Match Day Thread Sunderland v Doncaster Rovers - Saturday 13th February - KO 15:00

E bye gum... I can only see a loss against form.

 

Well I have just seen a Robin flying around, that I am going to say is a good omen.. we will win today!

 

Hopefully he does a better job of it than he did on Vokins full debut against MK. They were torn to shreds in that first half and a lot of the time it was O'Nien being walked past while Vokins was somewhere else with his head up his arse.

Need some big displays from quite a few today, hopefully Doncaster continue being poor against us. Their form doesn't really tell the true story in recent weeks as they haven't been the better team in their last few games despite winning most of them. A change of formation to something whereby we can control the game a bit more would be nice but it'll be a similar story no matter what/who we play I feel. Struggle to finish all our chances and a breakaway goal or two for them in their dominant period, result? Could be anything from 2 or 3-1 to them to the same for us and anything in-between.
One thing is for sure and that is Johnson needs to see improving results soon or he'll struggle to still be in a job by the summer. We were averaging more points under Parkinson this season.

 

Well I cant imagine a clean sheet so we need to score more than them. Easy this football malarkey.

 

That's certainly not typical of O'Nien. Don't forget he hadn't played for a while and it'd been a lot longer than that since he started in midfield.

 

Is that a picture of a new dawn????

Here's hoping it means more than it's just match day!!!

 

FAB as always @RTB I'm strangely optimistic about this game. I think we'll win 3-1 (Wyke, Jones & O'Nien) I know I'll give my head a shake!!!!!

 

Good thread as always and much appreciated.
I’m going for a home win.
It’s must win for me. We’ve really got to start a winning run and today would be the ideal game to start.
Followed by the club announcement of course.

 

I'm relaxed about this game as I've atopped thinking games are 'must win' or 'musn't lose' - we're in a big transition, I just want us to be more cohesive/organised through the team, especially at the back..... and finish off more chances.

 

Yes you are right...if we could convert more if our chances we would score more. However even the best strikers do not have a high conversion rate. We are now creating more chances, Jurassic's tactics a thing of the past., we need more chances simple as.

 

We already create around 20 per match we should be able to win of that amount already it’s baffling.

Haway lads!

Today's the day, make it count.

 

Next two games are massive.
Win them both and we're probably back in the hunt for automatic.

What's left, 20 games ?

All them draws man ffs .
I just want that click now, that "where the fook did that come from" ? And get a good run of wins on the bounce.

 

4-3-3 i think

 

Onien in the 10 role just off Wyke?
