Sunderland AFC vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[wittonwarrior]

Very much a mirror image of the Preston away game earlier on this season. Will take the same result 0-2

Yes I'd bring Jack in if fit and go with 4141

Sunderland are shit, on their arse and there for the taking.

1-1

BOOOOOOOOM!

Frankly, we should have far too much for them: but that's what makes me a tad nervous. Let's hope-to-God Bruce gets the show back on the road - so we can start putting the pressure back on Colin's mob. Failure is NOT an option.

1-3 Villa.

I think if Jack starts, it will be at the expense of Grabban.

I'd start Jack on the bench with a view to giving him a run out towards the end (or earlier if things aren't going well)

I'd go with the side that Risso named. I'd like to see how we fair with Jack in for Hogan but I can't see Bruce going with that straight away.

Will not be easy but to go up we have to win games like this. Jack and Albert on the bench, last 25 let them loose.

You going or have you gone back?

For me Hogan has to start because it's a great chance to get him scoring again and having a finisher in form makes such a difference. Grabban can play from the left if we're looking to fit him in.

[SoccerHQ]

Grabban should start ahead of Hogan on current form.

Sunderland, despite their propping up the table, can score goals, and do battle, which is to be cautious about, and so we need to we score a few,
Still, we should win at Stadium du Light.

Not any more they can't.

Adomah should play on the left

I’d play Grabban ahead of hogan

If grealish isn’t ready to start we should in theory be able to “get away” with 442. If so, I’d maybe play Bjarnason and hourihane as they’ve got more mobility

I like him. Something of the unorthodox about him.

Just watched the Sunderland - Millwall highlights

Basically Sunderland scored from long range and then Millwall had a success in of half chances from corners, one of which went in and several went close

Those Sunderland fans are prone to leaving the stadium once two down so I hope to see a repeat of that before the hour

With that beard, he has something of the Orthodox about him.
