Sunderland game

Don’t think they have a huge wage bill tbh. Most of their signings have been youngsters with the hope of selling them on. I reckon they have one of the lowest wage bills in the league tbh

It’s probably more than people realise. They will have a few big earners

Diallo will be costing a fair few quid
Clarke will be on big money.
Ballard, Pritchard and Roberts won’t be cheap either. Bathh signed from at the time premier league Stoke so he won’t be cheap. The rest of the squad will be relatively low though.

2-0 for me, a McGree special and ex black cat Watmore off the bench to finish it off to rub salt in the wound.

Watmore might start, especially if Crooks is out or he may bring Jones’s back in, though most likely Archer gets his first start.

Think Clarke is probs most expensive and can see Diallo being high but United will probably be paying a lot of it.

Likes of The keeper, Neil, O’Nien, Hume, evans, cirkin, won’t be on much. I personally don’t think Pritchard or Roberts will be on big bucks. Stewart still on his first contract too.

Yeah I reckon it’s a chance for him to start Archer but would be interesting if it was Watmore
 
Next week, keep Stewart quiet and stop Pritchard in the MF and it will be job done.

They have some decent young players, certainly look as though they are heading in the right direction in a sustainable manner, but we "should" have too much for them.

BUT. It's the Championship and anyone can beat anyone on the day.

Be happy with a 1-0 and our typical worldie there to shut the mackems up ......😁

Pritchard is out and unlikely to be back.

You wouldn't believe it 🤣, but there's a 500 reply post about us (expect many, many more this week) on their message board about the attendance for this game. There are a fair few other posts about attendances too.

They're utterly and completely obsessed with it.
Badge of honour? Yes.
Well supported? Yes.
By rights should be a guarantee of three points at home because of it? "Forty thoosand roaring the laaaaads on"...they truly seem to think so.

But they don't care about us. 🤣
