They are getting very animated about the game already and believe they will beat us. To be fair they are coming good at the right moment and if their run continues then they'll fancy themselves against anyone. They are talking about us missing Moore and that it's been an important point in our season, they are correct in that, I really do hope he will return soon.
We're their biggest game of their season and they've only sold 3,000? Pffttttt call thi sens a massssifffff club.
I'm not sure a run of form is drawing with oxford blackpool and Accrington, and sketchily beating struggling Gillingham and Bristol Rovers. If you take out their 3 methods of scoring... corners, McGeady falling over, or a defensive error and there really isn't a great deal left.
Aren't the trains a bit of a nightmare for Sunderland fans on a Tuesday night? I think anything over 3500 is decent. It's a massive game but then they take that many everywhere I suppose some will prioritise certain games. Plus there's possibly Wembley too to come.
Like us, they've got their fair share of fans who tend to be delusional and are still of the opinion that they are a massive Club with a divine right to be successful. I have to be fair and say, the Sunderland fans that I know are realistic and realise that they have a long way to go to restore the Club to anywhere near their previous position in the top division. Spoke to a couple who are coming down for the game and they are saying that the best outcome as far as they are concerned, is a draw. Brother in law said he'd come and stay at ours and attend the game with my son and myself, but he's now changed his mind. He's seen us a couple of times this season and thinks we will have too much for his team and predicts a 2-0 win for the Reds.
With Moore yes I think we would have too much for them. Without him no, he’s a real handful for defenders (ooh err) Woodrow plus whoever just isn’t the same. We’ve only scored 2 goals in three games without him and nothing the clubs put out reassures me he’s going to be back anytime soon.
What’s their allocation? If it’s the full 4,600 with over 2 weeks to go still, they’ll sell it out. I remember Newcastle selling out against us pretty much Mid-week. And Villa weren’t far off either the other year mid-week.
