Match Thread: Sunderland vs SAINTS

Mayuka, Schneiderlin and Yoshida are doubts apparently, so we're missing a few (though probably not as badly depleted as Sunderland are).

 

Do you think Di Canio might just know a little more about football and footballers than some of our ill informed fans?

 

think we'll line up something like this :

...........................mig

Colback.........Oshea...Mangane....Rose

Johnson.......Vaughan..N'Daiye....Mclean

........................Wickham

........................Graham

 

Fox will be a terrible loss.... I'm predicting 4-0 thrashing due to his absence

 

You were right, tis closed this weekend...going to William Jamesons now. Looks like it is closer to the ground so it's probably handier anyway

 

Emmanuel Mayuka gets back to England on Sunday.

His father passed away this week and the club let him head to Zambia on compassionate leave.

R.I.P

 

aye, just seen this :

from @physioroom PhysioRoom.com Ltd twitter
#SaintsFC will assess the fitness of #Schneiderlin & #Yoshida ahead of the game against #SAFC

 

--------------------Boruc--------------
Shaw----Hooiveld------Fonte/Yoshida-------Clyne

--------Schneiderlin----Cork--------------

Puncheon------Lambert------Guly

-------------Rodriguez--------

Would like to see Guly start after his good performance last week and wouldn't mind seeing punch come back in. Let's hope Schneiderlin is back

 

I reckon saints will win. Di Canio's gonna get really annoyed

 

really cant see us losing this one

 

If the saints team turn up that beat Liverpool ,Man city,Chelsea ,we will win, the team that played QPR however will see us coming home empty handed.

 

If you think you will win then fair enough, but to say you "really can't see" a team that recently got tonked 6-1 by Villa losing shows quite a lack of imagination!

You have improved immeasurably under Di Canio but you're still inconsistent. This game is as open as they come if you ask me.

 

How do you know this? I've been told just under 2000 was sold as of Wednesday

 

reckon sunderland will score a goal but saints will score 2 which will mean saints will win. I have thought this through in some detail as you can see.

 

Really can't see us losing this one therefore will be a draw according to our logic.

 

Or, you know, one of you could be wrong

 

Yes, I did type that with an element of sarcasm. There isn't a smiley that suggests you're being sarcastic unfortunately.

 

More likely that Di Canio remembers Guly from his days playing for Lazio, Guly had a bit of a reputation then I think?

 

Has anyone mentioned that it is Adam Lallanas 25th Birthday, nearly a veteran.

 

Wish I was still only 25.... Hopefully Adam will get a brace of goals for his present on Sunday
