I've watched the Hillsborough game a dozen times, it's only afterwards I can see the actual tactics, etc ... ... I was cool at Hillsborough and feel the same now, really excited all the same
I still think Neil will come up with some tactic or line up that at will suprise us and confuse the hell out of ainsworth
The final match thread of the season. Thanks @RTB for all your efforts and to @Nig for his contributions.Well I’m very optimistic that we will get the job done in a tense scrappy affair. Hopefully we will all be celebrating on Saturday night and looking forward to the first Championship match thread of next season. Haway the lads get it done and remember Keep the faith lads and lasses.
I for one hope we have to wait to celebrate more often as it would mean we are back where we belong the premiership. Not that I think they have got VAR right at the moment.
Yeah - I'm feeling a lot calmer after that interview https://safc.com/news/team-news/2022/may/neil-play-off-final-preview
Can't believe how relaxed I am about this. Perhaps the magnitude hasn't settled in yet. Perhaps it just feels time. It's not an arrogance thing at all - Wycombe are going to be a hell of a test. But I'm relaxed.
seems a few (some sky pundit, anyway) are under the impression that we all think the game is merely a case of just turning up and winning...we are nowhere near as naive as some seem to think. this will be a battle of two very determined sides and we know only too well if we give them a sniff they will pounce, i wish others would drop this 'big sunderland' tag, we are a third division team just like the rest of them and should we go up it will be because we have earned that right not because it was given to us just by us turning up to play.
Any idea when tickets are being emailed out? I ask as a person who only received one confirmation email, and each time i've hit resend email, nothing has came through. so I am getting a little anxious about my ticket.
The media will try to paint it as a foregone conclusion we will win - so that if Wycombe win its some fairtale. If Sunderland win its a story no matter what, as its the beginning of the "journey back". So the media have to find a way to create a story if Wycombe win as well, and they do that by making them massive underdogs, even though they were a championship side last year.
