3 forwards on the bench - and hope McGree has been doing extra shooting practice this week.

Hmmm. No midfielders on the bench. Instead 3 forwards and three full backs. We really do need some midfielders if he's going to go all Garry monk on us. Hopefully Sunderland won't have any subs to freshen up their midfield either.

He f---ing needs it - he frustrates me because there is a good player in there, just mucks up the shot too often.

Not a dig at just Mcgree but it really winds me up how poor footballers are at hitting the target from the edge of the area.

I'm going to watch this in my lucky pub. Last game I watched there was our win v the mackams under aitor. So if we win it's down to me.

Ross Stewart injured in the warm up .. hopefully a big miss for them!

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Ross Stewart out. Roberts in.... Not sure what's worse

Stewart is a much better player

 

[Borobuddah]

Yup, that’s good news

 

[Andy_W]

I really dislike this like of centre mid subs, it's scares the shyte out of me

Stewart out injured in warm-up (replaced by Roberts), wouldn't wish injury on a player, but it should help our chances, albeit more chance they're going to sit back now, which isn't ideal for us.

 

[UTB70]

Tight game i reckon. Going for 1 nil. Muniz winner

 

[Laughing]

I don't think it will be tight. After the initial 10 minutes of blood and thunder it will settle down and we will dominate.

If it clicks tonight we'll get goals. Can we keep Sunderland out? You would bloody hope so. 3 nil for me.
