Hopefully the start of the usual Mowbray collapse.

Jack Clark a decent player for them not sure but I thought that Roberts was out for the season or am I getting mixed up with another player who was banging goals in for them.

I think its Ross Stewart their striker who is out mate

O’Nien is a dirty little shithousing fucker with little skill, and left one in on Vik the first game.
Can’t believe the things he gets away with, usually lunging tackles and stays on the pitch. Maybe Fadz can get close to him at some point on Saturday, and give him some back hahaha

 

[jordan210]

We should have signed O’Nien a few years ago. He is the type of shithouser we need when trying to kill and game off and slow it down.

Gus is 19 games without a card, I'd let him off one if he did this little c**t !

A modicum of footballing ability would be nice though.

I wonder to what extent "Ability to spot a good shithouser' features on the person spec for the currently advertised Senior Scouting roles?

I did just look at his stats and he has 1 goal and 1 assist this year. Was expecting a lot higher the way Sunderland fans go on about him.


obvs he will now score on sat.....

 

[Great_Expectations]

Not been this excited for a game since pre WC. Cannot wait.

Also fairly confident we’ll get the result too and contribute to the annual Mowbray downfall.

Agree re O’Nien he’s such a poor footballer, however I am worried he’ll end up injuring Vik. Especially as Gyokeres often pulls onto the opposing RB and he’ll clearly have his pants down so I’d expect O’Nien to retaliate.

However, while he isn’t the ideal attacking threat, Bidwell is as solid as they come and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go in on O’Nien whenever he gets the chance…..

 

[Astute]

2-0 to us. No recognised striker. Several players are slow compared to ours. And we have Gyokeres back on form as well as our defence.

If we get an early goal it could end up a rout.

is it really 19 games ? Wow ! Where was this version of Hamer last season ?

Considering the speed of both Wilson and Fadz, that has come to light when they're charging down the pitch to celebrate another of Vik's goals, I'd imagine if O'whatsisface does try to damage one of ours, he's gonna get surrounded pretty damn quickly, even if he's in their corner quadrant.

This is what I'd call a PMA. Good stuff.

Sounds like the sort of player we need.

I hope O'Nien gets his legs broken the first minute to be fair.

They have Gelhardt on loan from Leeds, scored for them last night.

We should have enough quality to beat them.

 

[jordan210]

Having just watched the goals from last night. If we can get Palmer and Gus playing in Vik constantly he should have a field day.


We just need to be quick create space and run at them.

Keep him on the pitch.....until he gets sent off. He gives it a lot of effort but he isn't that good. Wouldn't even make our bench.

 

[WestEndAgro]

O'nene or what the little twats name is, is being blamed for both goals last night on the Sunderland forum.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Found this funny on the Sunderland forum (a comment about the bi-polar nature of football message boards):

A week ago you had posters cheering on Sheff Utd dropping points, as we were on the verge of rampaging up the league and overhauling a 90 point gap. A week later we're heading into a 'must win' against Coventry, just to keep the season alive .

I love this place. Its like simultaneously receiving a strip tease from Salma Hayek, while out the corner of your eye you can see Therese Coffey grinning at you, lubing up the anal beads in a rubber glove.

 

[shmmeee]

21 now. Nothing since his red.

The thing that I smile about is how he seems to enjoy discussing things with referees. He even went back to shake the hand of referees when subbed off on occasion.

They don’t like it up ‘em

 

[alexccfc99]

From their manager right down to the fans they’re a proper entitled bunch they’ll be foaming at the mouth come 3pm Saturday hopefully

 

[coop]

Fingers crossed keep 11 on the pitch and I think we should have enough. Can see a red card in this game though hopefully for them.

 

[jordan210]

I was going to put penetrate.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Tough game. They have done incredibly well so far this season and though I don’t see them (or us) making top 6 they are more than good enough to get a result. Hoping we win but half expecting a score draw.

He's like Michael Doyle, but without the cunning.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Ignoring O’Nien they have a fair number of quality players. If we aren’t at our best we get turned over-so focus on our own performance.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

They have a whole thread called 'Must win' referring to our match, and nearly all of the posts say we are a good team, most not 'expecting' a win, it will be a tough game, and not one insulting comment about past history etc. I'm sure it may appear later, but it was/is a balanced sensible thread.

I have a soft spot for that part of the world-really a shame that nonsense from the 70s was allowed to be used 45-50 years later.

Well, he's got the first half...

 

[Frostie]

On O'Nien, these are just last night...

Ignore the Ogbene flop in the first clip, that's not even O'Nien (or barely even a foul) but can't link the second vid without it for some reason.





Sunderland fans don't even think they're fouls btw.
