Drawn at home to Mags in FA Cup

[0321safc]

No idea.

I guess it depends what side both teams put out and whether they see the cup as a priority or not.

If both teams at full strength it’s going to take a lot for us not to get comfortably beat. But it’s a cup game at our place and you just never know.

Hopefully a close game, but a big challenge for our young team.

Ironically we will know more once they’ve played Chelsea in the cup and then after the draw, let’s say they beat chelsea and have Liverpool in a semi final first leg 3/4 days after, I really can’t see them fielding their strongest 11.

What I don’t understand is people saying it’s a free hit. No matter whatever the gulf is between the two teams, a derby as fierce as ours is never, ever a free hit. Get right into the bastards.

Patrick Roberts will etch his name into Sunderland folklore...either in this game or the replay at SJP!

 

[Hank Scorpio]

0-3 to the skunks.

 

[0321safc]

1-1 then get pezzled at theirs

This is my feeling, I would take that scenario now though. Them failing to beat us at the SOL would be a major boost to the club, plus at home they win almost every game, away from home they are markedly poorer.

Aye.

Though tbf, they played with Dummett and Kraft at centre half in the last round of the cup and looked comfortable.

They’re a good side, miles ahead of us.

It’s going to take something special to not get turned over, but you never know.

Mowbray will get the sack over Christmas so you'll have a new manager, the weather will be ok but your pitch somehow will have been over watered, you'll play a reserve game there on the day before so it will start badly cut up, we'll not risk players coming back from injury as it will be a very physical game with little finesse. 0-0.

 

[Fishpie]

All depends on the teams that are put out.

If Newcastle are pretty strong then they should beat us.

Ill go 1-3.

 

[NLawton]

I think a draw would be absolutely f***ing tremendous but it won't happen like.

 

[rivethead1970]

Don't think the fact that it's a derby will affect the result, they are way ahead of us atm. I'd be really surprised if we kept it to 3 nowt.

 

[chunksafc]

As long as the lads give everything and leave everything on the pitch then the result will be the result.

If we are getting battered I don't even mind someone snapping Bruno and Trippier in half.

I guess a lot depends on your injury crisis. I honestly can’t see him playing your strongest 11 if you have an injury list as hefty as now. When I look at your team now you seem to be one injury to say a Bruno or Tripper away from having to field sides that would be inferior to many premier league teams.
