Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Preston North End FC – Tuesday 11th March 2025 - KO 19:45

Great thread as usual @RTB, and a good read as usual.

Like that team, looks all out attack.

I'm going for a 3 - 1 win to the lads, with Ididor, Mayenda and Jobe on the scoresheet.

Just hope Jobe avoids a yellow. A couple of early goals and maybe seen him subbed in the second half...really don't want to see him pick up a ban.

Ha'Way me Bonny Lads, do us proud, again.

 

At first I thought it’s a bad idea risking Jobe getting a card but in reality, if he does get carded it will probably do him a bit of good having a couple of games off.

 

Wow! That is a very attack minded lineup.
There's definitely goals in this game, so I'm going 3-1 to the lads.

Well cant say Regis is cautious with that line up. Probably not how I would have gone, but game on as they say.

Haway the lads. Every game now for us is a big one.

 

Wonder if mayenda will drop into the 10 out of possession? Either way we will be lightening on the break, give them something to fear everytime they come forward, like it

 

I just hope everyone happy with the 442 don't moan if we lose a bit of the control in the midfield, and realise old school 442 rarely had inverted wingers.

 

Totally accept that but I am glad he is willing to risk it to go for the wins we need in the hope of automatic.

 

Like the look of that team. Really attacking at home, as it should be. Fancy us to score a few tonight like.

 

I like the line up, interested to see us play 4-4-2. I would have told you that formation was dead at the start of this season, but there's no denying we look exciting whenever the 2 strikers play together. Now is the time to try it.

4-1 Mayenda 2, Watson, O'Nien

 

I want the team to give a masterclass to trash the usual biased Sky co-presenters (Jobi Mcanuff & Sweetman-Kirk exemted) pre meditated scripts.

 

Sam Greenwood, here we go.

 

Seems to have a decent performance against us!

 

come on lads lets do the buis

 

Stadium looks half empty

 

Mags will be all over this

 

Watson should have tried for Isidor there?

 

Need to tighten up in possession here

 

Been an iffy start but O’Nien has been sublime

 

This game has a real feel of dead rubber about it

 

Quality from Mayenda

the lad has gone from the bench at Hibs to premier league quality in less than a year
