Whitesince63 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 You just never know Mantra, this may be the point Sunderland slip a bit (clutches at straws!) from over confidence? I think we were lucky playing Ipswich when we did so let’s hope we can carry that on with some of the others? Like you I’d be more than happy with a point on Saturday.

Duck Egg Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I don't think we were lucky at all playing Ipswich when we did. It was inevitable they were going to start winning after the squad they'd assembled and it was perfectly set up for us to be the fall guys. Thankfully, we were too good and they won next time out instead at Lincoln. It's better this Saturday. Few neutrals will give us a chance. We might surprise one or two.

Members Rudy Posted September 23, 2021 Members Share Posted September 23, 2021 Sunderland will get a backlash against us, big pitch can spread the play really wide. I fear for us being completely overran if Sheehan and Sarcevic play together. Has to be Lee MJ & Sarc for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland threw away a 2 goal lead at Fleetwood last time out; far from unbeatable. Their fans are quick to turn on them if all is not going well. A point, at least.

Personally, I'd like sheehan to play further forward, as I like his passing and vision which would crucial in getting attacks going. Don't think Evatt would drop the captain though. Could do with a more vocal, authoritative leader type shouting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't reveal much, understandably, and the interviewer just bowls him a few slow ones to knock away gently. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he could maybe go without a right winger and let Josh move up further with Sarce instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think playing away suits us and I don’t expect Sunderland to sit back on Saturday so we might be able to play round them, would like to see DJ and More importantly Bakayoko back and that would give us a better chance. I’ll take a draw for sure, but don’t rule out us nicking it. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted September 24, 2021 Members Share Posted September 24, 2021 Not convinced that Sunderland are as good as they think they are. Suspect we will come away with something - possibly all three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted September 24, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2021 When the beat Accrington 2 weeks ago, there were 41 shots on goal in the game, Accrington had 20 of them. I believe they like to attack but are open at the back. I’m going for a 4-4 draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
