How do you feel the Derby will pan out?... an early barometer.

Just thought I'd throw this out there to see how you guys expect the Derby to pan out.... I'll run a similar poll the week before to see if there is any noticeable swing of opinion from this poll.
Personally I'm going to stick my neck out and go for a 3-3 draw.
I'm convinced it will be a blood and thunder affair and will also predict a couple of red cards (one from each side).

 

I'm always convinced we'll lose. The more we win the more I think we're due a bad 'un.

 

The points are ours to lose. I think we'll keep them but god knows

 

Hopefully as long as we can field a team that isn't injury ridden, we can win.

 

We'll also have played a match 60 hours before while they will have had a free week

 

A draw. What with all the injuries piling up a 1-1 draw seems likely.

 

I'm going for a 3-1 win.

This is my favourite score and I'll be buggered if I'm going to change it.

In all seriousness I do think we'll win this one and I think it'll be by a couple of goals.

 

Damn it Jim, so it's you that's jinxing my bets. I always do 3-1.

Think I'll change it to 2-1 now.

 

This. We have been nothing short of dreadful all season, and currently we look like we are only heading one way. If you lot don't win, I think it'll be because of your team cock up/don't turn up, rather than because of anything positive we do.

 

Mackems are in freefall. This could be a repeat of 5under1and.

 

Think form goes out of the window for Derbies - going for a 2-1 to us, but a lot is going to depend on what team we can put out

 

Draw 1-1

 

Definitely agree with this, form can go out of the window, plus our inability to perform in so called winnable games, and lets face it, should the worst scenario happen, I'm sure more than one or two Sunderland supporters would then feel they hadn't had such a horrendous season after all!

 

I'm beginning to feel like an even bigger pessimist than usual. Why can't i just relax and enjoy derby day???

 

They are due one and the fact we have all our best players injured and will have played in Portugal on the Thurs has led me to say Sunderland 1-2

 

I'll never walk away. Might get carried away in a box one day though with the frayed nerves finally taking a toll

 

I'd love to say this was just your usual pessimism but it is certainly a possibility.

If Debuchy and Cab's are back I would fancy us: Debuchy and Gouff won't be playing in Europe so will be fresh if they're fit. Cab's is an influence even if he is a bit on the tired side.
