Put Cattermole in for Bridcutt then I would agree with your team pal. If we get stuck in we have a chance but if we don't then Southampton should easy win.
Actually there is a strong North Herts branch of the Sunderland Supporters Assoc. Who have about 140 Members, been going for twenty years and go to every home game with a mini coach and of course lots of away matches in the south. They are based in the Stevenage Bedford and Baldock areas. Contact details if you want it
I'll have them mate, just stick them up on here if you like then anyone can note them. I'm coming 'home' soon and might be able to fill a spare seat or two if they can pick up on the A1. Cheers Edit:
I like the team except Mannone and Ki .......... I'd cringe at every challenge if they play from the start. Fulham lost their keeper, last night, and now they have Stockdale for a while. Ustari for me. I'd bring in Cattermole, who'd be out to prove a point but is less of a loss if he's injured. I totally agree with playing Vergini at the side of O'Shea as they need to gell quickly for the league.
I hope us fans realise we will be making changes so maybe a disjointed performance. Lets get behind them tho and cheer them on to the next round. As a few have said the league is priority but it would also be nice just to go for it with a few forwards on the pitch and not the usual old guard upfront or in midfield
I'll be horrified if we play Ki ......... how many were injured last time we played Southampton? If they're out for a bit of revenge it could get nasty.
I'd play -----------------Ustari------------------- Celustka-----Vergini------Oshea-----Alonso --------------Bridcutt---Catts--------------- Mavrias-----------Scocco------------------Giaccherini ------------------Wickham---------------------
Evening guys and girls, love Sunderland away and been to Roker and stadium of light a few times - first visit was 2-1 to us when keegan played (those where the days) Anyway the change in kick off means i can't get there so all the best and i will be hoping that we don't concede and let you back in it! i will go 2-0 Saints
