I’ll be safe got the missus with me ! Mind you only away match she’s been to was a ‘date’ some years ago at Sunderland !! Yep we lost 2 -0 , her only comment was ‘ don’t the fans get aggressive ‘ think she meant me - mind you we were only about 5yds from theirs . Expecting same result again - never seen us win there or Boro. Locals were fun tho !
If you have scrolled down a bit further you would have come to this- Fabio Carvalho Billy Sharp Tyrell Sellars-Fleming
I'm with several others here in thinking if we could limp out of Sunderland tomorrow with a draw and stay in touch with the top 6, that would be an achievement given our injury situation. However, must admit I fear that we will battle hard and still lose another game of small margins. IF we do, I suspect there'll be a few suggesting a change of manager. For me, to lose what Rosenior has built in the last 18 months because of a poor run and some bad luck on injuries would be a big mistake. I think Acun and Tan will keep the faith.
And here it is. City's squad Matt Ingram Ryan Allsop Thimothee Lo-Tutala Matty Jacob Stan Ashbee Lewie Coyle Jacob Greaves Alfie Jones Sean McLoughlin Andy Smith Regan Slater Tyler Morton Greg Docherty Harry Vaughan Ozan Tufan Allahyar Sayyadmanesh Jason Lokilo Fabio Carvalho Billy Sharp Tyrell Sellars-Fleming
I think I’d be tempted to go Allsopp Coyle Jones Macca Greaves Morton Vaughan Doc Slater Carvalho Ally Sit tight, deep, let them have the ball, frustrate them, make it a battle and hope Vaughan or Ally manage to get in behind or catch a mistake. A proper Steve Bruce team and performance is what will be needed IMO. Sharp coming on around 70 is the perfect ****house little **** for a game plan like that too.
I'd be inclined to play 5.4.1 Allsop Coyle, Jones, Greaves, McLoughlin, Jacob Slater, Morton, Tufan, Carvalho TS Fleming... They can all play the full 90... no game again this month...
I am just hoping that Liam has a plan to deal with Jack Clarke and not leave him one on one with Lewie Coyle for the whole game.
Fear a tonking, but got a strange feeling we might get something, therefore smart money is on a draw..A 2-2.
With a world class centre back in the team we’ll be fine … https://x.com/secondtierpod/status/1748016514815398187?s=20
