Has Modric retired? Perisic is about 47.

Agreed. Their whole team was lethargic that day. I do think tthe readon why there is such a disparity between their home and away form, is that they get away with outright aggression at their place, whereas refs penalise them more away. That coupled with the 'home crowd' effect.

I can't stand the little sh*t, but he works his nuts off every game ( particularly at St Andrews/Knightshrad/whatever) One of those who you want in your side, but hate as an opponent. Effort over skill, though.

Cajuste is injured, isn't he?

Big thread on the Sunderland forum re: DK'S comments about 'dominating Sunderland ' over 2 legs!

Non league team at home. 30 points for attendance. £60 a ticket. Love Doug ❤️

A lot of chances we concede ( see Charlton) come from MVE being so high up the pitch, and getting caught on the break. Wouldn't happen if he sat back, but then you lose his attacking threat.

Yep - players with 'established' PL teams won't jump ship, if they have lucrative contracts. We'll have to sign players with a 'wages drop' clause if we're relegated. Probably going to have to raid Europe, where wages are lower ( like Sunderland have). Maintaining a strong feelgood factor will...

9 points, I'd want. Minimum of 7, i'd take. Just want to get to the window to reinforce the troops.

In talks with a PL club. We ARE a PL club !!

I'm worried about all of our next 4 games (given our injuries). Already worried about Dickie scoring from a set piece for a game that's third in the sequence. Mad how your brain can take you on strange journeys

If Simms gets injured, we'd be in the mire.

When we went to Rochdale away, we met his dad in the pub and he came to the game on our coach iirc! I'd had two shandies, so my memory was/is a bit iffy! Jamie is a Rochdale lad, for context.

That's practically as good as a win for us. Brilliant result. Well battled Oxford. Great save by the keeper from Akpom too.

If Oxford only draw tonight, that's still a great result for us. Come on you Yellows!

So important that the fans are up for it tomorrow. We need to be the proverbial '12th man'. Expecting to win can lead to a flat crowd if we don't get an early lead and, with the upcoming games, tomorrow needs to be 3 points.

A centre back pair who take no nonsense, but can play. A better version of the two thugs Blues have at the back ( Klarer - who looks like a Bond villain - and Neumann, )

We'll throw the FA Cup this year - or, more bluntly, field a very weak team. If we are playing a L1, or Championship team, lump on early, as we know what will happen.

20th Dec - 4th January isn't 9 days, unless you're unconscious from the Xmas drink and miss a few out!

If we pick up 1 point from the 2 Ipswich games, I think that will be enough. It means they can only gain 3 points on us over the 2 games. Still leaves a healthy gap. I've said elsewhere that I wouldn't be shocked to lose all 3 of those fixtures , but it needn't be catastrophic if we hold our...
