@Saddlebrains will get in trouble if he mentions what the weather will be tonightStarting to think wing backs with 2 upfront might be the best way to start tonight?
Has saddle said owt about the lineup

So you want to play 4-1-5?I’m hoping for Simms and Wright to start up front.
EMC (if fit) or BTA off the left.
Saka from the right and Rudi/Grimes through the middle with Rudi given free roam.
You on the bag already?Think I'd go:
Wilson
Mve Thomas Kitching
Saka Grimes Sheaf Dasilva
Rudoni
Wright BTA
Bit of a random one, but can easily transition to 4231/433, MvE gives us pace to play a high line while attacking, BTA plays best in a two is my thinking.
Thing is with this is I hate our long throws ins. They are shit and loopy. I think we have one goal from them, so happy for them to be cut off.sky sports confirm that sunderland have moved their advertising board closer

I think that’s an actual skill though. MVE only has 1 out of 20 flat deliveries. I think we also need to stop being so focused on this headed goal thing. FL mentioned it in the press conference and it made us so predictable in the 1st leg. We do also have the quality to play through as well (as when we beat Sunderland 3-0) so should use that more.The throw we scored from was flatter and faster, we should try more of them rather than the loopy ones you've mentioned
He had a few games where he was fizzing them in flat and they felt really dangerous.Thing is with this is I hate our long throws ins. They are shit and loopy. I think we have one goal from them, so happy for them to be cut off.
I think they are overthinking things ,( A bit like England always use to do , When playing lesser opposition) , Always looking for what could go wrong. Instead of just playing their own game , That had got them where they are Now, Its 1- 0 at half time , Changing pitch layouts is just crazy , Their players will have to adjust As Well,Thing is with this is I hate our long throws ins.

What an awful time to be in the air. I missed opening day at Stoke for the same reason, was buzzing for the new season, expecting to land and see that we'd won... 1-0 win for Stoke.Urgh flying and plane delayed so will miss most of it.
Bobby Thomas starting up front instead of BTA, Lati, starting in CB.
I once read a Roy of the Rovers story that had a very similar plot, you never know it might just work.Bobby Thomas starting up front instead of BTA, Lati, starting in CB.
Hope we score from a corner, then what would the mutants have done?
The first shoulder barge will be interesting.
Would be ironic now if we actually score from a long throwHope we score from a corner, then what would the mutants have done?
Get a free one for a season if we make itIf we go all the way to the Prem what do folks think season ticket prices will go up to £700 plus?
I actually think it works in our favour. I have never considered them a threat, but the opposition have clearly demonstrated to everyone that they think they are, which will make them more nervous when one comes in.Re: all this moving the advertising hoardings to stop VE taking long throws...I don't think it'll make much difference to be honest.
Despite being vertically challenged, I had a long throw on me and was often used the same way in matches. Within 10 yds of the 18yd box and I'd get the nod to take the throw. You only need a couple of steps or you can curve your run up.
I'd love it if we get the opportunity in the first 5-10 mins for one and he launches one in and we score from it. Now THAT would would be good.
How’s everyone doing ? Nerves have ramped up a bit in the last half hour
all we need is a 1-0 win and you want to start MVE, who dropped a clanger in the first leg, as a wide CB when he's never done it before?Think I'd go:
Wilson
Mve Thomas Kitching
Saka Grimes Sheaf Dasilva
Rudoni
Wright BTA
