iansums Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Ward-Prowse is suspended. This could get a bit tasty, the two forum geeks going head to head.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 This could get a bit tasty, the two forum geeks going head to head. Time for an epic rap battle...
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 It doesn't feel like a week that ends with victory and hope. I can only see another away loss, darkness and woe. This week was uplifted by a tory victory, lets hope we can continue that good fortune this weekend
sydneysaint17 Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 I'd go for; Davis, Clyne, Toby, Fonte, Bertrand, Wanyama, Reed, Djuricic, Mane, Long, Pelle. Need our best available defence, and got a feeling Djuricic's moments of creativity could finally produce something today.
SaintMB Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 This week was uplifted by a tory victory, lets hope we can continue that good fortune this weekend You're right, s tory victory really does put things into perspective. A loss today would be a minor blip when compared to such a bleak future.
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 You're right, s tory victory really does put things into perspective. A loss today would be a minor blip when compared to such a bleak future. Lets just hope the reds dont capitulate to the overwhelming blues to such an extent that it'll be so difficult to come back
SNSUN Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Not confident today of anything. We're seemingly limping to the end of the season and Leicester are flying. A draw wouldn't be a bad result today. It's peculiar that just a few months ago we'd have thought that Sunderland, Leicester and Villa would be a guaranteed 9 points. One thing I have done today is have a small bet on Clyne to score anytime. I have had a premonition...
Saint_Tony Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Just had a big bet on Leicester. Very worrying line up
syd_barrett_saint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 I bet Gazzaniga plays a blinder and everyone suddenly starts to think he's the answer while Forster is out injured. And then he goes straight back to being crap again.
Olly Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Say what you want about his ability, but Gazzaniga has to be one of the best looking players in the league!
Saint_clark Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Just had a big bet on Leicester. Very worrying line up Other than Gazzaniga, whats worrying you?
Matthew Le God Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Just had a big bet on Leicester. Very worrying line up Is it? Why?
Saint_Tony Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 I can't see us scoring, and I think we will definitely concede. Would love to be proved wrong
davefoggy Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Pleased to see Gazzaniga get a chance. I like KD alot but he has looked off the pace in the last couple of games
Convict Colony Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Think this will be a fair test for him, he showed last season v cardiff away he can do alright and our defence today is much better than that day. Hope he can put together a nice display and his kicking should be much better than wee had from kelvin and fraser. Good to see Harry getting a chance as well, this is what we should be doing now playing some younger guys and giving them a go to help assess them.
S-Clarke Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 I can't see us scoring, and I think we will definitely concede. Would love to be proved wrong And as you most often are, the chances are good for us.
syd_barrett_saint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Other than Gazzaniga, whats worrying you? Exactly, apart from the Gazzaniga shock (and really, can he be that much worse than Davis has been?), it's a good side. Toby back at CB is the most important... it might not even matter who we have in goal with that back 4 shielded by Wanyama and Reed.
markr27 Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 There's been a lot of noise for Alderweireld to go back in defence and Reed needs to start. Both of those are happening. Not quite so bad as at first glance!
Saint_clark Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Davis had to be dropped after the horrendous amount of time it took him to get down for that penalty the other day. Love the guy, but that was worse than my reaction times.
Edmonton Saint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Gazzaniga and Delia starting. Has defeat written all over it. Hope I am wrong, but don't think I will be.
niceandfriendly Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Devastating news about Gazzaniga. We'll need to score at least 5 and we haven't looked like doing that recently.
VectisSaint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Gazzaniga and Delia starting. Has defeat written all over it. Hope I am wrong, but don't think I will be. Don't think having Gazza starting would make much difference, we would concede at least 2 with Davis anyway. Makes sense to let Gazza have a run out, as he is more likely to be future than Davis. He has looked very good at u21 level.
Saint_Tony Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 And as you most often are, the chances are good for us. I've got more results right than wrong this season, but think what you like
James Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Gazza starting equals inevitable defeat. He is just awful. How have we allowed ourselves to be in this position?!
Matthew Le God Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Gazzaniga's main problem in the past when in the 1st team has been his decision making at when to come off his line or not. I think he has a lot of other good attributes and the decision making can be improved with age and coaching from a keeper coach like David Watson.
JakkoUK Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Get behind the players.. Jesus Christ the way in which a majority of poster here whine, it would seem like we are getting relegated. Come on Gazza prove these doubters wrong.
warsash saint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 What a bunch of bedwetters on here over Gazzaniga!! guys deserves his chance after u21 performances
Wiggles31 Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 I'd rather Gazza play than Davis. This is chance to step up. Don't think he has done too bad for the under 21s. Glad Reed starts.
Leo_ARG Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Good to see my fellow countryman Gazzaniga get a chance. I really don't know much about him, only that he is a son of a former River Plate goalie.
CB Fry Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 People worry about Gazza...I do myself, but then he's not replacing Forster is he, he's replacing Davis. They're both erratic is different ways, both could concede soft goals, so probably best to see if Gazza has a future or not. Poor keepers or not, it's the poor finishing that's cost us more in recent months. Elia has to do it today or leave. We need him now, on paper it's a fast attack. I just worry without JWP or Tadic there's very little creative passing in the team. Probably best to be direct, Pelle knock ons to 2 fast players against a poor defence. Could see a 3-2 to someone today. This. Kelvin has been playing for sentimental reasons as much as anything. I'd say the right thing to do to give him a crack before the end of the season, to see if he has what it takes [to replace Kelvin as third keeper next season].
Twiggy Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Ive been fairly impressed with Gazza from what I've seen in the U21s. Commands the box well and is off the line, something both FF and KD lack.
Saint_clark Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Only one midfielder on the bench? Long plays AM for us and Aldeweireld and Bertrand have both filled midfield roles in the past, but I agree it's strange - i'd have had Gape or McQueen on the bench instead of Targett.
Ken Tone Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 I've nothing against either Gardos or Yoshida individually, but I can't see why it is sensible to have 2 centre backs on the bench, especially with Targett so that we could rearrange in extreme emergency with Bertrand as a CB. Personally I'd rather see another young attacker ..... delighted to see Gallagher there though. Otherwise, and with every extremity crossed over Gazzaniga, it looks the best side available.
nta786 Posted 9 May, 2015 Author Posted 9 May, 2015 Gazzaniga- tbh not bothered- hes been sound for the U21s and probably deserves a go after Davis's poor performances recently... However- I fear Leicester will be far more up for it now if Sunderland result stays 1-0 to them!! Oh well- COYS!!
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 one point from a possible fifteen from our last five aways,not good hopefully we get something from this one but feel the momentum is with Leicester another ground ticked off for me coys That's the problem when every other team respects us so much.
Shance Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Hopefully under the guidance of Watson, Gazzaniga has developed a bit. Don't think we should take too much notice of his last stint, the defence in front of him were awful. Hope he plays well, the boy needs some confidence.
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Don't think having Gazza starting would make much difference, we would concede at least 2 with Davis anyway. Makes sense to let Gazza have a run out, as he is more likely to be future than Davis. He has looked very good at u21 level. This.
John Boy Saint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 Blimey the moaning on here thank goodness half you don't play for the team, beaten in the dressing room!! Kelvin's next game will be his 300th so maybe the club are being sentimental for next week. Plus Gazza has been tidy for the Under 21s, stick him between the sticks in the full heat of battle and you get a better appraisal of the goal keeping situation. Have some faith folks we ain't getting relegated.
simo Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 I'm probably going to get slated for this but I don't think Gazza's a bad keeper he just had his confidence shot to bits and has needed to rebuild it
kermitsaint Posted 9 May, 2015 Posted 9 May, 2015 With Steven Davis and Elia playing wide midfield I can't see any decent crosses coming in . They both lose possession constantly so the defence is going to be under severe pressure . How did it all go soo wrong ?

They both lose possession constantly so the defence is going to be under severe pressure . How did it all go soo wrong ? I think its more likely to be Steven Davis in his usual "number 10" role in a 4-2-3-1 system, with Elia and Mane out wide.
