Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Hull City FC – Friday 19th January 2024 - KO 20:00

Moore is a presence as well as being good on the ground though. He’d be ideal for us.

 

Ba on for Jobe is my plan here.

I think it’s more likely he makes no change. Hull will likely take two of their booked players off.

If we do make a change I reckon it will be Pritchard off. Which will fury

 

A proper number 9 is exactly what we need.

 

I feel like if we did have a big lad upfront we wouldn't really try to find them. Equally we could be playing balls over the top for Rusyn who makes unrewarded runs all game but we don't do that either.

 

I don't need anything, thanks.

 

I agree. I just think we’d need to change to get anything out of any striker and I’m not convinced we will change

 

Bloody hell lads. This red wine must have meths in it. Not sure what some of you are watching. I am going to finish the bottle, hit the malt and keep watching them. We are on the edge of a breakthrough, have changed the formation and have lads showing a degree of attacking bravery. Seems the negativity is baked in. Watch the players, they are at it.

 

But we don't play that way though, and with Moore in this team we would have absolutely no threat in behind. Moore does absolutely nothing in this team.

 

I think so, we want to win the game.

 

save some of that for me please

 

When?

 

Agreed. It's not the consistent high pressing, gung ho style, but that also saw us concede a lot of easy goals.

This feels more methodical and controlled. It's not creative and clinical enough for sure, but I'll keep watching and see if that comes with a bit more time.

I would like to see Rigg on for Jobe or maybe even Ba to drift out wide and run at their booked defenders.

 

let’s ****ing hope so and so we should these are in a **** state and we look piss poor imo.

 

Half the Hull team booked by half time ...

... come on ref, don't chicken out.

 

They feel asleep

 

Touch map for Rusyn says everything really!

 

no changes at HT

 

Not sure if a red card would help or hinder us to be honest. Obviously the advantage of 11 v 10 is massive, but hull will recede even more

 

Stating the obvious I know, but we just need the one goal. Hull don't like they're too interested in winning, get a goal, and the game will open up.
I'm going 3 nil to the lads....

 

Jobe needs half a second longer than everybody else on the pitch
