Match Day Thread Sunderland v Swindon Town - Tuesday 2nd March - KO 19:00

Really, reality stinks!

 

Got to hope with 2 games/wk the squad strength wil favour us compared to others if they have injuries like we have

 

Look at the other fixtures the night we play at Pompey. That could be a massive round of fixtures

 

I'm not overly concerned about our away form tbh, we're right up there form wise, maybe it's because teams open up a bit more allowing us to play the way LJ wants. We need to get players back and keep them fit, that's my concern.

 

No we got all three.

 

• Peterborough v Hull City
• Swindon Town v Oxford United
• Portsmouth v Sunderland
• Ipswich Town v Lincoln City

 

Yeah mate Pompey at Wembley aswell
We go in harder
Should be interesting

 

Not sure....portsmouth at wembley on the Saturday, maybe they will have one eye on it as well.

 

Doncaster might disagree with that mate

 

I like to tell myself Lee got his finger tips to it

 

I'd love to be there shouting my mouth off in their pub and in the ground

 

At least none of our players will get their heads kicked in if they go over the advertising hoardings.

 

Aye, they're closer than I thought. 3 straight wins. If we keep winning they can't catch us though.

We need the defenders back. Firstly to get 09 into midfield again, but also I can't help but think that it's on the players minds not to go too Gung-Ho, in case we expose the inexperienced defence.

 

Worried about Ipswich, can see them sneaking in the top two with the inevitable manager bounce etc.

 

Just done 5 winless before tonight mate, not a major concern, they need to win the games in hand, then we consider them.

Bigger threat than Lincoln, far better side.

I’m not looking at Peterborough, I think it will be between us, Hull and Pompey for second. Donny are a half decent side so you’re right to include them.

 

Amazing how many points Doncaster had to have accumulated given a dreadful run and seemingly not lost position.

 

Personally from what I’ve seen of them, I think there’s 5 better sides, excluding Posh.

We are one of those 5, and we have what looks a better run in.

Cook will do great there though.

 

09 great again tonight. The lad can literally play anywhere on the pitch. If Burge has a bad spell ( never happen ) I’d try him in goal

 

Wow. Things could change dramatically that night. Hope the boys go for it and don't have one eye on the final.

 

Fookinell 4th ,,, gerrin.
Portsmouth now taken.
Lincoln now there for the taking.
(Got to play them)
2 games in hand over Hull, there for the taking.

Automatic is now in our hands
