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

Smug, have you ever given Bowhouse Market a go, the Mrs fancies a couple nights up there and a market visit?

 

fair dos.... gotta try keep the troops positive though, so can't be having none of that negativity!!

 

You'd love it up here mate. The whole of the neuk is well worth a visit.

 

We have mate, very good, and there's a great butcher/deli/farm shop at St Andrews ... https://www.balgove.com/

It's not cheap but all great produce and the butchers really know their stuff.

 

Have you been here before Smug?

tell uncle Tony. Hopefully he sorts it for tomorrow

 

Not yet but we should, it's quite close and looks good.

 

We’ve been several times it’s a really great area, St Andrews and the coast is brilliant but it’s been a while and we’ve never been to the Bowhouse Mkt so might give it a try before winter kicks in.

 

Cannot wait for match today hopefully 3 pts and then March on to Friday. Think some of the teams ahead may well start to slip and if we can position ourselves in the right way we will be ready to strike. Would be great to see this young exciting squad show a ruthless side to them as well as the rest of the league take note and start to worry a little more.

 

Been up since half 5 for this match, can’t wait for it. 1st of the season for us, 2 hr drive leaving at 9am

 

First match this season for me too. Met up with my daughter at Heathrow, she lives in Texas and I don’t get to see her that often. We had a few days in York then got here yesterday in time for the match. It’s her birthday today so let’s give her a nice win.

 

Great post, my favourite so far ...

... hope you have an even better one after the game

 

Excited nerves kicking in and up early on a Sunday for the match.

Me and dad meeting ny auntie, cousin and her family for a beverage before the game for a catch up and then watch the lads.

Looking forward to watching the new lads, of they get on or start, as I've said patience required but would love us to start fast, blow them away early, get 3 up and cruise through the last 20 minutes.

 

I’ve been, it’s good but not as good as Blacketyside Farm, or Balgove.

I was at The Closing of the Green at Lundin Links Bowling Club. Feeing Ruff this morning.

It seems Burstow is at the head of the queue of strikers

From memory Sunderland have only failed to score once this season, away to Coventry and once last season, away to Burnley ...

... Cardiff, if I'm correct, have conceded at least two in every game except Sheff Wed and Swansea.

They're playing well, so could win, but I think they'll need to score more than one goal ...

... irrespective of our starting eleven I'll go for 3-2, the bench is there if we need more goals

 

Cardiff are the last tram to keep a clean sheet at the SOL, that is as the end of Nov last year.

 

Hopefully they aren't on track for another one mate.

 

This is a tricky game - a totally different game to the last 3. Ramsey is a top quality player - will be interesting to see how Neil and Bellingham do against him in midfield.
