Away Match Day Thread 02/04/2021 L1 Sunderland v OUFC

[Malc]

Our performances at Sunderland are not exactly brilliant. But today a brilliant show is definitely required. 1 point would be good, 3 fanbloodytastic.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Not expecting anything from today's game but hoping I'll be proved wrong.

 

[Scotchegg]

Pretty sure Ruffels won't be available with Sam Long returning at left back and Hanson staying at right back. Would be maybe tempted to make that my only change, but with Sunderland having 2 sitting in midfield that could leave us a little lightweight in the middle. Maybe play with either Shodipo or Barker on the left, Henry or Sykes on the right and Forde or Kelly in the middle to help Cam out.

Can see us definitely getting a point, and maybe sneaking a lucky 4 nil away win!!!

 

[BeechRoadBokelberg]

I think both teams will really go for this, resulting in a 2-3 away win!!

 

[Oufcad30]

Not sure which way it'll go, will be happy with a point, if we get all 3 then I'll be over the bloody moon.
Either way COYY

 

[Berliner]

Trevor Kettle will be on hand to cut down any flow the game has, making it a real scrap. Going to be won and lost in midfield I think.
1-1 with neither team happy.

 

[Oslernorth]

This is still a ground I’ve not managed to visit. Shame as it would’ve been an ideal weekend for it too.
Tricky game this. A draw would do nicely.

COYY

 

[yellowbow]

After this game our run in gets a lot less tricky. A win today - even a draw - and Ill start to get excited.

Really is a free game today. Most people will be expecting Sunderland to win, so if they do then most people will say expected that. Lets be coupon busters today and get a result. Even a draw will be a good result, a win well utopia lol. COYY

[oufc1991]

2-3 in an unlike Trevor kettle entertaining game with both teams going for it I actually think being the underdog could suit us in this game gives the players some freedom
COYY

 

[bashamwonderland]

Trevor kettle is an enormous t**t and his appearance at any game almost guarantees that it will not be entertaining.

 

[tonto]

Karl will no doubt surprise us again! I wonder if LCP will feature or if he will start with Dan.

 

[Essexyellows]

Happy with a point and anything more would be exemplary.

 

[The mighty Aldo]

Hoping we can come away with a point but Stevens and the defence will have to be on top form
Head says we will lose 2 0
