48 hours to go and even Bruce must realise that this is a must win game, a draw will do nothing to lift anyone. Bolton are below us, not many are. We have everyone bar Gordon and Campbell available, no injuries or suspensions to blame, is Larsson available? A team who despite last weekends win are in dire straights like us so we cant have any excuses. Iâm sure many will say Bruce will stick with Bendy and Sess but will he? He must know that we need to attack, he must know he needs to try a different approach. He will stick with Mig but will he bring Bardo in and if yes who moves? Will he go 4 in midfield and if he does who will be the 4, Larsson, Catts, Gardner,Vaughan, Colback, Meyler give us 6 then we could have Richardson, Sess, Ji and the new lad, Maklean is it. Up front we know Bendy will be back but who with? None of us will be surprised with mig oshea..turner..brown..bardo elmo..catts..gardner..larsson sess bendy But surely we can do better and must do better or is that team about to take off. So many questions and it will be interesting to hear the answers at 2 on Saturday.
I don't think Bolton are that bad or as bad as us. Their fixtures have been cruel, and unlike us i think they have only had one bad result at home to norwich. I look at their team and its very balanced 4-4-2, proper left sided player on the left petrov OR Kakuta and on the right the talented Eagles and when fit the Korean lad OR Stuart Holden. Upfront Plastic has shown he can score goals and we all know about Davies. The dark horse (no pun intended) could be ngog .. I have an awful feeling we'll feel the brunt of boltons frustrations and be on the end of a tonking. The only solace i can take from that is that ill be praying Ellis Short wields the axe and lifts this black crowd that has engulfed us.
Don't worry Syd, Bruce got 'wa' top 10 last year so he must be a good manager. This season doesn't count man.
would you's lot be as bothered if you got beat if bruce showed a bit of a change and played with strikers and said go nuts. played round pegs in round holes for a change? is the reason hes coming in for so much flak due to his desire to keep playing no strikers and 9 midfielders etc i.e. bad tactics rather than the results themselves? just curious.

Mixture of both. He's too scared of losing to actually win a game atm. Imo he's heavily behind on points going into the 12th round and he has to start throwing bombs or he's finished. I guarentee this will be the team. .....................mig................... Oshea..turner..brown..bardo elmo......cats....colback....Seb ...............sessegnon............. ................Bebndter................
Oh for ****s sake, throwing a 18 year old kid in when we have Sess ready to take off, fat clown out. well, someone had to say it, cant have us all happy
This is exactly the type of game that Sunderland lose! Their below us Their on a bad run They haven't won at home so far this season I guarantee they will beat us and kick start their season and we will be in the relegation zone! If my prediction comes true then i expect Bruce to be sacked on the spot! Cant believe hes still manager really!
You're probably right but Larsson is wasted out there when he should be on the right. Elmo has been ****e all season. Put Sess on the left where he can ping some balls in. We have options up front.
I hope this is the team Bardo, Oshea, Brown, Ricco Elmo, larsson, vaughan, Sess Bendtner, Wickham however, i wouldnt be too dissapointed with Oshea, Turner, Brown, Bardsley Elmo, Catts, Vaughan, Larsson Sess Bendtner
The team that will start will be MR MIG MR BARDO..MR OSHEA..MR BROWN.. MR RICHARDSON MR LARSSON..ME CATTS..MR VAUGHAN..MR SESS MR BENDY..MASTER WICKHAM
