Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Middlesbrough FC - Saturday 21st September 2024 - KO 12:30

…until 5pm I’d expect West Brom to beat Plymouth. As long as we do our job

 

Well the run came to an end last weekend so I reckon there'll be a reaction to the result from both RLB and the players. Home win for me

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Mepham comes in for Ballard against Boro. I think Ballard is still playing catchup after missing the start of the season and he could benefit from being out of the spotlight for a game or two.

 

Agreed. It’s only a matter of time before Mepham forces his way into the side anyway imo

 

I love Dan Ballard as a footballer, but I don't think he has looked the same player as he did last season.

 

Looks like some sort of card display set up in the North Stand

I wondered how long it would take

 

Missed a good bit of preseason didn't he? Will just take some time to get up to speed I would think.

 

Chevrons?

 

I was just going to post this, no need to risk Ballard

 

Looks like it.

 

I also wonder if Wilson will start instead of Mayenda

 

@RTB - great thread again.

It will be a tough game in my opinion, but I do think that we can get the victory. Id agree re Ballard, he was shaky last week and perhaps does need to sit one or two out

Gonna say 2-0 to the lads

Hawaaaaaay

 

He did Disco, he picked up an injury against South Shields and only came back for the Portsmouth game.

 

I almost commented would be good to see Julio with his flag. Then I looked at photo properly.

 

I didnt see him at first

 

Are you on this photo?

 

Nope. Seen it on twitter

 

I looked again and realise a mate of mine from when I was kid is on it, I'm not looking again god knows what I missed this time

 

Just asking as I know one of the lads on it so was wondering if you knew him.
