspected coronaries

My girlfriend and I went out to a restaurant last night, and some of the other diners started calling me a '*****' and a 'cradle snatcher.' All because I'm a 52 year old man with a 19 year old girlfriend they're just jealous ! It total ruined our 10th anniversary..

[Smug in Boots]

Had a dream that Gooch gets us to Wembley, I never dream about our matches ...
