    I expect Stewart will be told to run them into the ground until half time then decide if AOB comes on to continue the routine.

    Maguire is great as a sub in the last half an hour, never a starter tbh.

    Looks like he wants strength and experience for n the middle to try to stop Taylor. Do that and a lot of their game folds, but he is a talent and if he wins the battle in the middle we will have problems. Big call by LJ, I also think the plan is get it out wide to avoid the middle of the pitch, which is awful, then fire the crosses into POMO with two big men to attack the space.

    Who they gonna double up on? They can double up on the leagues top scorer and leave the 2 best wingers in the league, or they can double the wingers and leave 2 strikers man on man, or they can double all 3 and leave a striker and 2 others free.

    Its a really savvy selection, Ferguson will be frantic trying to work out how to combat that and try win the game.

    2 way of course we haven’t as much cover as we’d like, but **** it, let them worry about us.

    Smart. Thats the word that came in to my head looking at that team. As usual, he's thought about the opposition and how to play against them.

    If Stewart and Wyke can occupy three defenders that gives McGeady and Jones the space to cut in and fire shots at their dodgy keeper ....

    ... at worst they'll win free kicks and possibly a penalty.

    That’s where he’s so fresh isn’t it, he plays the oppo. Not the game. Not the occasion. He plays the oppo.

    I love the bloke.

    And when he does, it almost invariably has an impact.

    He’s been a perfect appointment to date.

    Thoroughly likeable as well.

    from the pics just posted on f/book they are soaking the right wing and corners, looks like they want to play narrow and stop our crosses, could hopefully bite them in the arse as they are gonna be stuck on one style, we can change ours to suit.

    Aye Jones and Geads have no form for cutting in and shooting.

    Expecting a very tight game today. They’re the leagues top scorers and we’ve conceded the least, could cancel each other out and end up a draw.

    But I’m sure LJ will have a plan and plan B or C if needed to overcome them. BTTS Sunderland win 2-1 Stewart and Wyke.
