Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Cardiff City FC– Sunday 24th September 2023 - KO 15:00

If you're still in you're quite welcome to use my SkyGo logins to watch the match mate.

 

I imagine Mowbray will give nothing away about Rusyn especially if he's actually ready to start. He likes springing a surprise if possible.

 

Any other team news? Assume Dack and Ekwah still out?

 

He looked ready last week in the training video.

 

No idea, our horrific journalists have hardly posted anything. James Hunter has posted one tweet from the press conference

 

Yeah. Still out
Not sure about Jewi he had an illness apparently so could be back.

 

The press conference was on youtube live
I will post it here later.

 

Assuming the injured lads are still out:

Patterson
Hume O'Nien Ballard Huggins
Jobe Neil
Ba Pritchard Clarke
Burstow​

Sub: Bishop, Seelt, Triantis, Taylor, Rigg, Roberts, Rusyn, Hemir, Aouchiche


Decent

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he was, think he's already played a few games this season. Not sure if there was some minor injury or if it was just the usual keep them out of the team while the transfer goes ahead.

 

Imagine all of our new players thoughts right now.

The transfer window closed 1/9/23......and between that date, and up to this date, they have all witnessed this from only 24 hours later 2/9/23 -

* Their first experience of a massive UK football team's home game crowd of over 40,000 (for a team in a WORLD 2nd tier league)
* A 5-0 victory
* That same crowd going ****in mental at every goal.
*That same crowd constantly singing,chanting, and adoring the pleasure given to them by their team's performance on that day.
* Two further victories away from home.
* Both 3-1 wins.
*The away support following the lads.
*A total Goal Difference of, 11 scored, and only 2 conceded.

They must be absolutely buzzin man !!!

 

11 scored only 2 conceded...sorry to be pedantic.

 

The anguish those poor lads went through ...

... and all for nothing

 

Another belting thread @ RTB.

I think TM could blood a few of the newcomers as subs in the second half assuming the game going our way. I am going for a 2-1 home win

Hawaaaaay

 

It always makes me nervous when everyone is so confident of a win!

 

Mowbray has already warned the players that we're the only team that can beat us ...

... the supporters are entitled to get excited, it helps the players and affects the opposition.

We've had years of living in fear of jinxes, ex-players scoring against us, bogey teams and opposition on a losing run ...

... it's time other teams were scared of us.

HAWAY!!!

 

Anyone who drives and parks at the SoL check your emails.....

Good Afternoon,



We look forward to welcoming you to the Stadium of Light very soon.



Supporters are advised that several vehicle lockdowns will be implemented on matchdays at the Stadium of Light for the 2023-24 season.



The new measures, which are in agreement with the local Safety Advisor Group, will enhance supporter safety and allow crowds to successfully disperse following the full-time whistle before the roads reopen.



Vehicles will not be able to access the stadium site from 30 minutes prior to kick off until the fixture in question has started, with the stadium site once again locking down 30 minutes before the final whistle.



The roads will then reopen to vehicles wishing to depart or enter the stadium site once major crowds have dispersed, which typically takes 30-40 minutes after the conclusion of each game.



We thank supporters for their understanding in relation to this matter.



If you require any further information please contact [email protected].



Kind regards,

SAFC

 

Hope everything is ok Whitty, and you get sorted soon.
Take care

 

Great thread @RTB . I must say I really like the strengths/ weaknessess snapshot you give. Really gives you a good oversight on what we can expect from the opposition and how we may play against them. Confidence is high and I know that all good runs will eventually come to an end - but it won’t be today. I’m expecting a tighter game and think we will have to be patient. I’m going 2-0 to the lads.

 

I thought they had been doing this for a year or more already, or was that just after the game?

 

Great thread as always mate....HTL!!!
