Resting for play offs

not a bad thing imo

By Mayenda has some potential...see the lad getting better by the month and has to be on the field somewhere....some difference to where he was last season.


Some " fans " just can seem to grasp that a 19 year old can improve markedly

* just can't

Watsons performance a disgrace to the shirt and his profession today....and here's me saying he has a chance to be something special

was absolutely dreadful, think he'll play rest of league games ( thus protecting a player/s ) then benched for play offs

Would be laying us till the cows come home at todays @ 1.88.....what side he'll have out today nobody will be able to guess but what we do know is we have four " full backs " on the books and all are missing for one reason or another.

Surely he can't start Watson and i think Dan Neil will be rested anall.

i think Watson will start, as long as he plays none of our important players will get injured/suspended.

M2...just been reading - hope everything's ok

Le Bris says he knows the team "in my head somewhere"

aye, not great getting old, get pain where you didnt know could get pain.

On a positive note blood tests all back and all ok apart from the fact I'm half jackal.

Champion....I'm sure our performances are putting a smile on your face

16 shots on target in the last 9 games scoring a total of four goals... so a shot on target every 50 minutes

Mind after viewing the games i'm surprised it's been that many

we're just hustling man, wait till Reggie puts the money down , make Curley look like an amateur

....if only

oh and now Ive got shingles ffs.

Nasty business shingles, i had it in the left eye, spread to my nose and then me knappa.

Still handsome as though.

As previously stated I'm not won to moan.

Sounds like a pain in the arse.

yes, literally and metaphorically.

Staggered that Coventry are odds against to qualify ....have people not been watching Championship football these past 5-6 months

If i wasn't a Sunderland fan this would be a Richard Baerlin moment for me....

Im worried we could be out of the tie come Friday night.

Take away two worldies ...one from Mundle in top bin against Prseton and a cracking solo from Mayenda against Bristol City we've scored a total of ZERO golas from open play in the last ten games....how is that even possible for a team chasing promotion.

Spoke to about thirty people yesterday about whether we would win the play off final and all bar one owld gadgy who sits behind me thought wee'll get beat...

*  that was the play off SEMI FINAL...

If I was a neutral Id be selling a major organ to finance backing Coventry on Friday, odds against- wow.

Sunderland are a better team, and well rested.

were, earlier in the season, dreadful now. Devoid of confidence and belief at moment, be surprised if we even score a goL in either leg. .

Interesting to see what the board do if we go out with a whimper which is looking likely....this the RLBs third season managing and in each one he's hard a poor run of form which he's been unable to turn around.

I'm sure they didn't sign up for this style of football.

on a positive note   at least it saves a grand not having to go to Wembley...

aye

A grand?

Seen the RFO M2....back page asking seven writers their choice for the play offs....four go for Coventry to win it three for Sheff United - none for us or Bristol City.

Listened to various independent podcasts and haven't heard one plump for us to qualify...

Listened to plenty of people who like to bet and none fancy us to overcome Coventry.

Home come we are still favourites to qualify

Mind i like it better when neeone gives us a chance...me included

did see rfo wouldnt expect any neutral to plump for us, got to deal in facts . One write up had it all over by Friday neet- which is entirely possible- wouldnt shock me if we got a red card.

..still looking forward to it...just hope we're still in tie come Tuesday night.

If he sends them out out even trying to score me foots gannin through the telly

Been watching both series of Whatever happened to the last coupla months...opening credits don't half make me feel nostalgic.

Where's the concert at? ....surely someone will mention it and you'll overhear if it's local.....there might be a Flint in the audience who recognises yer

  not telling you......

Brian Glover, brilliant as he was in Kes

Porridge..." I read a book once....green it was "

Grayhawk you mentioned a "to qualify market" further up ^^ where is this ?

Av fund it

Only came on exchange yesterday...was going off books prices

1.75 with 365 to qualify

Shocking price...take away our excellent start in the first dozen games and we've won a grand total of 12 outta the next 34 games

Coventry drifting anall...been a best price 21/20 all week now 11/10

Quiet innit ?

Arny me here...M2s away to a gig ....abandoning ship

You lumped on the Sky Blues to qualify Tracker??

I wouldnt say lumped

Home : Wilson; Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva; Grimes, Sheaf; Sakamoto, Rudoni, Wright; Thomas-Asante.

Away : Patterson; Hume, Ballard, O'Nien, Cirkin; Neil, Bellingham; Roberts, Le Fée, Mayenda; Isidor.

Rudoni will rip Sunderland apart

Can't stop laggin here ..dunno whether it's nerves or owld age

Hopefully your commode has a soft seat auld boy.

Get a couple of beers down yersel, be right as rain.

Not as nervous as usual.
Want a decent performance though, at least.

They're playing better football,
but we're coping in defence.

Hope they don't get a goal early in the 2nd half,
because they seem up for it.

Good result at half time...very surprised that the manager played Mayenda and Isidor from the start...got a bit of luck but I'll take it.

What i was most worried about was their aerial threat from set plays but we survived it...Patterson got away with various episodes of rashness

Ballard excellent in the air

Eight cans didn't help with the slashing

8 cans, must have backed a winner

Ace lager (nap)


Has morp viewed the video yet?

back in the room , finished watching  12.45am.

Dunno what a winner looks like Tracker....i could stop a train at the moment

Did you manage to avoid the score M2??
