[Archived] The Sunderland Preview

[bennyboyt11]

Just got in from work and saw the team.

Now I was one of the few who wasn't really upset with the signing of Fowler as I thought fair enough, he's a decent backup player if we have injuries or suspensions. I certainly didn't expect to see him starting today when we could have been giving Carlos a go through the middle. I assume Benni is missing because of the girl as others have mentioned otherwise it's mad he's not even on the bench.

Surprised Haworth has just been giving a squad number and is now in the starting lineup, chance for the youngster to show what he can do, surprised he got the nod ahead of Judge though, I thought he was the more promising.

Is Haworth starting on the right or is it Derbs with a different formation?

Also anyone know if highlights are on ITV tonight as usual? I would check but the newspaper would require me moving.

ITV at 23:40 i do believe mate

I see the Axe was booked after quarter of an hour, wonder who was nailed?

[bennyboyt11]

every live text feed is about a free kick to sunderland... this is ridiculous!

[novella]

if roque comes on this better not go to extra time.

After Sunderland dominating the 2nd half so far, Samba has just shot wide.

Samba shooting? How are we lined up tonight?

Maybe the Beeb confused him with the Axe!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Howarth off, Roque on.

[bennyboyt11]

spurs 4 -2 liverpool

hyypia

[cn_barlow]

Derbs to do his usual ineffective role out wide i take it!

[1864roverite]

Sounds like another stirling performance form the anonymous ROBBIE FOWLER.

Look at that Imy, an experienced premiership centre forward playing out of his skin NOT.

WE LOVE YOU ROQUE

[novella]

think that proves how much we have been missing him. absolute legend!

[92er]

Flick on by Samba and a goal from Roque.

Sunderland might have been hoping for off side.

[Bobby G]

There is only one Roque Santa Cruzzzzzzzz..........

And on his return.......If we sell him we will surely go down....Its vital he keeps us up this season and then leaves a hero...

[philipl]

RSC straight on and scores WOOHOO

First Rovers attempt on target!!!

[92er]

Goal for Sunderland.

Offside.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Brilliant.

Well done Rovers!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Won't count.

[Rovers in America]

Well, Roque looks to have made an immediate impact.
