[Archived] The Sunderland Preview Mark II

[Alex Rover]

The team according to official text is:

Robinson,

Ooijer,

Samba,

Zura,

Warnock,

Simpson,

Mokoena,

Andrews,

MGP,

Roberts,

Santa Cruz

[herbergeehh]

Robinson

Ooijer, Samba, Zura, Warnock

Simpson, Mokoena, Andrews, MGP

Roberts, Santa Cruz

The probable line-up? Could be Ooijer at left back and Warnock in midfield, but if that was the case we wouldn't have anyone in right midfield. Also, Sunderland did create some problems down the wings, didn't they? Warnock slotting into the left back position sounds like the right thing to do.

Mokoena and Andrews should fit each other well too.

2-0 win Rovers.

Who is playing on the right? MGP?.. and Warnock on the left?

[BRFC1995]

team suggests ince is wary of sunderland threat on the left or wants more height in the team for dealing with kenwyne jones. Would have liked carlos upfront with santa, but the option as an impact sub against a static defence could work.

first time i've seen a team with mokoena in where he is'nt the most ineffective player there, baffling that pederson still gets picked!

[cn_barlow]

we need a settled side....

[herbergeehh]

Great options from the bench:

Derbyshire, Tugay, Villanueva, Judge, Brown (GK) and Treacy

And Fowler.

Ugh. What's the point?

Anyone figured out the side yet?

[Lurid Coat]

I think Simpson is playing as right wing today.

Quite the impressive midfield, eh - one United loanee, The Axe, Andrews and a completely out of form Pedersen. I'll get behind the team nevertheless, though, and hopefully we'll come away with three crucial points.

[Presty On Tour]

Still no chat room

[BuckyRover]

Andrews sets up Warnock for a great chance.

[Amo]

Most reports say Simpson doesn't get forward enough at full-back. Let's hope he sorts that out today.

[BRFC1995]

warnock should/could have scored, chinese commentators got excited over it!

[Sysagent]

Oooo nearly a Cruz header!

Seems like we are piling the pressure on early...

[James No. 7]

Pleasant November day and perfect 50F temperature. Can Rovers spoil it by losing ?

Yes they can !

You are optimistic in your pessimism.

[BRFC1995]

its a great start, need to score though

[Sysagent]

Gamst in good game shocker?

[philipl]

Roberts as useless as usual so far. Sunderland coming into it more now.

[BRFC1995]

roberts still got no first touch ball just bounces off him

sunderland must be in single figures in the posesion stats

[RibbleValleyRover]

We are dominant so far in terms of possession, but we are just missing that killer final ball.

[Rovers in America]

Gamst in good game shocker?

He's been pretty deadly on corners and free kicks so far. I think all 5 of those corners in succession were pretty much spot on.

[cn_barlow]

how are we lining up?

[imy9]

Andrews has been impressive so far, good with possession.

[philipl]

About as much idea as Mr Ince has which isn't much.

But we seem to be having the better of things.

Watching a massive hail stone storm here at the moment.

story of the season so far mate.
