    In what should be the easiest league game of the next five. I'm asking what you really think we can achieve for this game? Faith is been tested for all. Some stand resolute while others crumble. Lets gage where the bulk of Not606 stand on this game. Private poll so you can be honest without being shot down. It's up to you if you want to disclose your vote in the comment section.

    Went for the convincing win mate (stuff the privacy) we have showed in fits and starts that we can play well and I reckon with this one we will finally click and get that little bit of luck that will push us on and, give us a bit of confidence going into the next 3/4 hard games.

    I've gone for the tough game but three points. We played well 2nd half against the Arse. KTF and all that.

    Sess will probably take 3 points, will that then result in a ban for him?<whistle>

    I went for scraping 3 points. I think we'll click when the mags come here and it will kickstart a very competitive Sunderland for the rest of the season.

    So far away from home we have looked pretty poor to be honest.

    Hopefully we can get three points but it will not be easy. A draw isn't bad. We do need a win though.

    I never called for MON's head and I won't be after Paolo to be sacked either.

    I don't think so, we've seen glimpses of class, gelling time will make it click I'm sure. Hopefully sooner rather than later. People say our home game run in are harsh. but I think it will work in our favor come January.

    Hard game, as they all are, but we have to start picking up points from somewhere. WBA seem to be lacking in fire power. Having said that, we always seem to be the team that teams and players who are having a bad patch seem to get it right against. Get the defending right and we can win.

    I think that we're are capable of winning, but cant get the thought out of my head that we will be let down....again! I wasn't expecting a win against Palace, but I expected us to play well. I just hope that the team sheet fills me with a little more confidence than it did in our last away fixture. As soon as I saw it, I knew we were gonna lose!

    We CAN definitely - if second half Sunderland turns up against West Brom we will most likely win (and if we get a fair referee - I don't even want a biassed opinion in our favour, just a bit of fair even refereeing) we'll see eh!!

    Gardner starts with Ki in midfield - I like the look of Ki (even though I openly said it was a waste of time signing a Swansea reject!) I will happily eat humble pie if he can keep playing like that.

    It seems like even the refs don't want Altidore to score.

    Same team that started against Arsenal except for Vaughan -0 get him out and Gardner or Cabral in there... Gardner changed the game for me - gave us much more impetus going forward.

    This! Other teams look forward to playing us I reckon! We always seem to play poorly and allow these teams to get the win! We never seem to compound their misery! Plenty of teams do it to us when we're in the clarts! And its always against us that some bloke who hasn't scored for 2½ years manages to pop one in from 45 yards!!!!!

    I really have no idea. We seem to play well against the teams we shouldnt and utter dire against the team we should/could beat. By all accounts this is a game we should and have to win as it will certainly boost morale not only for fans but the team as well (and hopefully get the press off PDC back). However, our form isnt great at the hawthorns and its all set up for Sess to be a little git and bury us.

    No our record at the Hawthorns is shocking, heart says they are as out of form as we are and we could get something but head says we will get nowt.
