Match Day Thread Shrewsbury Town FC v Sunderland AFC – Saturday 7th January 2023 - KO 15:00

I hope Rigg gets a run out.

 

2-1 to the lads

Hhhaaawwwwaaaaayyyyyyy

 

You know what I'm still not 100% sure how to say his name, I've gone with O'Nine but you hear so many variations it keeps me guessing. As for Jewison Bennette feck knows.

 

Bennette is "Bennet" as in Gary. If it was a single "n" then it would be "Benetay"

 

Got you, what about Jewison do you reckon it's Jeh-wison or Jewy-son. I think it's the former but then his nickname seems to be pronounced Jewy.

 

Ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup clash at Shrewsbury, we've gathered a few news stories you may be interested in...


PRITCH INJURY LATEST FROM MOWBRAY

"We're anticipating that he will be out anywhere from two to four weeks - I was going to say three weeks, but it could be a bit more or a bit less. He probably needs to do a full week's training, rather than just two or three days game-prep training [as he did in the run-up to the Wigan game] and thinking that he's ready. I think we'll be more cautious building up this second time around after an injury like that. Forget the Swansea game next weekend, and you can probably forget Middlesbrough the week after that. The good thing is that we are not playing back-to-back three-game weeks at the moment, so he is not missing lots and lots of games. He'll miss maybe three or four games and then he should be ready."


COTTERILL PRE SAFC

"We’ll need some noisy fans behind us this week because Sunderland will have them, that's for sure. I think they have sold out their end. They will get right behind Sunderland so we need our guys in the other three stands of the ground to really get behind the lads and help them out. It's going to be a difficult game, they are a good team. I know Tony Mowbray very well. I’ve come up against him a few times. It will be a tough game whatever side they put out. I think they’ll put out a strong team. I think there have been quite a few changes there since we played them in the league. I think their team has got a lot younger. It’s dynamic, they have got lots of tricky players, speed and of course a really good goal scorer who is firing in Ross Stewart. Whether Tony starts him or not – that's not our business. But I’m sure they have got other players who can fill the void."


FAMILIAR FACES

Although former Black Cats Tom Flanagan and Carl Winchester (Winch is on loan) are both Shrewsbury Town players, they aren't expected to appear at the weekend. Cotterill confirmed that Winchester is unable to play against his parent club, whilst Flanagan was subbed off in the 17th minute against Fleetwood after taking a knee to the side: "He's not looking the best at the moment." Former Sunderland forward Aiden O'Brien is available to play, although he started as a substitute against Fleetwood.

 

That kit was ****ing horrible mind!

 

Not a clue mate

 

Should have it figured out in a few years when he can be interviewed in English.

 

You may want to reword or clarify that bit .

 

Matete has gone hasnt he so he wont be playing.

As we may have a strange or weakened team out I will put my sensible head on and say a mere 1-4 to the cuddlies. 2 xOG.s and who cares who gets our other 2.

 

I don't say either of those

I say it like I would say the name "Annette".

 

I'd sorted two tickets in the wild hope I'd be able to go but can't ...

... they'll be at the ground tomorrow if anyone needs them.

 

Updated

 

It does sound better, Bennet doesn't sound right for a lad from Costa Rica.

We'll figure it out one day.

 

Another away game and another sold out away end… Ha’way the lads

 

I think that's it too, it's 'Bennet' but with the accent on the last syllable. So, BenET, not BENet like the way you say it in Gary.

 

Yeah that sounds right. Time to work on his first name now.

 

That I have no clue .

But if I had to bet, I think it might just be 'Jewison', like you read it.

 

Could be right, it's a good base theory to start from
