Sunderland match thread

[proclaimer]

Thought I'd give it a go this time.

No team news yet but given our good league position I hope we give the cup full respect with the best 11 available. COYS

Sky used the words "expected to a strong side" in their build up, or words to that effect. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Biggest game this season for us, we have to go for it!

[Pentridge]

Just hope we show up as opposed to they effort in the League cup.

Just having a couple of roady brews before I head off into town and watch it on the big screen.Know of a couple of Sunderland lads who are rocking up so should be a good night.

COYS

SAINTS: K Davis, Clyne, Yoshida, Hooiveld, Shaw, Wayama, S Davis, W-Prowse, Lallana, Do Prado, Lambert.

Subs: Gazzaniga, Fonte, Chambers, Schneiderlin, Cork, McQueen, Rodriguez.


I hope hooiveld doesn't score

Fairly strong line up. Hope the Midfield can support the changes front and back.

[Brockley_Jack]

FFS!!

So, what do we know about McQueen?

And how does Sunderland's line up compare to their usual first 11?
as many changes as us?

Just seen. They've made 9 changes!

Would have preferred our full strength team out, as with 39 points on board, I think we can afford to experiment/rotate players, during league matches.

And will be very disappointed if we blow this opportunity to progress.

Glad it's only a cup game with that lineup. Will be interesting to see what McQueen is like if he gets on, he did well for me at Wrexham in the Conference on Football Manager!

I know both Schneiderlin and Cork were knackered after the Hull game, but have to say I'm a little disappointed (and worried) by our starting line-up.

Just have to hope that their weakened team is weaker than our weakened team, and that Hooiveld can keep the ball out of our goal for a change..

COYS..
