2-1 to Oxford.
No need for me to justify my prediction- it will happen .

A lot is being (correctly) made of the Sunderland wingers v CM matchup. So with that in mind I’d start Whyte. I think he does an impressive amount of defensive work for a winger. Browne would still be a great option to have off the bench.1-0 Oxford
Get the ball down move it around and use the pace outwide.stop them playing and we can beat anyone.
Eastwood
Hanson Nelson Dickie Ruffels
Mousinho
Brannagan Henry
Browne Sinclair Graham
Goal from Mousinho
Set pieces will cause them issues tomorrow. One thing I think we may struggle with is the wings two CM against two CM, wingers going to have to work there arses of tomorrow.
I posted the below in the original Sunderland game thread, but Malc decided to close the thread 20 minutes later! So I've copied it below for those who may wish to read it or comment. Really not sure why the other thread had to be closed?!?!?!
"Well we've done it.
The club announced 10,108 sales about half an hour ago. I've just done a count up and make it as follows:
North - 2,322 (253 left) = 90.17% occupancy
East - 2,215 (664 left) = 76.94% occupancy
S Lower - 1,947 (355 left) = 84.58% occupancy
S Upper - 1,953 (221 left) = 89.83% occupancy
Away - 1,823
Total - 10,260 = 84.96% home areas occupancy
So a slight difference, (which may be to do with processing of sales?) but a good effort and possibly another few hundred to come. We've sold 162 since The Curragh posted five hours ago, (about 300 on the club's reckoning) so I'd think 10,500 is not impossible. It's interesting to see how the East Stand appears less popular than previously and I think this is due to the increased popularity of the North Stand.
Bloody good job we didn't give Sunderland that extra 1,000 tickets!!!"
Isn't it more expensive in the North Stand where some people seem to have chosen above the East Stand?Tickets still seem to be selling. Really is odd East Stand has lowest occupancy. Is there a pricing policy here to consider for next season?
I think every home match after tomorrow we should be expecting to win. The exception being Donny, but we should be comfortably safe by then.Starting from now, I think we need to go on a winning run. Players are in, injury situation has improved and we have a relatively settled squad. 1-0 win (Whyte screamer) 2moro then I think 2 more wins on the bounce. COYY
plus a few more before the cut off time of midday tomorrow, Id think ?10,209 tickets sold as of 6.20pm (that it correlating it back into the club's announced figures) - 100 in the last four hours.

The issue here is Browne tore them to pieces in reverse fixture so he has to start. The reason I would start Browne is Whyte looked very leggy against Burton so would give him 20-25 minutes at the end. Whatever wingers we start we will have a proper attacking threat off the bench for once.A lot is being (correctly) made of the Sunderland wingers v CM matchup. So with that in mind I’d start Whyte.

That’s fair. I wasn’t at burton so didn’t see Whyte there, so don’t know how knackered he’s looking. Assuming he’s recovered after a week off though, I was just thinking more, use Whyte to help Hanson nullify (Mcgeady?) and then, when they’re leggy after 65+ mins, unleash Browne.The issue here is Browne tore them to pieces in reverse fixture so he has to start.

I still remember that season when their fans were in the London Road and they threw pieces of broken-up corrugated whatever-it-was at us. That was mental, with many fans suffering nasty cuts.
Well the view from the east stand is pretty s**t and it’s a feeble sort of home end. It’s hardly the kopTickets still seem to be selling. Really is odd East Stand has lowest occupancy. Is there a pricing policy here to consider for next season?
I prefer it....and we are hardly Livepool.Well the view from the east stand is pretty s**t and it’s a feeble sort of home end. It’s hardly the kop
