Match Day Thread Sunderland v Doncaster Rovers - Friday 24th January - KO 19:45

At last teams are coming to the SOL with a bit of fear.

A noisy crowd under floodlights, a good start and there's no reason we can't beat Doncaster.

I honestly believe Parkinson will stop the team being over confident and have them focussed on effort from the start ...

... 3-0 with Maguire MOTM, Haway the Lads!!!!

 

Yeh I like this thread haway the lads

 

That would be good, an early goal to get the crowd going and three points to keep up the good run.
Be the first time I see us live on tv this season with Sky showing us as the main event so I'll be down the port in an English bar, which I hate, but at least it'll be on the box.
Ha'way the Lads

 

Ignore any Mags mate, is my advice.

If we're ever in a situation whereby we have no other option but a bar we never celebrate until we're sure of a win.

There's nothing worse than having some know it all attach themselves to you.

 

I can't say I see us as a physical side but having Dobson in the middle makes a big difference compared to what we had before, he gets his foot in, wins headers, scraps and is generally hard to get past. Suddenly we have a midfield that adds to our defensive strength.

Swapping McGeady for Gooch helps too and Ozturk enjoys the physical side of the game, a bit too much at times but he's doing well.

 

It's pretty quiet off season Smug so hopefully no Mags present, I've been in this pub a couple of times but I never sit inside cos it's just so full of Cockneys and Surrey types but tonight it's going to be pissing down so we will be inside.
The food is great though and they serve a nice cold Estrella so if we get a win it'll be a good night. Hic!
If there are any Lads fans down in Sotogrande port tonight pop into the Hairy Lemon and say hi.

 

Ah so the turnaround in form is down to you. I thought it was those fan forums posting that “get out of our club” stuff

 

Cracking thread as always. We are playing well full of confidence and I think we will beat donny. Might not be the 3 or 4 goals we are becoming used to but a victory non the less.

 

Hhhaaawwwwaaaaaayyyyyyyy the lads
3-0 tonight

 

3-1 the Lads.

See Boyce is about to sign for Hearts for 250k.

Mad that we seemingly don’t have that to spend.

 

Haway the famous men of Sunderland

ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK

 

I think @Robref62 is right on this one, in that we've got four strikers competing for a single spot and until we can unload Grigg or McNulty gets recalled we're not looking at getting anyone else for that position.

Could just be that we're skint but it does make sense.

 

Well after admitting I was struggling to go without me dad to watch #SAFC after the last home game I was determined the last home game would be the last one I’d miss
But I had a 2 hour session at the dentist this morning and it’s floored me a bit so it’s pjs the tele and wine for for me tonight. But it really is the last one I will miss

Haway the lads
