Popular Post CourteenerOwl Posted May 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2022 What we all thinking and how do we all want the team to set up? Personally, I would like us to set up like we did away at MK. We pressed and set our stool out early that day. I don't think any of us want a repeat of Huddersfield away, and play for a draw. Also Brighton away, many of us 100% cannot handle an away day like that on the old tickers. We all know Sunderland fans get on the teams back, so an early goal is crucial. Our best form of defence is to attack. I actually trust Moore to go there and set us up to attack. I cannot see him doing a Carlos away at Huddersfield at all. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I can’t imagine anything other than his 352. And with the pick-itself-Xl they only know one way to play, which is perfect to take the game to Sunderland. If we see a change to formation I’d be really worried hes over-thought it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourteenerOwl Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 I don't doubt he will stick with 3-5-2. I am just hoping that the mentality within that formation is to press and attack. Not sit back like we did away at Huddersfield that time. We played the usual formation that day but there was no desire to get forward or press. We just wanted to get back to Hillsborough level. Let's get back to Hillsborough in front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 We need to learn from Carlos’s mistakes in the playoffs If we setup to draw we’ll be playing in league one next season 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck Rogers Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Just keep doing what we have been to get in this position in the first place. The players know how to set up now, are comfortable with it and has seen us score goals all over. Doing anything different would be madness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo89 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Set up like the last few games and attack. A lot of teams in this league can't cope with long periods of pressure, and once one goes in, the other team gets stretched and we can again attack and use the space created, or counter attack. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Something similar to the Dons a few weeks back would be nice 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Watch the Huddersfield 2017 first leg back. Do the opposite. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I know there have been other threads with the stats for the ‘advantage’ of playing at home for the second leg and it isn’t that high. Personally I’d be happy with a draw but it’s pretty much impossible to play for a draw so play for the win and cross our fingers I guess. Clearly it’s good news that we have the best home performance in the league. But looking at the home/ away table Sunderland are the second best. We are sat next to each other in the away performance table as well. No one can call how this will go but I suspect small margins will make the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 It can be nothing but all out attack, especially if Dean is available and fully fit. The only question is does he start with Beres or MDL. If Sunderland play a high line (I don’t know what they do), I suspect he will throw Langers in there to stretch them in behind, leaving Beres and Windass to come on from the bench and really push them, in the last 20.

Inspector Lestrade Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 So we have the best home record in the league and no one thinks it would be a good idea to get a draw at Sunderland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s29wfc Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 We can't play for a draw otherwise we will come unstuck cos let's be honest we can't defend and soak up pressure for long periods. BUT if it does happen to be a draw I'd be over the moon. We get out of there with a draw in that first leg and we'll go through imo. Nobody can live with us at home and in front of a packed Hillsborough I'm even more confident. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Win away 1-0. Win at home 2-0. See you all in London. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I’m sure we were all pleased at the time with the 0-0 at Huddersfield 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
