olblueties Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 How do we think Saturday's game will go then? Thread really about the poll, see how confident we all are. Danny has taken us on the road 17 times and guided us to 6 wins, no draws in that time. With wins at QPR and Blackburn Rovers in the last 2 away games , both by a couple of goals, 2 scoring draws at Hillsborough in between then followed up with a resounding 3-0 thumping of W.B.A in the last game, we should be heading to Sunderland with a quiet and real confidence of coming away with another positive result and finishing the season 6 games unbeaten also. We couldn't be travelling there at a better time, Sunderland with 3 losses and 2 draws in their last 5 games at Home and managing only 1 goal in that time. I'm going Owls for the 2-1 win.

bradowl Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Only had the one draw away this season at Leeds so well over due another one. I just hope one if not both of the two teams below us are getting soundly beaten so we aren't shittin our sens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Was speaking to a Mackem work colleague at our Durham site yesterday and he says we are nailed on for a win with how they have performed since they got rid of Mowbrey. Said they have a lot of younger players in the team not ready for the Championship and they can't score, defend or create anything ! So 3-0 to Sunderland then. He likes Wednesday so said he was happy for Luke O'Nien to play in goal on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesh Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Rumour is they want Will Still from Reims as the next manager but would cost £5m compensation unless they waited til this summer, others are linking them with Röhl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cifuentes is also in the running and although he's said he'd prefer to stay in London if he doesn't get what he wants out of QPR then he'll be leaving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 If compensation stopped Still I suspect(hope!) the same applies to Rohl unless it’s the same situation ie a compensation /release clause reduction in the summer but I’d guess the most likely trigger for that would be L1. Another issue was how many coaches a manager wants as I understand Beale also got the job as he was one of the few willing to work with Dodds and the current backroom team rather than bring their own people in. Rumour in Sunderland is that the manager gets announced shortly after the last game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a whopper he is… ‘oh it’s so funny that he jumped on someone’s back when they threatened to breakaway’ or ‘his handball recently on the halfway line that stopped a certain attack’… Bugger off. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel confident also mate. We go there and the opposition have little to nothing to play for. Their players have downed tools as our lads are hitting the form of the season. If we can't feel a degree of confidence on the back of 3 wins and 2 draws in our last 5, ,5 goals scored in our last 2 away shipping only 1 and 6 goals in our last 2 games in general, I'm not sure when we will. Not misplaced confidence here either looking at our results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a dream the other night where it was 6-0. Mind you I had a dream last night where Chansiri had sacked Rohl and announced it the morning of the game… so a) I would prefer to be completely wrong on both counts and b) I need to get out more 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olblueties Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Ugbo looking good for his 8th of the season, 3.6 for an any time goal. Can't get Windass assist, nor is there a goal or assist market to get him in PP. Don't think he's scoring, got a feeling he's assisting one tomorrow.
