Match Day Thread Burton Albion v Sunderland - Saturday 20th February - KO 15:00

We are all on a high and you know how that normally ends with the lads.
But just got a feeling we've turned the corner on and off the pitch
Saw some stats the other day that LJ's current form is very similar to Roy Keane's first dozen or so games.
Keane then went on a massive winning streak.
Its going to happen again
as @Nads says 0 ****ing 4

 

Super happy at the moment and going for a 0-3 win!!!! (McGeady, Wyke & O'Nein)

 

Great thread as usual marra, got to be an away win tomorrow...

Ha’way the Lads

 

Was impressed with Diamond when he came on against Lincoln and I thought Gooch was woeful so for me Diamond takes his place. Centre back is obviously a concern but hopefully Wright is fit.

If he isnt, I'd move McLaughlin to centre half, Power to right back and Leadbitter into centre mid

-----------------------Burge-----------------------
C.Mac---Sanderson--Wright---McFaz
----------Scowen--Power--O'Nien----------
Diamond---------Wyke------------McGeady

 

Cracking thread again. Normally after a high we know what comes with Safc, but this time I fancy us to continue the good week. It won’t be easy as Burton are on a good run but I’m going for a narrow win by the odd goal.

 

Would be more than happy with that team thought the midfield were excellent first half last week
My big worry is that LJ tinkers again and goes back to a 2 in midfield
Think we should stick with the 433 and just rotate the players as needed

 

This for the rest of the season. We have great options in the two groups of 3 now.
If he goes back to doing the conga in a 2-2-2-2 or whatever it is LJ needs punching in the bollocks

 

I suspect formation and tactics will be dictated by who is fit!

Burge in goal and Wyke, Mcgeady strikers.

Sanderson is McLaughlin/Wright (fit) Macfazdean and Power/09

Is Scowen fit, Leads/Power 09/Neil

A winger, Jones/Gooch or Diamond

Burton have been playing wrll, I do not have as scooby do how they set up, but our own set up may need to counter it.

Burton fans thoughts on the game.

 

I was thinking the same.
Not sure about the 2nd half score yet

 

I will go for another 6 in the second half lol

 

Thanks for that

John Lennon seems to think they will get a result - not sure how he comes to that conclusion

 

To be fair our record is poor against them. That will change tomorrow.

 

Sure we will find a way to **** things up after this weeks highs. Gone for a draw, but it would be very Sunderland to get beat tomorrow.

 

You were 'lumping it on Lincoln', thought Doncaster would beat us easily and now think we'll f**k things up against the bottom team. You rarely seem to have a good word to say about Sunderland, the takeover or our 'clown of a manager'.

Something not quite right here.

 

Wyke with 13 goals in 14 games since Johnson took over, the bloke deserves a standing ovation for how he's managed Charles. If he keeps it up we'll most likely go up.

 

bogey has to be ended and without Nigel clough in charge, like next weeks game against Fleetwood no Barton in charge ! better get at them from the off.

 

HA'WWWWWWAY THE LADS

MACKEMS ATTACKEM

Usually typical Sunderland to fook it up in a game like this, bottom team, bogey team etc.

But I think we'll win this one.
It is reminiscent of a season, I know not which.
Maybe the Keane one as mentioned where we finished strong.
Here's hoping.

I wish Burton well for the rest of the season but not today.



And just for @Robref62

Here is Sunny the lucky Sunderland black cat again






Edit.
I've just realised it was Sunny's first birthday last Saturday 13th.
When we played Doncaster.
Definitely a lucky cat

 

A couple of them seem upset that we are still described as a big club. Getting crowds of over 20,000 in this awful division will do that, its obviously beyond their comprehension. I hope we batter the ****ing big time charlies (I hope that makes them feel better, me not calling them poor little Burton)

 

Lovely looking moggy, I've a black cat too...lucky goat incoming for today's game.
