v Sunderland (a) - 26/12/22

[Herbie6590]

Which Rovers will turn up…Jekyll or Hyde ? Another Sky game but perhaps that jinx has been laid low after Norwich City ? 

Will Tony show Dack & Buckley round the home dressing room  ?

[tomphil]

Mowbray will have his one in 5 or 6 ratio front foot pressing all out games here i can see it coming. Despite the Norwich performance iv'e not much belief we'll go about this one any other way than the usual fannying about at the back.

The early tv slot has ruled me out but probably saved me a fortune and a lot of disappointment, credit to all who go.

Mowbray 3   Rovers  1

Sunderland have only won 3 of the last 26 games that they have played on a Monday (night), but Rovers are coming to town for this lunchtime game on Sky where we are rather iffy.

All the signs for a draw at best and I'll take that.

[Ossydave]

A lot of us are taking it easy on Xmas Day because we've got an early start boxing day (thanks again Sky).

Now that won't be so bad if we put in a shift and get a win. If we roll over again though you're gonna have one hell of a pissed off away end!

As always the brief is obvious, score first.

[Sparks Rover]

Type of game we win this one, Mogadon looking even more miserable than usual and the Sunderland fans calling for his head....🤘

[chaddyrovers]

I wish I was attending this game, as I think the Stadium of light is very impressive stadium. 

My team I would go for is 

           Kaminski

JRC Ayala Hyam Pickering

      Buckley Morton

Hedges Dack BBD

          Gallagher 

Subs:- Pears, S.Wharton, Travis, A. Wharton, Hirst, Szmodics, Markanday

I thought you wanted Dack banished to the far reaches of the earth?

abit extreme interpretation of my view on Dack. His last 2 performances have been good but he can't last 90 mins so if he stays we need to manage his game time well

Take your big coat, it's getting cold again by Boxing Day. You might be walking in a Diaz wonderland....

Arguably one of the coldest grounds in the league. The thing is made of breezeblocks. Take two coats, a hat and gloves.

Is there any update on Dolan injury ?

Still a nice stadium though. Unlike breezeblock Central at Bolton. Plus there will be the best part of 40,000 there I reckon. Maybe a bit less. 

 

[arbitro]

A word of warning to any Rovers fans going to Sunderland that coins and vapes are not allowed in the away seating area and they will be confiscated if found. But home fans are allowed them.

We have a good track record away from home against the North East teams. A win against Tony's lot would be very welcome. I still haven't forgiven him for the Peterborough away match towards the end of last season

[tomphil]

Coins and vapes etc banned, guess who caused that, i bet you'll never get it....?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

In court working, if any naughty people get locked up on Christmas Day. Hope to be back to watch on the telly. I hope we bounce back and spank their backsides!

Upper tier above home fans now i think.

[matt83]

After the debacle of the 2 derby days it would be a bit of a consolation to beat moggadon and his juggernaut.

Some of my unique brand of nonsense here should you fancy…

Enjoyable listen but...you called Burnley 'Blackburn' at about 22 mins.  I'm not sure how you come back from that....
