He generally took a lot of whacks in the week. Probably just needs recovery.

I posted it further up the thread, was on NYE 2016, Barnes got the fourth from the spot and Defoe scored for Sunlun

And if one of these 2 gets injured we're really in the mire!

Interesting indeed. Ball should be on the deck , most of the time at least

Andre Gray got one against Sunderland didn’t he?

Jedi Master's quite right; it was a Premier Leaguer match.

The table I'd read has the match listed as a Championship game - oops

We don't exactly have a plethora of options do we. and they combined fairly well towards the back end of last season, so it's not like they've never played together before, and they run Fulham ragged in the cup, so they have that to give them confidence, and I've no doubt we'll get chances today, the question will be can we be clinical when they come.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Sat Feb 20, 2021 2:46 pm

It will be a mix of some long balls and some playing through mid field

That was because of the standard of Sunderland's defending!!!

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sat Feb 20, 2021 2:48 pm

The worry is though, how fit is Vydra? Not fit enough on Wednesday, but starting Saturday. Fingers crossed because there ain't a lot else (No offence to young Joel!)

We need to get through the game with the same eleven that start because that bench is frankly embarrassing.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Feb 20, 2021 2:52 pm

Sadly these a few posters on here wanting them (especially Vydra) to fail and will be on here if they do being very smug about it

It looks very windy down Turf Moor way. Maybe playing the ball on the deck for a change will help us at least beat the conditions.

Well if that's the case then they are stupid, if he fails then the team is more likely to fail, so surely we should all be willing him to succeed, as it's better for the team as a whole.

Greetings from SW Ontario. Currently minus 4 with light snow furries. I don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about today's game, starting 11 is pretty strong however the bench is thin too say the least. This should have been a win for sure under normal circumstances, I'm thinking a draw may be all we can muster today, hopefully the lads will come up with a win

One positive is we have a week off after today to get some players back before a stretch of tough games.

No offence to the kids, but that bench must be the weakest we've ever had in our PL history, and I sincerely hope we're not chasing the game in the last 20 minutes, because I'm struggling to see any of those subs making an impact on the game.

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Sat Feb 20, 2021 3:02 pm

Lost the toss. Does that mean most of our goals will now come in the first half?

One of their players was in our half before we even kicked the ball.
