FA Cup 5th round draw thread (Sunderland Away)

Good draw. They are not great, are focused on the league primarily and if we win theres a good chance of another decent draw.

 

Hope we go full strength for this.

 

We've said this pretty much every time. They're our bogey team.

Our draw may not have been the best, but generally it is all good for us because two of the big teams are going!

Having booked up for the original League Cup date, then did the rearranged game, then had a nightmare on the train getting up there last week could do without yet another trek up there.

 

However, it it winnable, we do owe them one and the draw means a lot of the bigger teams will be knocked out. Would imagine Sunderland will be focused on Wembley and relegation survival.

We let them win in the league cup game. Surely they can return the favour. Besides, they've already got their Wembley day out. Also, none of their players will want to pick up injuries for that final 2 weeks after.

It's not that bad a draw. We showed how we can completely outplay them at theirs just last week, but obviously just need to sustain that over the whole match.

 

The loss to them in the league cup is hardly comparable at all, we'll be taking this way more seriously for several reasons - bigger competition, we have very little in the league to play for, and they still have lots, plus the league cup final.
