I'm glad to hear, the squad seems really tight and with a full season we will be looking really strong. FL has shown he has a clear direction of play and I'm sure he will be clear on the players to be brought in. Stats wise, we actually scored plenty of goals this season (only Leeds, Burnley...

Sounds like a few players will be shifted this year. I'm going to be the odd one out, the squad we have has good players... (we made top 6 and played Sunderland off the park both games). We struggle to score goals yes and we concede possibly more goals created by our own mistakes than any other...

I'm hoping Hadji has the right boots on tonight.... Was a shame seeing him slip on countless occasions. Tonight we need everything to go for us!

I'm going to slightly defend our strikers, we don't give them great service and with playing so possession based, it slows the game down. They're often surrounded by 2-3 players before the ball has a chance to come in, if it does get played to them unless their touch is immaculate they're...

Don't forget, we were 2-0 down at the SoL earlier this season and we pulled it back 2-2. This time it's half time and we're only 2-1 down.

I'd be shocked if we change the formation. We're a goal down, need to remain calm. It's a long 90 minutes for Sunderland.

I'm going to be boring here.... I know it will feel like we need to throw everything at it from the off but I can see Lampard being very calm over this... I think he will set up the same, potentially bringing Wright centrally and EMC on left (for as long as he can remain on the pitch)...

We will win this game! I’m so sure of it. I’d imagine it’ll be the same line up too, could potentially see us working with 2 up front also. Sunderland set up and played like Plymouth did to us, men behind the ball and we struggle to break it down. I’d imagine we will be well in tune, much more...

I don’t think we need to change the team too much to be honest for the next leg, it will genuinely be a tactical decision to be more direct…create more chances, likely to see a tonne more crosses into the box from us, longer and faster paced balls. I’m feeling good about the return fixture.

Disagree, we controlled the game start to finish. Very similar performance wise to our 3-0 win last time at the CBS, we just lacked the creative aspects. We simply struggled to get passed their low block (something we have struggled with all season, Plymouth, hull etc). Sunderland had 2 chances...

Don’t forget, Derby under Lampard lost 1-0 to Leeds in the play off semi and won 4-2 at Elland Road taking them through. We’re no strangers to coming from behind, if we can pull back 3 goals against Man United within a 25 minute span then we can get a result Tuesday. An early goal would send the...

It’s easy to sit here post match and critique. There were lots of good performances on that pitch, lacking a little creative juices in the final 3rd. I genuinely think we will do the job on the away tie

Tough to watch tonight. Surprisingly I feel bright about the return leg. Gameplay Sunderland were very poor offensively (strong defensive). I felt that we were a touch slow in build up, there were a number of times BTA and Rudoni had promising runs in behind but we played safe passes. Listen...

Good to know cheers. I thought it was applied across the board for dogso… shame for the tie mine I feel Sheff Utd have been poor.

I genuinely thought the double jeopardy rule applies in this situation, no red card? Dreadful cover on defence but if I were a Bristol fan I’d be unhappy

Sakamoto is a very tricky winger, he often skips passed players by fine margins (through their legs or dinking it around them). Sometimes it won’t happen, the defender may just be able to judge it on the day and stop him playing his game. I think that’s where we will expand our squad next...

Wilson 8.5 - stepped up. First touch gave me a heart attack 😂 Massive character in the goal, not sure if it came across on screen but in person you could see him shouting and commanding the box. Some of the clearances were as impressive as the saves. MVE 8 - thought he was great. Intercepted...

Early goal would be huge with that crowd! League record attendance?

Regardless of the team, we back our lads. I'll be in block 10 cheering them on, shouting at the ref for a pen every time our player is in the opposition box and gets touched....calling for everything. We've had some poor officiating and our turn for some luck is due. We know we concede goals...

Collins will 100% start, have to accept that. We can all agree he's not at the same level as Dovin but from a team standpoint, we need to be doing better going forward. We've lost our prowess going forward over the last few games (excluding West Brom), not creating as many clear chances, not...
