Sunderland v QPR | Match Thread

[SheepRanger]

I've got a busy few days ahead, so setting this up early.

Sunderland are in fourth place and can't move from that place, whatever the result. Im expecting them to put a weakened side out to rest their key players for the play offs.

I'm still expecting a defeat, but would prefer to see the younger players start in a game that will likely resemble a training session. Just bench the out of contract players because they've done their bit.

Club statement that Marti has been placed on gardening leave and won't be with us on Saturday.

Not looking good with the coach having one foot firmly out the door...oh well there's always next year!

Both feet firmly out the door now!

Not sure I've fully recovered from the turgid 0-0 I saw there last season. Was 0-0 at our gaff this season wasn't it? Blow me, both sides would probably agree to phone in another 0-0 right now and spend day sunbathing instead.
It's gonna be 0-0 again isn't it!?

Will be interesting to see how much of Cifuentes' playbook BeCalm (see what I did there..) dump or use I suppose....

Get Ahley Trujillo on the bench and give him 15 mins at the end of the game.

Is anyone actually going? I'm getting this perverse urge to go but if there's just gonna be a few hundred of us stuck up in that top tier corner it could be very flat and dull if the team are in flip-flop mode (and let's face it, they will be won't they).

It's a 2 way thing for me , if I see the players giving it their all I will do my best to attend .
Spent too much money , travelled too many miles this season watching games where if we had put more effort in we could of come away with something.

Finally we decided to drop paal. Hopefully the Brazilian gets 5 mins. Just to give him the experience. Just basics like having a few touches in this league up against grown men. Nice to see Murphy on the bench again.

Not sure how ashby gets a start. Lack of options I suppose. cmon lads. Give us something to feel optimistic about heading into the summer. Good luck to Xavi and Kevin today.

What happened to Nardi??
Is he injured ? Being given the night off? Had his head turned? Put down tools?

[Dono77]

Makes sense to give Walsh a go. Nothing to read into.

Fantastic move
