    It was my sister in laws birthday yesterday so my brother has booked them a couple of nights in a hotel. She was excited for the mini break until he also told her they were going to Derby and he had secured them both tickets for the match <laugh>. She has no real interest in football but was laughing on the phone because he made it sound like a romantic get away when really he just wanted to go to the match.
    Fair play to her though as she knows how mad of a fan he is she said they can have a meal before the match and then a few beers round the ground before kick off.

    The joys of being a Lads fan <party>

    Seelt and Poveda playing for u21s tomorrow
    Browne back in full training next week
    Watson and Mundle couple of weeks away

    Assuming no further injuries, bench is going to look ridiculous

    I'd rather they said that and then surprise us out of the blue with signings.

    It's better than farces like the Will Grigg saga, or loads of hype only for it to fall through at the last minute.

    Why has it got to be. Ballard makes less mistakes and is better in the air. Surely not an easy choice.

    I think I can help, the club were taking a few returns last night, I’ll ask …

    … incidentally it’s Chris Waters birthday today I believe, great lad to have at the club.

    Edit - Yes, two adult paper tickets, Sunderland section, collect at the ground <cheers>

    Because ballard has been poor this season and has just come back from injury

    100% hes better in the air than O9 but O9 has played better than Ballard has this season

    Thanks again RTB
    Can see a solid performance and 3 points, lets just get on the pitch and produce a solid performance and bag the 3 points, I would rest Rigg and move Le Fee inside with Mayenda out wide causing chaos. I will say 2-0 to the lads with a goal for Wilson to cheer him up after Friday night.

    would love.statement win tonight...3 or 4 nil, would be great for us to put a team to the sword.....But in reality a 1-0 win will be just fine. All about results now I guess

    In reality a 1-0 win is a lot more likely than 3 or 4 nil. We struggle to beat teams comfortably, our games are always tight

    Not that it matters - 3 points is all that counts tonight. Must win

    Apparently they have a lot of injuries too so hopefully we can exploit their weakness and have a comfortable ish night for a change
