SUNDERLAND -V- WEDNESDAY (Play off 1st Leg) OMDT

[Doctor Duran]

No broadhead

[WalthamOwl]

We’ve got Bannan! 

[S1Owl]

calm down early Baz don't go gung ho them hamstrings can come back to haunt yer 

[NobbyStyle]

Great line up! 
 

Come on Wednesday 

 

UTO

[FlyingOwl]

I think it’s the perfect balance for the away leg and gives us some flexibility.

 

Replace Palmer with Hunt and it’s the perfect home leg team too.

[AthensOwl]

I feel better that Pato's in the opposition net, at least.

[WalthamOwl]

Really pleased Dean starts.

?formation 3 at the back or 4

[Kevan]

Surprised Hunt has been left on the bench as Palmer has that tendency to jog back on recovery, rather than sprint, which is a worry.

 

Hope we can defend successfully and score on the counter attack.

[TheEnchanter]

flipping come on Wednesday 

[BIG D]

Only Bannan and Johnson have more assists than Hunt. + he’s the better defender. So close to the right team Darren

That's the only surprise, really.

 

But we're on the outside looking in, of course. Who knows how they've looked in training, or what the medical team might be suggesting?

BANNNANY IS FIT 

 

COME ON LADS UTO

 

He's not my type, but whatever tickled your fancy

I've no problem with that team. Palmer is the more natural defender, and wingbacks wont be bombing on as much this game, so it makes sense to have a RWB who will stay deeper and play it safe. Hunt to return for the home leg when we might need to attack more and he's fresher- he did look a little tired on Saturday too. Can't forget it's only 3 days away, which I find utterly why they can't allow a few more days to recover.

 

So glad Dean is back, we need his experience and calmness so much for these games. Huge boost.

 

Great to see Bazza ok too. Only question mark is I would probably have started Patterson up top, as it's a game we may be on the back foot for periods, and his hold up play and work rate is better. Lets hope Saido gets a chance to make his mark to prove that call right.

happy with tonight's line up, COME ON YOU BLUE AND WHITE WIZARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nick the Owl]

Got to be the strongest bench of the season, great to see the strength in depth at a crucial time. 

[BIG D]

Scans team and sees Palmer. ‘Sh ite, Dean isn’t playing’ ‘oh yes he is! Ah, Jack is on the bench’

 

 

[BRADDO]

Great line up. Daz gone for the slightly more defensive Palmer in the away leg

Definitely 3-5-2. Palmer at RWB, Johnson at LWB.
