For all the talk of us not wanting to go and play in front of 40,000 Mackems - I really don’t see why it would have been an issue at all based on this lack of turnout/atmosphere in the home end. Their fanbase really does seem demoralised
Watching at home, missus walks in and sees "SUN 0-0 POR" top of screen and says "let me guess, Sunderland and .... Portsmouth" Me: No it's Portugal Her: Oh, well I was half right.
On the bench - Hasnt impressed in this Sunderland system though
Surely if you spent 4m on a striker at this level (which must be more than half the divisions transfer spend combined), you'd build the team and system around him?
Or if not, then you'd at least buy a striker you knew would fit your system.
Sunderland have seemingly done neither, and just hoped for the best.

Sunderland spent the January Transfer Window just trying to replace Maja with any old Striker though

Presume they bought him purely on his impressive past figures in third division. But he’s not that player anymore. Similar to Holmes for us maybe.
4m is a disgusting amount to be paying for a player in third division.

Let's fill the valley next Friday and show that we havnt
Watching Hawkins and Wyke its like they're running through treacle!!
Yeaaa but neither have Portsmouth - Technically all three have been draws when you consider tonight is over 90mins
Bet Portsmouth are thinking the same about this game at the moment
Me: No it's Portugal

Ffs
That plan got thrown in the bin even before this game started so Sunderland are probably having to adjust
I'd be surprised if they're this shit on Thursday (Although they may be out of the tie by then)
Perhaps a slight preference for Sunderland given the history with us plus the fact Pompey have already won at Wembley this season.

Think they were linked with just about everyone
