Jareth Posted March 11, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2015 Most media neutrals are looking at this and sniffing disaster for Sunderland. It does look that way, our form has been improving and theirs declining, on and off field. I think Delphino might score. 0-1 us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 11, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2015 Defoe likes a goal against us. I think this will be a really tough game. I'm struggling to see a win here. 3 wins in a row? When was the last time that happened? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Maybe Black Cat supporters haven't felt the existential agony we did the week before last, but they are certainly seeing this game in pretty bleak terms. Maybe it's too soon, but I don't detect the wave of optimism that swept through VillaTalk in last week and half. There's a lot of discontent and disillusionment.Here we are, same problems of whisperings of structural problems, lack of ambition or investment, poor transfer targets or strategy, in the middle of a seemingly endless string of managers. Nothing has changed In that time I don't believe we've seen 'the lads' playing out of their skins over a full 90 minutes AND getting a result...apart from a flash in the pan at the end of last season (and who can imagine a repeat!) Hope for the future...yes, faith...less. If Villa win I think that would be the end of my interest - 45 years - you can hardly say I've not given them a chance... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I struggle to name 5 Sunderland players. They have completely passed me by tits season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 11, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 11, 2015 It's a potential heartbreaker for Sunderland. If they lose this one, with the troubles they've got elsewhere and the form they're in, they could collapse as a side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We always win at Sunderland and Gabby always scores up there aswell. 1-3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think this game will be a lot tougher than many think. A win would be great but a draw won't be the end of the world. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted March 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2015 Was reading about Poyet and he's basically rejected the passing game to get points any which way they can. They'll do a Lambert, not risk much, aim for a point, sit back, play on the counter. Which means advantage us, because our team knows that particular gameplan inside out, and know what effect an early goal from us will do to Sunderland's confidence - if that happens then Sunderland won't have a plan B. Oh cruel mistress this optimism is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted March 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's a potential heartbreaker for Sunderland. If they lose this one, with the troubles they've got elsewhere and the form they're in, they could collapse as a side. It's this realisation on their parts that will make them a vicious opponent, I suspect. But both clubs are fighting for their lives. We lose this, and some of the despair of the week before last will be back. We're just out of hospital after a serious bout of loserdom -- we can't afford another trip back to the ward just yet.

Jimzk5 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 BBC WM Sport 95.6 @sportbbcwm Benteke is a doubt with a hip injury - Vlaar also may miss the game at Sunderland. Both will have late checks according to the OS, if both are out we will probably see the starting 11 from saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Very nervous for this one. Momentum is with us though, and the lads should be confident. Gab will give them nightmares running in behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
