Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Blackburn Rovers FC – Monday 21st April 2025 - KO 15:00

Ballard could be on the bench tomorrow

 

Anyone know what time the ticket office opens tomorrow?

 

What I would go with tomorrow. Aleksic really cant play out wide, we have nothing to play for so let's see him in his actual position.

 

Isn’t it 10am? And closes just before KO?

 

No pressure on either team imo. We are already there and I think Blackburn have missed the boat for the play offs. I would prefer a baked 6-6 draw with entertaining football than both teams trying to grind out a boring 1-0 win.
Get Watson out and have Mayenda, Wilson & Le Fee all just rotating positions around from centre to wing. Whilst Blackburn are watching them 3 Roberts will finally score tomorrow.
Its weird being relaxed at the SoL. Not used to this boredom with SAFC .

Cheers RTB. Just a couple more write ups and a well deserved break. Well until the play offs haha.

 

Are the players being focused on the pictures today a hint of who will be in the squad tomorrow?

 

Could be
But I can’t see Huggins being in the squad just yet

 

Playing left wing I’ve heard

 

Great thread as always @RTB

Not going to even try and predict a team. All I would hope for is that the 11 lads who pull the shirt on actually give 100% and give it a damned good go- and that Watson goes on a romantic weekend to Brighton - and stays there!

Hawaaaaay

 

Sounds good to me mate.

I get to Central Station around 11.30 so should be in town for 12.30 at the latest, I'll need some scran.

Let me know what time you'll be there. I can either eat there or my usual if you're there later.

 

well we could win a point and we finish 4th

 

It's match day and can't wait for the team news.

Wonder if that young Finn lad from the u21's could make the bench?

 

Worth a shout but its a bit late and Finn G he plays mostly on the right side from what I have seen, he puts a real 90 min shift in, can actually track back , and has an eye for a goal , so no chance on the right. He could have been tried weeks ago to give Riggy a break, but RLB is not going to introduce any fresh ideas now imo.

 

Yeah Finn sort of plays all over, when I first saw him he was a central midfielder but think he'll be a centre forward now - probably plays there most.

Probably be Ogunsuyi if anyone from the 21s makes the bench as an attacker surely.

 

Luckily the Mrs has decided to give the match a miss. Phew

 

Just get them in there so they get a taste for it, forget about watson

 

Think it's a bit soon for Geragusian personally, he's only just broken into the u21 squad over the last couple months. Would rather he was travelling with them and playing than sitting on our bench at least for this season (obviously they don't play today but for future games you get me).

 

Rhys Walsh on the bench? Left winger Irish under 21 international, why not

 

Plays both sides too, him and Tutierov swap a bit - be happy with either
