    If she times it right Luke could nip away at half time...the traffic would be quiet....and be back in time for the second half.

    Said it before, I get a strong Bobby Robson vibe from Mowbray - pleasant, affable and engaging at times, but hard as nails underneath.
    All the talk before he was binned off by the mags that he'd lost the dressing room and couldn't handle egos like Bellamy, but when you read the various autobiographies (Dyer, Bellamy etc) he had absolute control and could shut Bellamy down with a single put down

    I'd agree with all of that but would add that Mowbray still carries a distinct physical threat ...

    ... I don't know many who'd want to risk throwing a swing at him <laugh>

    He'd put Warnock on his arse with a sideways glance.

    Pritchard is my guess, due one and rarely for him played a full game Saturday.

    Seems most likely, not going to be a defender as TM was saying due to man marking, can't imagine anybody man marking Batth, or other defenders.

    Anybody got a spare ticket for the West Brom game?

    Brilliant

    On the PGA golf on Sunday a englishman Matt Fitzpatrick won. On holiday aged 6 there is a picture of him and his dad in front of the famous lighthouse on the course. Sunday a picture of him holding the winners cup in front of the lighthouse !

    Great stuff

    Dan just keeps getting better, be great for him to score tonight.

    As Preston showed at Millwall the pressure is affecting every team ...

    ... hold our nerve and we can get to Wembley.

    I can see us letting loose tonight, 4-0 Ha’way the Lads!!!

    I think it’ll be a tough tight game.

    Huddersfield are in good form of late and have picked up a decent return against some top tier sides in the league.

    They’ll come and frustrate us, hoping the fans get on the backs of the players.

    It’s our job to not play into their hands.

    1-0 would do for me

    It would give us 3 points, but probably also a lot of blood pressure building tension, 3-0 please, by half time preferably :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Huddersfield were bottom for a reason.

    As di Canio showed, adrenalin is never enough and it runs out quickly.

    I'm expecting us to tear them apart tonight <laugh>

    From what I’ve seen on Twitter Huddersfield fans think they’ve emptied the tank and the last thing they need is a game tonight, I’m hopeful of a dominant win

    Win, lose or draw I'm really looking forward to this tonight. The last 14 months have made supporting Sunderland enjoyable again. The idea of looking forward to going, rather than looking for an excuse not to is wonderful.

    Might get pelters here, but walked out of the Hull game on Good Friday and had to chuckle at how mad football is - had that been in L1 under Johnson or Parkinson I would have been raging, but not this season. Maybe it's low expectations, or still that euphoria of being out of L1 but it's a welcome change

    Whatever the next 4 games bring, it's been an outstanding season and we have achieved so much despite facing so much adversity

    Bit nervous now. Gone from potential mid table finish to fighting for play off space. Never dull.

    I gave up on the Play Offs weeks ago, so feel quite relaxed. We realistically need to win all of our remaining games to have a chance of sneaking 6th
    I don't think we'll do that. I wouldn't be at all surprised if tonight ends 0-0 - Warnock loves playing against us and will have his team set up to scrap for everything.
