Match Day Thread Sunderland v Blackpool - Tuesday 12th February - KO 19:45

3 points Friday will put the pressure on the others.

 

Aye, and I’ve little doubt we’ll get them.

I don’t see Barnsley faultering, still maintain that squad size could cause Luton issues.

To be fair mate, if I knew we were gonna win the play-offs I’d love that sensation of ‘up on the day’.

Rarely does the expected happen in them so I’d sooner not chance it, but I’ll take promotion any which way cos we’ve got a tough 2-3 years on the Championship to stabilise and press on I’d imagine. We need to get up there it’s that simple.

 

What do we do with McGuire?
He wasn't in the squad on Saturday and unused on the bench last night.
His attitude and ability are usually good, he has that edge to him that winds up the opposition but he seems to have us this nose shoved out since the transfer window shut.
I'd have brought him on last night instead of Morgan who although he's done nowt wrong he's here on loan and I prefer our players to get game time ahead of loanees.
Jack's got to be scratching his head over what's best to do.

 

And there's the problem isn't it? I don't think JR knows his best team yet or even formation which is a bit worrying. We almost have too many options and I didn't think I would ever say that. The quicker we get to a settled 11 the better. Too much chopping and changing IMO. I like JR though and think he has a good fit for the club.

 

I’ve a feeling there’s a back story with McGuire mate.

I really like the lad, like his effort and pride. He’s lost a bit of form for sure but that’s common, I just think he’s gone from gaffers favourite to outsider and there might be a little something else to it.

 

The fact that on here 5 fans will have 5 different opinions says it all mate!

He’s doing a great job Jack but if we could find that settled side you’d imagine we put a run in.

At least we are in the fight, keeping it in the up side.

 

Doesn't help that our players wives keep on having kids, Flanagan missed training last week, Gooch dropped out pre game and now Power's wife has popped one out.

 

John Terry hasnt been up our neck of the woods, around 9 months ago, has he?

 

Terry only pumps team mates birds so it’s not him

I don’t think we can put the lads on a snaking ban, that won’t help.

 

If we have paid up to £4 mil for Grigg do we adopt out styly to suit him or not? If he guarantees goals then yes.
Do we need to more attack minded at least at home? Deffo looked better in the 2nd half when we had 2 upfront.
We have a bunch of midgets in the middle which isnt working.
SAFC players were absolutely effing terrified of their big No21. It was embarrassing to be honest. The same happened with Toney for P/boro earlier in the season.

Still were in with a shout and I will be back on Friday.

 

3-0 Grigg 2, Every team has slipped up this season and Luton are due to and we are due a winning run.

 

Booed off?? I’m unable to watch or listen!

 

Makes you wonder whether something behind the scenes is troubling us.

 

You're on the wrong thread, lads
