Match Day Thread Sunderland v Preston North End - Saturday 17th March - KO 15:00

Feck me look at Lua Luas legs. I bet hes easy to nutmeg.

 

Oshea hasn't trained all week :-D pleeeeeeeease let this be the game he doesn't play. ClarkeSalter hack and hopefully he'll partner Kone

----------------------Camp-------------------------
Matthews---Kone-Clarke-Salter-Oviedo
---------------McNair--Honeyman------------
------------------------Ejaria------------------------
--------------Asoro-Maja-Mcgeady---------

I don't know why but I'm confident that we'll win.

Haway the lads. 2-0 McGeady and Maja

 

Yes my mistake.
Denying obvious goal scoring opportunity - 1 match
Offensive/insulting/abusive language or gestures - 2 matches
Serious foul play/violent conduct/spitting at an opponent or any other person - 3 matches
If your middle name is Barry - 4 matches

So it's only 1 match I'm afraid
I made up the last one

 

Kaz and Paddy could be back:

Chris Coleman provides team news ahead of Sunderland's clash with Preston at the Stadium of Light with a late decision to be made on John O'Shea

• About five years too late imo.

 

Snow and hailstone has arrived. Can see this getting called off midgame

 

Yeah, the one day we’re 4-0 up and it’ll get abandoned!

 

Been and gone here. Sun is shining. Can't see the telly.

 

Weather is fine, sun shining and very little snow on ground in Sunderland atm.

 

I'd like to think that today could be the day we start to show some fight and get a result, but logic has beaten me down. Surely this is just going to be another step on our slide towards league one.

 

Fs Coleman feck off with your shyte negative tactics. 3 fecking wingers on the bench again with 3 CBs on the pitch relying on Oviedo and Mathews to put crosses and balls in. I fecking give up, how many times do we have to lose before he realises its not working

 

He'll change personnel but he won't change formation. Frustrating.

Like there's some desperate need to play O'Shea because we're always rock solid when he starts.

 

At least Maja starts in place of Fletcher. Every cloud.....

 

Id love to see Oviedo and Mathews overlapping with 2 wingers down both flanks in a 442 like the old Championship days when we played that system.
This formation is fecking shyte and like ive already said before Colemans not playing the squad of players hes got to its full potential.

 

You're right we should be going 442 and more attacking because it plays to our strengths and we need wins. Going to go down with a whimper at this rate. Don't know why Coleman persists with something that hasn't worked all season and doesn't suit his players.

 

Good start - Barnsley lost 2-0

 

I dont expect any ground to be made up from todays tactics. Whos going to supply our goals or put them in for that matter?

 

McGeady & McManaman - in the second half

 

Or Lua Lua .
