Really tough one this will be.
Can easily see a 30,000+ crowd for this but hoping that works to our advantage. Sneak an early goal and let their home crowd put pressure on them
One things for sure, they will score goals and thats where we really have to stop these silly early goals we keep conceding, but they are not unbeatable as proven by Burton and Fleetwood even managed to come back and earn a draw
So far, they have beaten all of the teams currently around them and up near the top (MKD Wimbledon Wigan Wycombe etc) they even beat AccyStan when Accy were top of the league
So it can only go one or 3 ways😬😬
We either win a very tight scrap
Draw a tight scrap
Or get pummelled
Let’s hope the boys do us proud

We can do this⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Can’t see any reason to believe we’ll get pummelled rftr, not even been close to that with our current squad but it won’t be easy up there with a big crowd behind them. We just need to make sure we don’t give away silly early goals as we have been doing and even better get one ourselves to quieten the crowd. For me this one could go either way. I don’t think Sunderland are anything special and frankly I haven’t see a better team than us yet but as usual if we don’t take the chances we make, we can’t expect to win. A point wouldn’t be a bad result but I still believe we can beat anyone in this league if we just take our chances. On that basis though I sadly don’t think we will and I’m going to have to go for a 3-1 home win to Sunderland. :-((

Well I am obviously the naïve optimist on here.
We, deservedly, lost to Rotherham and the world has fallen in.
What is it? – 5 defeats since January?
We are a decent team. In fact, we are a good team. Other teams have worked out that if they pack their defences, we will have difficulty getting through but will Sunderland do that? No way – they will come at us and leave gaps.
Onto tomorrow, I expect John to return but other than that the same team.
I am travelling up for this so will go for my favourite 1-0 away win.

Nothing naive about being optimistic David. Like you I believe we are a very good team but we’re just lacking that cutting edge up top. We can outplay anyone as we’ve proved, including Rotherham last week but it’s goals that count as they proved and we just don’t have that in any depth in our current squad. I still think IE has done a stellar job with the resources he’s had and of course if the likes of Doyle, Sheehan and Sarce can produce and Dapo can keep producing, anything’s possible but I’d still like to see some extra power added in January. As for tomorrow, I’ve gone for a 3-1 defeat for us but in fairness I could just as easily see us winning it 3-1 if we take the chances I know we’ll create. Either way it’ll be a cracker so have a good trip and I hope you’re bringing back the 3 points with you.

be interesting to see if sunderland play one for one at the back with no spare man
I honestly believe it was tactics that beat us last week,its the 1st time a team has done that against us,as we have no pace up front and dont put the ball over the top.
We need a plan B

Big game for Sunderland this playing us will be there cup final and I think if we can keep it tight and not concede to early we can upset the home crowd I'm up for this 2-1 to Bolton stay safe one and all COYWM

We need a plan B There’s no doubt Rotherham got their tactics right grud but I think it was missing chances that really cost us last week. I’m convinced had Doyle not missed that sitter before half time we’d have gone on to win the game. I didn’t think Rotherham were much and it was yet again our failings up front that cost us. Let’s just hope that we do better today? |

Ian’s gone for the same side that got beat v Rotherham
Thought Lee or John in and drop Sarce to the bench might have been a better option
Sarce off the bench if there’s nowt in it would be a better shout but let’s see
