[Archived] Sunderland Preview

[67splitscreen]

You think, or you know. It's about time someone with the official text came on here

We need a positive result, no early goal/goals given away, hold them for an hour, then let them have it.

They tired in midweek in the second half, 3 games in a week will take it's toll early in the season.

[Manc Rover]

Robinson, Jacobsen, Samba, Givet, Nelsen ©; Pedersen, Nzonzi, Andrews, Diouf; Roberts, Di Santo.

Subs: Brown, Emerton, McCarthy, Grella, Olsson, Kalinic, Hoilett.

2 Up front!!

Good to see Emo back. No Warnock, what a shocker!!!

Good to see Di Santo starting, i would have played Benni instead of Roberts though. Kalinic and Bert on the bench is also good to see.

[modes98]

Nice team selection, shame about the weak midfield but there isn't much else available. I would agree that Benni would have been my choice up top with Di Santo, but it does give us good options from the bench.

Good to see Emo back. No Warnock, what a shocker!!!

And not a word about him... Crap !

[doctorryan]

Lee doesn't mention Warnock at all.

The manager has been rejected by so many clubs it's embarrassing.

All about opinions

My opinion is that there isn't much between the 2 teams and it will probably be a close game that could go either way. Think a few in that list above might suprise you today though. I'm off to game now, hopefully it will be a decent match!

[67splitscreen]

Sam attacking everything in site, 3 points or bust.

[jonv]

Cmon Rovers, lets get this season going. Points on the board time

Watching from a far!

[Oklahoma]

We will win 2-0, Di Santo and Andrews scoring

[Sasha_]

Why is Craig Gordon on the bench? I was of the impression that he is quite good accualy.

[Mr. E]

So BFS starts Andrews once again.

[rovers1993]

think that is why warnock is being sold... so andrews can never be started again.

shuda scored.... chances come and we need to take them asap!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Great corner and great header by Samba, should have scored. Good start by Rovers so far.

[Dunnfc]

Di Santo ahead of McCarthy the boys got guiseppe rossi at newcastle marked all over him. not pleased.

[Miker]

Even the doubters have to be fairly impressed by our start thus far. Who said we don't play passing football?

[Silencio]

Di Santo ahead of McCarthy the boys got guiseppe rossi at newcastle marked all over him. not pleased.

Why?

[modes98]

Di Santo pulls hamstring

Kalinic on!!!!

[Sysagent]

Di Santo off injured

What gives???

Kal on

[hollowsr]

Brilliant, welcome to the Ewood Physio Room Di Santo, your not the first and won't be the last!

Over to you to try now Nic Kalinic

[imy9]

Rovers much the better side and dont say it too loud but we are passing the ball around

[Dunnfc]

Why?

I don't think the kid is suited to playing in the EPL.

I just have the feeling that i did when everyone was like wow newcastle got Rossi on loan, and looked how that turned out, a great player just not suited to it at such a young age.

[hollowsr]

Judge has just scored a Penalty for Plymouth

Fair enough. I think we need to give him a chance. Roberts should be bombed out. He's had three years and proved himself to be crap.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Good performance so far, just need to put one of these chances away. Our corners have been very good, Sunderland look shaky on them.
