    Thanks as always RTB can’t wait for the team sheet gona be interesting hopefully we can come out on top in this one and just keep a little bit of pressure on the top 3 teams, on the Watson debate I’d start him and see how professional he is if it’s not happening then that’s his lot hopefully the former and we get a good last few games out the lad COME ON

    Cracking thread again RTB thank you. Be interesting to see the team tonight I'm told jobe hasn't travelled but take it with a pinch of salt and Hume maybe injured. Do we rest Hume as we know he's had a problem. I'd play him if he wants to play. Time for a few of the reserves to show what they are capable of including TW. I'd play him and see how he goes. If he loves Sunderland as he says he does he will give 100%. Be good to get a win and see a few of the others above slip up just to keep things alive. Fingers crossed for 3 points and safe journey to the lads and lasses travelling. Haway the lads.

    Said it a few times that I have a soft spot for both Norwich and Ipswich due to my army links to the area. But I’ve got a good feeling about this game and reckon we will give them a damn good thrashing.

    Just seen a graphic showing the championship table if matches finished on 75 minutes. We’d be 2nd with 79 points. Granted if my aunty had bollocks she’d be my uncle.. but I know people love to get it in there and make a point of mentioning RLB getting it bang on when subs aren’t made and we manage to get the win over the line, but that is pretty damning evidence that our game management last 15 needs work.

    Who were you with in that area mate? Was AAC when I was down there and I assume Wattisham Alwas the airfield then aswell. I was based in Colchester as RMP and a brief stint attached to SIB as I decided if i wanted to pursue that career path, only went to Wattisham a couple of times. Colchester had closed all the small barrack and built a new garrison and the RMP had their barracks refurbished a few years before I was there so was modern accommodation but Watisham was a dive in comparison.

    I was REME attached to 1 Royal Anglian in Hyderabad Barracks Colchester. 89-93. Best part of my army career. Did two tours of NI with them. Met the current Mrs K in Colchester and we got married in the garrison church in 1993. Then I went to the RLC in Abingdon and hated every day I was there, not helped by an utter arsehole of an ASM. Left in 95 and joined the cops.

    Hume carrying a knock Jobe also slight injury, i would play half the reserve or even the under 21 team team from now on, i am worried about these last 6 games we have this bad luck with injuries season after season and already Mundle out for the season, we won't get top 2 so 2 points and 4th place now, i wish the season was finished to be honest and then the play offs, Marco on the radio said January window was bad and that is it they should have signed more players to allow for this or got loan players back, if we win tonight do we still take that chance/risk ? should be a good game though Carrow road a tough ground to go to i reckon 1-1, i would go all nearly defensive as a practice for the first leg.

    Norwich always scored goals but they aren't good defensively. This will be another good win for us if we manage to pull it off. I'm surprised Norwich are as low in the league as they are.

    Josh Sargent is probably my favourite non Sunderland player in this division and he's in goalscoring form. He'll open the scoring but we'll come back and win it.

    1-2 Isidor, Aleksic

    i still believe top 2 is on, i wouldnt have both watson and aleksic

    although saying tht, keep it tight and have isidor, roberts and le fee to bring on? although saying tht he hardly uses subs
