Just read John moncur saying he isn't worried about playing us this weekend as they have been beating all the bigger clubs this season and if Sunderland can score 2 they can score a lot more against us ha ha I really hope we beat them as it seems they think they are better than they actually are COYB.

I'd hold my laughing till after the game Bluey79. I hope we beat them 6 - 0. But he has a point they are a better side than Sunderland. The positive for them is that Sunderland scored 2 against us. Not many games will be won when you let 2 goals in.
Sounds like they are already targeting Howard. I'll repeat what said above in case people gets idea's that I want Howard to have a bad game to prove me right. I hope to god we win 6 - 0 and Howard gets man of the match. No sarcasm what so ever in this post.

They've done well vs the bigger clubs, away from home, at Upton Park they've lost to Leicester and Bournmouth. We play best away from home, though they will target Howard with those balls in to the box for Carroll. Just hope we target bambi on ice Ogbonna as he looks dreadful.

He has a point. Sunderland were really bad, it is no exaggeration to say playing like that they would be toward the bottom of the Championship. Having said that they scored 2 against us and hit the post twice. 2 or 3 places above them and I honestly don't think we would have got away with it.

Exactly my thinking duncansmum.

I'm under no illusions it will be a tough game but we are not a poor team just because they have a very good start one of their former players comes out and says he isn't worried about playing us well imo he should be because before long West ham will drop to mid table and we will be where should be challenging top 6.

I love your positivity Bluey79. Hope your right and it turns out like you say.

Frightening thing is Sunderland could and maybe should have scored 4!

Yes, exactly wakka57. You wouldn't think just 2 seasons ago we had the second best defence in the PL. I'm not convinced by the attitude, you score we'll score more. It might work against the likes of Sunderland but not many other teams in PL
Would rather return to having a top notch defence like we had not that long ago. Attacking football can be played with a tight back line. Like was proved in Martinez's first season.
