Guest Haris Vuckic Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 They still have there 3 months without a win to come - as per Bruce's normal league form. So we'll see how they cope after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 change of subject like.. Wearside- can you tell me how many times Sunderland have been relegated in the last 20 years? genuine question. Too many to mention but I'd like too think we are an established club now under the guidance of Quinn and Short. it must be 5 or 6 or maybe more. I just can not fathom how posters on smb can call Newcastle after 1 relegation in 20 years a yoyo club when Safc have had 5 or 6 times as many relegations- im not sure any other club has been in and out the prem more?

Ronaldo Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Sunderland are excellent at nullifying teams at home. The good thing about the way we score goals, is that it can't really be nullified easily. But I expect them to dominate in midfield and us to perhaps snatch a draw.

I may be wrong but on the times I've Newcastle on TV this season it seems most of the goals come through the input of Barton so I would say if we stop Barton then we will have a decent chance. I'm not saying we are going to win but we are very good at home and most teams find it difficult against us,lets just hope we don't get stagefright this time.

The good thing about the way we score goals, is that it can't really be nullified easily. But I expect them to dominate in midfield and us to perhaps snatch a draw. Indeed. When I've watched them, they have rarely taken control of a game and really opened teams up. They've mainly been nicking goals here and there and winning by the odd goal/not getting beat. They try the same tactic away albeit not as successfully due to a lack of home advantage. Either way, Bruce has developed a sense of togetherness and work-rate there (Bent rarely lets defenders have an easy day, even if he doesn't score), and at the moment, without blowing teams away, they don't look like being beaten at home.
