Boro in the cup

I can see Pulis playing a strong side to see what he has as a squad, us, god knows what team we will play. Nothing but a big defeat i guess. But if you look at my predictions in Jerries you will see i havn,t been very good at predicting lately.

Well looks like we're really struggling to put a team out....Coleman has said Steele will start,the rest is anyone's guess....probably a lot of youngsters in the team nevermind on the bench....could go either way....hard fought win or embarrassing defeat??

TBH OBC I wont be embarrassed whatever happens. This is a game we have to play but I'm not sure how many fans are getting excited over it. For me it's a chance to get our walking wounded fit and some new blood in.oldblackcat wrote:Well looks like we're really struggling to put a team out....Coleman has said Steele will start,the rest is anyone's guess....probably a lot of youngsters in the team nevermind on the bench....could go either way....hard fought win or embarrassing defeat??
I will listen to today's game but my head is at Cardiff next weekend and I'm actually excited about Cookie and his transfer dealings, especially clearing the decks of anyone who does not want to be here, long overdue. I was not sad to see Grabban go and hope Kone and N'Dong will follow soon.
We are bottom and struggling but we are still one win from moving out of the bottom three, lots of twists and turns to come.

I guess I am very much in a minority but I quite like N'Dong but he is no M'Vila mind.

Okay for the first few games then just gave up mate. Much like most of the decent players we get then move on after a season/year

Time to give the u23 a chance it’s a game we can afford to loose, like to see him try beading and the other New Zealand lad a chance at CB can do any harm we need to see what they can do in a competitive game

I'm in that minority. Quite a decent player an put the effort in. These days we can't attract the quality of M'villa. Don't get Syd's comment about not sad to see Grabban go. He's our top scorer. Let's just hope Maja, Asoro and Woodburn deliversunderpitt wrote:cyprussyd wrote:TBH OBC I wont be embarrassed whatever happens.

Cant score from the treatment room and I suspect oce he knew he may get a move the injury kicked in, at least that's what I read into commentsKipper wrote:I'm in that minority.

Re: Boro away match day

Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup clash at Middlesbrough was simply a ‘bridge to far’ for Sunderland’s injury-plagued squad, admitted Chris Coleman following a 2-0 defeat at the Riverside Stadium.
The Welshman was without 11 first-team players and he handed a full debut to Ethan Robson, who impressed throughout, as Josh Maja led the line on Teesside.
Rudy Gestede opened the scoring after 10 minutes as Adama Traore shone during the early exchanges, and Tony Pulis’ side delivered a hammer blow on the stroke of half-time as Martin Braithwaite doubled their lead.
After the interval, Maja struck the crossbar and Ty Browning forced Darron Randolph into a superb save, but Boro refused to be breached as the Black Cats exited the cup at the first hurdle.
“Before we arrived here we knew it would be a mountain to climb because we have so many players unavailable, but I saw good things today,” said Coleman.
“There were some pluses but I just felt we needed a goal in the second-half and it could have been a different story, but we hit the crossbar and Randolph has made a great save.”
He continued: “You need one of those to go in but again we got into good positions in the final third, and we just lacked that focus for the final pass or cross, that little bit of quality.
“When you keep doing that you can get a bit despondent and I saw that in the players, but you can’t afford to do that and you have to keep going no matter what.
“We know where we are in the league, we’ve just been knocked out of the cup by our local rivals, and we’ve taken a ton of fans away again – I just wish we could give them a little bit of something to feel good about because that’s two defeats on the trot for us.”
Coleman also reserved special praise for debutant Robson following an impressive showing.
“Marc Wilson played in the centre of midfield – out of position – with his sleeves rolled up and trying his best, and we had a young debutant in Robbo and there’s nothing for him to be worried about that’s for sure.
“He’s got courage because it’s not easy to come into our situation where every game we go into is a must-win, as when you’re bottom of the league fingers are pointed and questions are asked no matter how old you are.”
He added: “He came in and I thought took the responsibility brilliantly.
“He played well, used the ball well and wasn’t fazed so good for him, but him and young Maja and Asoro are only going to get better.
“It’s hard yards and it’s tough now, but all the experience they are going to get will make them better."
