barneyrubble Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Think frankie will be back today can see Corey back in central midfield with Magnússon centre half, reid and Fammy up front, pack smith centre mid ,not sure about wide players where we have most options. Think we will be back at it today can see us winning 2 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Going on our form against teams that come to stifle us, I think we're in for a long afternoon . The full backs have to step up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungRed Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Frankie(if fit)wright flint Magnússon bryan brownhill Pack smith Paterson Reid fammy for me. I'm sure this team (with the exception of baker missing) must have won us the most points this season and that's what we have to get back to) Need a win today I'm going for us to win 2-1, Diony with the winner off the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 As for my Sunderland pre-match post I think we might go 3 at the back today. Steele / Fielding Wright, Flint, Magnússon Brownhill, Smith, Pack, Walsh, Bryan Reid, Diedhiou There is of course a rumour that one of our strikers is injured but I didn’t understand @KITR’s cryptic post about whether Is was one of our two starters or not.

Phileas Fogg Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Think Diony will start today unless he’s injured. I think he’ll go Steele Wright, Flint, Magnússon, Bryan Brownhill, Smith, Pack, Kent Diony, Diedhiou (I’m making a wild guess it’s Reid who’s injured) I also predict Pisano on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 So many factors to consider, Sunderland's league position and their desperate fight for points, our poor form in 2018; the fact we need a good win to restore morale. What are the chances of it all to clicking for us today and a resounding city win? Here's hoping (and expecting) for a 3-0 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Think Steel in goal, Paterson rest. Eliasson starting? Think its time for him, good passes in to the box.

Davefevs Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 @spudski and @Robert the bruce - I really hope Smith is back in the midfield today. Think he’s been more creative too this season, even getting 3 goals! Plus his combination with Pack should not be underestimated. Johnson has no need to play him RB. He has Bailey Wright, and Magnússon to slot in alongside Flint. We saw at Bolton, that Bailey on the left side of Flint takes something away from his game, and our ability to play quickly from the back. Today is an opportunity to match Sunderland’s 352. I wouldn’t normally do this, as I’d rather impose our 442/4411 on them, especially at home, and make them adapt. But I can see it giving us opportunity to bring Walsh into a central Three and give him the scope to be the creative influence, and allow Browny (to quote Holden) and Bryan to play advanced in the expectation of getting service in behind a Matthews and Oviedo. Think Johnson won’t do what I would though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
