We play better when teams have to come onto us rather than us trying to break them down......going to be interesting that is for sure....as Smug said......all the pressure is on them......HTL!!!!!!!

this is my guess at the moment
Ellborg
Hume Gert Alderete Reinildo
Xhaka
Diarra Sadiki
Rigg . Lefee
Brobbey
There doesn’t seem to have been as much build up as the 1st one. Not sure whether it’s because it’s away or what but hasn’t got the same feel as to it. Almost as if it’s going under the radar a bit.

I think the reason is we have a lot of injuries.
If we had a full squad available there would be much more activity on this thread and they would all be positive saying we would get at least a draw but because we have a very weak team due to having so many injuries we are far more cautious about getting something from the game.
Also, there’s not many options to put our predicted teams on here with so many being probably unavailable.
Maybe we can have another Leeds type of performance.
If Ballard and Mucky are out I have full confidence in Luke as CB.
We just need to play the game and not the occasion. There will be undoubtably be a lot of intimation...or at least they will try. Would love to see Brobbey 'kicked off' if someone pisses him off.....lol. Even with players out injured we have enough in the tank to do the business. Great if we got early goal but will take the winner in extra time. "Once more into the breach"......Love these games!!!!!
Some good points there mate.
I think it's quiet on the Mag side as well.
They know Sunderland won't be a soft touch and they're in for a tough game.
A newly promoted side losing away to a Champions League outfit carries no shame ...
... Newcastle losing at home to a team from the play-offs would cripple them.
Still zero nerves weve got this reg and the boys will do us proud.
I expect Reinildo and Roefs to start.
Will be a massive bonus if one or both of Ballard and Mukiele are fit. Geertruida was signed as a CB i think.
We go there with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Even a draw will break them more than they care to admit. A win and the phone boxes and horses will be in serious trouble.
I have every faith in the coaches and the players to make sunday as difficult as possible for the mags

I was thinking more on the club side. It hasn't really been mentioned until the post today. Just doesn't seem to have much build up
The state of thatGo check out their thread for the game

I wouldn't say zero nerves, but the worst that can happen to us is 'honours even' over the season while that's the best they can hope for.
