Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Leeds United FC - Friday 4th October 2024 - KO 20:00

Hope you're soon on the mend mate. If you can't make it tonight, there'll be other nights for you. Health comes first....just!

 

I hope their team underestimates us too mate. They'll get the biggest shock of their lives!

 

Reading what their gaffer had to say I can't see it!

 

Fantastic thread again RTB. They are a pleasure to read and be involved in.

I am another in the bring Browne in camp. He's looked good every time he's stepped on the pitch for us so far and we'll need his leadership qualities tonight. We will need to rotate the squad more as the season goes on, but this is not the game to make too many changes. Riggy and Aleksic are great options from the bench.

I would like RLB to use his subs a little earlier than he has been though and he may have to tonight, as we will be without the ball for long periods and that, along with having played 3 games in 6 days, might take it's toll on a few of our players. If Samed is ready, I wouldn't mind him on the bench for this one.

Ampadu being out is good news and I expect our front 3 to cause their back four all sorts of problems. I would like us to continue our run of not conceding at home, but I reckon 2-1 to the Lads, with Isidor continuing to hit the back of the net and Cirkin grabbing the winner.

Can't wait for this one!

 

Was it the one with kaiser chiefs bloke too. Going on like they're the only team with injuries, everyone is up for it against the mighty Leeds etc etc.

 

We can win this. But wouldn't be upset if we draw.
No idea what Leeds will show up. Results suggest they aren't hitting their stride yet, but arguably the strongest in the league so not losing would be lovely.

 

Are Leeds missing both their CMs?

 

Looking forward to this one, taxi booked for half 5 hawayyyyy

 

Ampadu and Gruev are both out long term yeah. Tanaka and Rothwell are pretty good replacements mind.

 

Still that's a canny loss for them that.

 

People were queueing for tickets at lunchtime, hopefully a decent crowd.

 

Tickets have sold very well today. 42,000+ it’s looking like

 

Haaaaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaay!

think I might have a dodge over

 

Missed the Derby game so looking forward to this one even though its a sh**e time for a football match.
Think we've been bullied a bit in the last couple of games Would be nice to see a bit of flowing football again
But to be honest a result and another solid performance will do for me.
Another 1-0

 

Yeah I think it was. They were talking to a BBC commentator who apparently supported Everton.

I'm normally a really placid lad but listening to it really pissed me off. I really hope we batter them tonight

 

Off over to the Hilton for a couple of small Du Bonnets then off to watch the cuddlies hopefully win again.

 

If Gelhardt makes an appearance I hope he gets a good reception (until the game is on of course)
I’m sure he will.

 

Can’t make it tonight but still really looking forward to it, should be a good battle no reason we can’t win it

 

Smashing RTB .
As good as defence record is at SOL , think Leeds will score , so we’ll have to go for more. Could be an entertaining 2-2 , and won’t be too disappointed if it’s just a draw
