**** Sunderland v Bristol Rovers match thread ****

[Deleted member 7101]

Flanagan out? Don't think Ross said anything about that at his conference?

 

[Billy Fish]

Ha'way the sheet, got it's work cut out without the Flan man

 

[Kenna]

I'm not so sure that's true tbf. Neither look good enough though.

They both aren't the greatest but I think Ozturk is an absolutely tragic defender, for his size the one thing you'd expect him to do well is win balls I'm the but he can't and he's the slowest CB I've ever seen play for us and that takes some doing.

Looks like it’s nailed on Oviedo away in January.

Aye, he makes Oshea look like Usain Bolt

I'm off my tits on codeine and sitting wrapped in a blanket, hence lack of wittiness and weather information

Not bad. This is a good starting team. As usual we'll start getting battered by Bristol, who will be trying to prove something. Hopefully we can boss them first half back and get a goal in or 2 before halfers. JR half time talk usually fires up the lads and we'll come out and finish with another goal - and we take all the honours. Ha'way the sheet!

I now know these Match Day Threads are not easy to launch...

Team looks fcking mint after having watched Sunderland Til I Die!

I agree but it'll be a huge wage off the books and we've done very well without him. That's probably why SD was tweeting yesterday saying we'll be in a position to strengthen in January

 

[123SunTan]

Me - wanting a comfortable win instead of a nervy win - is that being too greedy?

yeah right. I've just watched upto ep 5 and wow we were shit last season

 

[steve30000]

f***ing poovens

Nope. It's perfectly reasonable to want a nice easy win. I want it too. I just had a bet on us for 3-0.

It’ll be interesting to see if their captain Tom Lockyer looks decent, quite highly rated at this level.

 

[FLATHEED]

Some interesting games this afternoon Barnsley v Pompey and Coventry v Luton.

 

[Smartin]

Just happy Sinclair isn’t starting.
