Even though we're still unbeaten at home and it does give us a slight advantage going into this game, the best we can get from this game is a point which wouldn't be that bad of a result but because of the last 2 games we could really do with 2 wins from these next 2 home games but with all the injuries we've got and how stretched we are I just can't see us getting a win tomorrow, I hope I'm wrong and we catch Sheffield United by surprise but deep down it's either gonna be a draw or a defeat
From what I hread we COULD have even more players missing tomorrow what known . Nkt going to be easy. If the players are missing that might be missing no chance what soever we get a draw . It will be 3 or 4 -0 Sheffield United
@ThaneME2 the 2 is Cirkin and Neil. Cirkin hamstring, Neil Quad. Both might play both might not from what I hread Cirkin is more likely to play then Neil but we'll have to see
@ThaneME2 yeah we do . I mean in 1 way l do feel sorry RLB because if Cirkin and Neil don't make it pray to god there do . There's be 12 players missing with is bad luck. But it also shows that our squad depth isn't good enough and that's why for me we'll nor stay in the race for top 2
Going to Sunderland away tonight. Be a tough test for both teams, we needs to start winning again to try catch up with Leeds, to only take one point from our two home games over Christmas was poor, but I'd deffo take a point at stadium of light. Best of luck to Sunderland for rest of season but only after tonights game. UTB ⚔️🔴⚪🔴⚪🔴⚪
By Ryan, thanks for commenting: love to see away fans in the chat. I agree it’s going to be a tough competitive game. Hope you have a safe trip up and back. All the best.
Have a happy new year Wayne. All the best with the channel next year.im going for a 2.2 draw in this game.isodor and Roberts with the goals.all the best keep up the good work.
First of all Wayne I want to wish you and all the subscribers a very Happy New Year but when it comes to the team I don't know what to expect these days, which team will turn up or who will fail to perform, it's a case of what will be will be and learn to live with it, so let's all hope that the new year will see a positive upturn in team performance and results and see out a strong push until the season end and hopefully promotion to the EPL which will be the start of more hurdles to face and clear. Enjoy the match tonight folks and Ha'way the lads 🔴⚪👍
Thanks John, all the best to you and the family. I agree we never know what Sunderland will turn up. Positively when we play a top team we pull out a performance so I’m hoping we can do that tonight. All the best 🔴⚪️
Happy new year Wayne it's gonna be a busy day tomorrow. Very hard game and it is a must win game so we can keep in touch with the top two 🤔 sneaky home win (if it's ugly so be it )😮🤞👍
Happy New Year to you and your family, Wayne. 3-2 to the lads. We seem to do alright against the top teams. Can't understand why Aouchiche hasn't been starting after his performance against Stoke. HWTL
Hi Wayne - I think KLD & Speakman are ready to spend and strengthen. An additional striker is a must, but how well existing/returning players (Samed/Poveda) do + possible bids for some of our players adds complexity. I think Jobe or Rigg will stay put this window. If we get promoted, they could give us another year, if not, they're likely to move on. January is a pivotal month - we'll see how it goes. Happy New Year. Cheers. Jim
Great comments Jim. I how they are ready to invest as it would be the perfect time to invest now. I hope we can see Samed soon too with being back to fitness. All the best 🔴⚪️
Happy new year to you and your loved ones Wayne, hope you all have a great 2025. Hoping for a win tonight but at least a good performance!!! 2-1 win ♥️🤍♥️🤍FTM
Hi bud happy new year to you and all. Love the new scarf, Santa was good to you 😂 I think we are going to do the business in this one , we always step up when we play the better sides , tight game but I think 3-1 to the lads with 2 late goals 🤞. Great in depth match preview as always. All the best👍
Cheers Mel that really means a lot. I agree, Santa was really good 🤣🤣. I agree also that we always do well against big sides so hopefully we can do the same tonight. All the best. 🔴⚪️
Happy New Year ! My optimism is slowly going south especially after the Stoke game. IMO this is a must win game if we are to have any chance of automatic promotion. So looking for a response from the lads and a 3-1 win for us. Fingers crossed!
Great points hopefully get a few decent signings in January. I think this is going to be as good as chance we get the way it is nowadays with clubs buying all your best players and parachute payments.
Happy new year to everyone,this is a must win for Sunderland lose this and it's playoffs for definite win and automatic promotion still on,but as I said must win
Happy NY Wayne. I'm hoping Aouchiche really takes his chance this time and shows how creative a player he can be. That said, if teams in the Championship could only play left-sided attacking players we'd almost certainly be clear, on top. I think we can win tomorrow in a low scoring game (ie 1-0); fingers--crossed.
Happy New Year to all too. Re the team I agree with Alese for Cirkin as Cirkin is not quite at it at the moment. I would much rather keep Isidor than Connolly though. Agree about the rest of the team barring Moore. Patto for me still.
I’m sure that we have some targets we want to sign but that does not mean they want to come to us. These quality players have many opportunities to go elsewhere so they won’t be rushing to join us. It’s far too easy to point the finger at management and say they failed to sign strikers. Quality players are v hard to find especially in mid season.
I agree mate, if we are trying to sign these types then that’s a start. We can’t force them but being at the top end of the table will definitely help. Cheers. 🔴⚪️
2-1 Sunderland. Hoping Cirkin and Isidor will play themselves back into form. If he plays, hoping Aleksic takes the bull by the horns now his first full start is behind him. Let's start the year with a win. Ha'way the lads!!
Isidor can’t be that low on confidence he scored a back heel 2 games ago and had chances save onto the post in last game. Been unlucky in last 2 games wouldn’t be in a rush to change too many things as dropping players not good for their confidence too. 2-1 win tomorrow
Do we ever have a good Christmas period our defense has become shaky so no clean sheet not scoring freely so dropping Patto and Isador defo. So 1 2 loss
My team (if players are fit people will know whst 2 playiers i an on about if read thane comment) GK Patterson RB Hume CB Mepham CB O'Nien LB Cirkin CM Aleksic CM Neil CM Jobe RM Roberts ST Isidor LM Aouchiche Subs Moore, Hjelde, Alese, Jones, Ba,Rusyn,Connolly, Ogunsuyi, Mayenda Wouldn't be against Alese for Cirkin. As he hasn't being great since come back from injury. Unfortunate Mayenda will play on the left with Aouchiche in midfield. Fuck it score prediction Sunderland 1-0 Sheffield United Adi Aouchiche

@markacky21 we need players in badly

Happy new year Wayne and all Sunderland Supporters Keep The Faith and Wayne keep doing these great vlogs.
Cheers Kevin means a lot: all the best 🔴⚪️
Happy New Year Wayne, all at Burnley rooting for you guys tomorrow
Cheers Mark, all the best to you too: I hope we can do the business but not confident at all.

Happy New Year All Cheers

Hard game, 3-1 to the lads!! Jobe to score 👍 all the best mate 👍🍻
Hope you’re right mate.
Happy New Year to you and your family, Wayne. 3-2 to the lads. We seem to do alright against the top teams. Can't understand why Aouchiche hasn't been starting after his performance against Stoke. HWTL

Great points hopefully get a few decent signings in January. I think this is going to be as good as chance we get the way it is nowadays with clubs buying all your best players and parachute payments.
Fingers crossed mate: hope your well: good comments 🔴⚪️

The Heroes 1 Sheffield U 0
Happy New Year Wayne
Have a brilliant 2025
All the best Tim
Cheers Tim, I would take that for sure: all the best: 🔴⚪️
Come boys waynes right we need the win .. we need to put this right going into 25
Cheers mate.

I think we can win tomorrow in a low scoring game (ie 1-0); fingers--crossed.
All the best to you David. I will take that 1-0 lol. Defo agree about left wingers too. All the best.
Happy New Year to all too. Re the team I agree with Alese for Cirkin as Cirkin is not quite at it at the moment. I would much rather keep Isidor than Connolly though. Agree about the rest of the team barring Moore. Patto for me still.
Hi Chris, good shout about Isidor, probably more of a threat than Connolly. All the best 🔴⚪️
I’m sure that we have some targets we want to sign but that does not mean they want to come to us. These quality players have many opportunities to go elsewhere so they won’t be rushing to join us.

Good vid m8 lads to win 1-0
2-1 Sunderland. Hoping Cirkin and Isidor will play themselves back into form. If he plays, hoping Aleksic takes the bull by the horns now his first full start is behind him. Let's start the year with a win. Ha'way the lads!!
Fingers crossed mate. They need to do it sooner rather than later.
Win or break tonight for play offs don't sell buy 3 0layers goalscorers a must and full back
We defo need some new players mate for sure: 🔴⚪️
Sound a bit more positive Wayne like me pissed off last game win would be fantastic tomorrow 🔴🌑⚪️👍🏼
Trying to be Jim. All the best.
Its a 1-1 draw for me with Isodor to score
Would take it Brian 🔴⚪️
How can you play onien and leave cirkin out????
Alese needs to come in at cb.
Current form mate
Great analysis. Patto needs dropping. I was really impressed with Moore.
Thanks mate really appreciate it. I totally agree:
Isidor can’t be that low on confidence he scored a back heel 2 games ago and had chances save onto the post in last game. Been unlucky in last 2 games wouldn’t be in a rush to change too many things as dropping players not good for their confidence too. 2-1 win tomorrow
Good shout Steven about Isidor. Never thought of it like that. 🔴⚪️
Knew it would be 2-1 👍🏼
1-0 Sheffield United. They can be a tough nut to crack
2.0 the lads
Cheers Colin ❤
Do we ever have a good Christmas period our defense has become shaky so no clean sheet not scoring freely so dropping Patto and Isador defo. So 1 2 loss
Agree we always find ways to mess things up like.
1-1 with Jobe scoring.
❤
If we don't win tonight its over Sunderland 2 nil win isidor
Sunderland 1 Sheffield United 1 🔴⚪🔴⚪
Cheers Alex 😊
0-2 win Shefeild win
Cheers Ken
Sunderland 2 Sheffield 1
Chers John
Hope so many players aren't playing at 60% like at Stoke.
Lowest gate of the season in the Stadium.
Haway 3-1 to the lads
Missing 3 strikers and Ballard is bad watching this at home cannot be bothered now should have been a massive game, top 2 gone now
I hope so too Ray
My team (if players are fit people will know whst 2 playiers i an on about if read thane comment)
GK Patterson
RB Hume CB Mepham CB O'Nien LB Cirkin
CM Aleksic CM Neil CM Jobe
RM Roberts ST Isidor LM Aouchiche
Subs
Moore, Hjelde, Alese, Jones, Ba,Rusyn,Connolly, Ogunsuyi, Mayenda
Wouldn't be against Alese for Cirkin. As he hasn't being great since come back from injury. Unfortunate Mayenda will play on the left with Aouchiche in midfield.
Fuck it score prediction Sunderland 1-0 Sheffield United Adi Aouchiche
Great comments Mark. I hope we can do the business tonight. Be great to get back to winning ways and claw back points on the top two. All the best 🔴⚪️
