    On Roberts, his quality is without question but even last season his goal contributions (5 goals, 7 assists in 33 starts) could have been better. Perhaps it's too late and what we're looking at is the finished article, but for me he often takes on too much, he'll beat his man and then try to take on another when perhaps a cross or a little lay off are the better option.

    My heart rules my head every time we play these b*stards. 8-1 to the cuddlies. Dont care who scores for us just do it.

    PS, a crappy little 1-0 would suffice tho.

    Cheers RTB. Once again Sir I salute you for a tremendous write up.

    2-2, Neil and Clarke.

    They have some quality players but we especially need to keep O'Hare quiet.

    Difficult to say really. It's going to take a little time to adjust to MB's way of doing things, so give it a few games and see what develops I suppose.

    Circumstances dictate I can't attend tomorrow unfortunately. Free ticket if anyone wants it (I.e. can forward it on electronically).

    Nee ****bags, don't want to lose my ticket <laugh>

    Beale should be as excited as hell this morning.

    Hoping for a solid performance from the lads to take us onto Christmas !

    Today I’ll be sporting a suitably horrible star wars Christmas Hawaii shirt over my Sunderland top to get into the Christmas spirit!

    hawayyyyyyyy ya Red and White Wizards !

    Here we go, last home game of 2023.

    Can't wait for the team to be announced, few beers with the branch and meeting my Auntie and cousin before the game. Dad's last game before his holiday so hoping we can send him off in style. Might make up for him missing the mags game.

    Haway me bonny lads

    Still got a free over 65s ticket if any old codgers have just got permission to go to the game today. Need someone to fill my spot and cheer the lads on for me. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Feels like an important game today because it’s been that long since I’ve been able to get over, I’m all giddy! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Just out the bath first cold tin cracked.

    2-0 to the lads.
