Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Burnley FC - Saturday 24th August 2024 - KO 15:00

Tomorrow could be the day, paddy cuts in from the right, and strokes the ball left footed in the far top corner.

 

Then mundle cuts in from the left and strokes the ball right footed into the far top corner to make it 2-0

 

i take a draw now hopefully Mundle can step up

 

We have goal threats from various players now and Mayenda really opened up space for Roberts, now hopefully Mundle.

Having an attacking three really crippled Sheff Wed, that display from Iorfa and Bernard was pretty funny tbh.

And Rigg found so much space I thought he was in camouflage

 

Great thread as per usual RTB, yes we will miss him, but under Reggie I am looking forward to us playing with a renewed conviction , win, draw or lose . OaU

 

Its 3 points lads, have no fear

 

Ticket bought hear my old season card seat! Ha’way the lads

 

Burnley 13/10. Thought they’d be odds on.

 

If Isidor signed before 12, does that mean he is eligible to play tomorrow? Not suggesting he will, just if he would be eligible. Not sure on the current rules for player registration.

 

I hope he gets on the bench, I can't see him starting but Regis might have other ideas

 

I dont know if he has a work permit?

 

Burnley lose another player

 

Rtb mate, these threads are the glue on this board that keeps us sane and on the same page. Brilliant mate.

Now i might be completely offline for this and not even know the score till after the match. Could I therefore please request Clocky tells me the score now If not no spoilers lads and lasses, I want to watch the highlights without knowing the score

On a serious note. First match without Jack. Feels a bit sad. I always get attached to players and make no apologies. He has been so good for us. On the pitch superb, but always felt he wanted to play here and be part of us. I will miss him wandering out last in line with his little skip, then 20 mins messing with his hair

Now I would love to see what Mundle can bring. I have a real expectation there. I also want to see young Watson in and around the squad now. Might just be our next academy graduate, lets keep him close.

Anyway, as always, no predictions from me. What I do know these lot wont fail for a lack of effort or talent. If it isnt our day it will because the othet side are better. I can always live with that.

Haway the lads, Love you all.

 

Don't think anyone could've said that any better.

 

Some good news today, change of duties for me this weekend meaning I'm now not working tomorrow. Just finished now and been on website and bought 2 tickets for the match. In sheepfolds before and after the match. I cannot wait, gettin

 

Gutted Clarke has gone but I'm hoping Rusyn gets some minutes playing from the left. Think it's where he played in Ukraine and he's not had a chance there as Clarke had monopolised it. Deservedly so of course

 

Very hard game. Think we will get done on the counter.

Be buzzing if we smash them mind. Keep the flow going. Needs to after the Clarke news.

 

I hope they also sell Rusyn

 

It will be strange not having Jack Clarke in the team but as you say Mundle and Watson now have an opportunity to stake their claim. Jack scored some great goals including that classic at Reading, I'll always remember that night as we tore them apart but the man of the match was actually Patrick Roberts.
I read somewhere that Mundle was seen to be the better player at Spurs when we signed Jack so hopefully he can shine here in the same ways as Jack did.
I've got a family day out out in London tomorrow but will try and keep an eye on here to get any updates, there's no way that I could avoid not seeing the score for 24 hours.
Have a good day out - I'll be watching the full-90 on the Sunday.
