Game gets postponed, then replayed after round 46. Somehow both teams need a point for their respective goals and we play out a dull 0-0

And this alters the course of Sunderland's play off campaign....

Just can’t see us winning hope I’m wrong

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

We need to replace Sakamoto

Comparing the narratives around Sakamoto and Simms, you wouldn’t have thought Simms has the same amount of goal contributions in less minutes.

9 goal contributions for a winger isn’t amazing (certainly not top end) and there are games where he is ineffectual. A brilliant role player and facilitator but he’s not a player you build a team around.

We need more from our forwards, particularly Simms, EMC and Sakamoto.

Draw would suit us just fine, Pete.

 

[Otis]

Depending on what side we put out ...

I am going for either 2-2, or 3-1 to us.

So, we go 2 up, they pull one back late on and we are holding on for grim death, but then, as they send their keeper up for a corner, we break away and bag a 3rd

Just seen on their board that the GK, Kaminski’s father has died! RIP.
Kaminski is back in Belgium with his family, and Krul may be in goal tomorrow. Terribly sad for the lad, but it might just be the edge we need.

Imagine having somebody of the quality of Krul as backup

Safety first play it behind closed doors

I’ll take that, can’t see it being 0-0 neither of us can defend

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

According to their virtually unreadable forum it was a fire in their laundry room. No risk to the game but they'll have to play in skins tomorrow...

Changed my mind and think it was Collins now.

He could definitely find a way to set fire to a room filled with water.

Christ he can’t even catch a break

Unable to watch tomorrow ladies. Between the Pope's funeral then immediately after something last minute for my niece won't get a chance to see live. Hold down the spoilers til maybe Saturday evening. As a personal favor? Otherwise safe travels and all that.

 

[Lamps]

I think Lampard needs a defensive coach. I don’t think setting up defences is his strong point.

More like he needs a defensive bus. Then we can park it when needed.

I don't think a Dutch International who played in a World Cup is much of a drop off really. If we get a pen he is a bit of a specialist.

 

[skyblue025]

Just seen the keeper is back in the UK and in contention to start.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I had a dream we win 1-0.

Although we were playing Portsmouth and we had to score by getting it into a washing machine so make of it what you will.

 

[Pusb1]

They do have Adebajo and Doughty out for the season who are arguably their best 2 players

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

So many bad omens.

Apparently Liam Walsh is in outstanding form for them.

And Jordan Clark who has been on the winning side against us 14 times in his career is back. His last career goal was at Wembley against us.

 

[Viktor17]

it all depends which version of us turns up Sunderland / wba or Plymouth/derby.

if the former, we will get at least a draw.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Running London marathon tomorrow so I’ll be at the Expo when this kicks off picking up my number etc while watching on my phone in the absolute chaos!

When I ran last year it was semi final day and I made it to Wembley in time for kick off, in what was nearly a perfect day!

Hoping for a better result football wise this time as none of us want the pressure of relying on needing certain results on the last day.

Think we’ll either turn up on form and absolutely dominate eg WBA, Sunderland, or be absolutely nowhere near it but scrape a lucky draw.

We’ll see the best of Simms today just in time for the play offs.

 

[quinn1971]

Start like we did at Plymouth but hopefully score early this time, we score first we win, 3-1 Cov.

 

[Tommo1993]

Nailed on loss.

 

[quinn1971]

Nailed on loss.

perfect game for us after the Plymouth shocker, sit back relax enjoy the 3 points

 

[tom88]

Today the play offs will be done and dusted.

We won’t lose and Norwich will beat Boro today.

Spot on, they had their big result against Bristol city, we’ll have all the ball again. Just need to make some decent chances this time, simms masterclass after a bollocking in the week from Lampard

 

[Saddlebrains]

Just can’t see us winning hope I’m wrong

Nor can I, especially with Milan out injured

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Take out Carlton Morris in the first minute and we win the game

Horrible striker to play against, we need Simms to have the same level of aggression and physicality

Season over.

see you next year.

Oh Saddle I do enjoy your jokes

Not suggesting you’re wrong, however this was not highlighted by Frank Lampard in the press conference when he was asked about injuries.

Why would he?

 

[Ashdown]

I don’t predict our scores but feel a bit glum about this fixture. Tight pitch, team fighting for survival, physical bunch.
Frank is going to have to transform them from that shambles last week and get a bomb up the arse of all of our front three.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Why would he?

He was asked and made comments about several other players, but Milan not being one of them. Maybe it’s not as worse as feared or he’ll play through the injury?

I understand that clubs do try to hide significant news in relation to injuries, which is why I’m not disputing what you are saying to have truth, but I guess we will know for sure when team news is announced.

*Edit, if true that MVE is out as Saddle has suggested it’s a massive blow.
