Emerson Thome Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 We've been great at home this season, but winning by 2 goals will be difficult. There is a big disparity between the top half of the table and the bottom half - so while we've crushed a lot of the bottom half, our home record against the better teams with 70 pts or more is a bit more even: Wigan - 1-0 win Rotherham - 0-2 loss MK Dons - 2-1 win Sunderland - 3-0 win Wycombe - 2-2 draw Plymouth - 4-2 win & 0-0 draw Oxford - 1-2 loss Bolton - 1-0 win Portsmouth - 4-1 win Ipswich - 1-0 win So out of those 11 games, 4 of those results would see us eliminated, 4 go into extra time, and only 3 be enough to win the tie outright. It will be a very different Sunderland team to the Lee Johnson team that came for an open game in October. Expect they will play more like the Rotherham team, sit deep and look to frustrate us. Going to be all about making a few chances count rather than having 20+ shots at goal like against the likes of Charlton, Cambridge, Burton, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Oh stop with the negativity. Make a thread why we can beat them at home as we did a few months ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Pato at RWB, Kamberi up front and bring back Theo? Unfortunately, not happening my friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeBilde'sTea Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Tough game but it's not all lost. Look at Bristol rovers yesterday. Or real Madrid last week. Football is funny, unpredictable, heartbreaking and sometimes wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Whilst I agree, the circumstances are very different tomorrow. Should we be winning a league game by 1 goal you have no need to push on for another, tomorrow we have that need thus changes the dynamics.

CircleSeven Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I absolutely can’t wait for tomorrow! Must win games are much more our thing than mustn’t lose. I have no reason to believe tomorrow will be anything other than a Wednesday win over 90 mins. If we are lucky enough we might even get to enjoy some extra time and penalties! The atmosphere is going to be mental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
