    Changes again I'm hearing.

    Possibly Gooch/Matete starting and Broadhead back.

    Sounds like Neil is going for the win if that's his thinking.

    I'd rather lose, trying to win than lose, trying to draw. No harm in going for it.

    No point trying to do anything but win at this stage.

    We're admittedly poor against cheats like Gillingham & Fleetwood but the last team to attack us was Wigan ...

    Mate just sent me this,

    "Fair few Sunderland fans marvelling at our beautiful city centre."

    I reckon Oxford will only have two sides of the ground <laugh>

    I'm pleased Matete is back. Not convinced with those as a back 3 though. Come on lads.

    Wow, that's taking chances with the defence, we'll need Stewart there for set pieces.

    Neil really going for this game.

    3 at the back then. After that I'm stumped!

    Edit - think I've worked it out 3-4-3

    Brannagan back for Oxford.

    The forwards need to play around him, not keep slinging it up to Stewart.

    We should target Brown who's a poor defender.
