    He isn't my pal just some random bloke online I tried to educate on his bollocks opinion of us! As I said to him I don’t rally comment on other teams as I don't watch them and despite what he was trying to say he hasn't watched any of us to form his opinion!

    I agree with everything you have said I don't see our lot rolling over and losing due to loss of confidence to anyone!

    It’s always nice to win the match before an international break. Beat United and we’ll be bouncing off the ceilings for the next two weeks, frothing at the lips at the thought of Wolves at home. A point would keep us ticking over nicely too.

    Be a tough game but I think these play into our hands. RLB will have this planned to a tee (hopefully)

    Personally I'd play Adingra or Mayenda instead of Rigg and push Enzo inside. Our pace will cause them all sorts of problems on the break.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Geertruida came in for Hume, I love Hume, but I think he's been a weak link in our team this season. Most of our big chances against us have came in transition when Hume has gave it away. Still time to grow though, just think Geertruida will have a run in the team soon.

    Quietly confident we go there and do a job on them.

    Hopefully the weather isn't too honking and it doesn't turn into a slog.

    Great thread again RTB thank you again. Looking forward to this one. It will be really difficult their home form isn't that bad although they are a basket case of a club at the minute. Would love a win but would take a draw now. If we can get the 1st goal and get the crowd restless who knows. Xhaka v Fernandez could be interesting. Interesting drive down if the weather continues. Haway the lads.

    We may lose one game of football by 5:00 tomorrow - but from now till 3:00 —— we are competing with Arsenal Spurs and ManCity for 2 nd place —- whilst the mags are playing against Forest in a relegation 6 pointer.

    I love Reggie so much! He's just so perfect for a club like Sunderland. Hope he's here for many, many years to come.

    He’s quite complimentary about us. He’s clearly watched a fair bit of our games.

    yep I would be surprised if we play Enzo and rigg in this match. Neither quick on the counter. Playing both hasn’t seemed to allow us keep the ball which is surprising as they both have the technical ability to retain the ball well. I wonder whether we might see Isidor and mayenda start together, or whether mayenda has a big role to play off the bench.

    adingra on the left against Amad as a wing back would be interesting.

    Wouldn’t be against seeing Geertruida start but also think he’s a good option off the bench.

    I fancy us to come away with something tomorrow, I feel we need to play our game as we have been. I said the other day that this is our first "free hit", but I also believe a few of the pundits mite fancy us. We shall see what Mr Xhaka and the lions can come up with tomorrow. I'd expect Robin to be called into action a few times tomorrow aswell. HWTFL
