    Really hoping for a positive performance. We seem to be built to play better on the break, away from home. Need the senior players to be brave and attack their man. Good start essential.

    Haway the lads!

    I think Pritch for Jobe will be the only change.

    I think it will aid Pritch's game by having Hemir to play off, and hopefully vice versa

    I dunno, I think Pritchard benefits from coming on as legs are tiring.

    Whisper it, but I'd be tempted to drop Neil and just have Jobe and Ekwah doing Pritchard's work. It's a tough one.

    The thread title is Sunderland AFC v Preston North End FC and I thought it was weird that we were starting the season with two home league games as I, er, voted for a home win.

    But I think I'll leave my vote like that. Last week I voted that we'd win - and we lost. Today I've voted that we'll lose - so we'll obviously win!

    Smashing as usual RTB :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Going for a positive result today, in view of our away record last season. I'm expecting more from our flair players who should get more joy.

    Hemir dropped after 1 game. Jesus. Guess we need to find a way without a striker again.

    Good set up away from home imo.

    Hemir will be on at some point so I wouldn't say he's dropped tbh.
