Sunderland v Portsmouth - Checkatrade Trophy Final

[Sunderland Nut]

Portsmouth are making a substitute now because they know they have it all to do.

[Nockya]

Who will be the hero for Sunderland McGeady or Grigg?

It was a game made for McGeady but if Grigg gets a goal then he could well be depending on the quality of it. Obviously if Grigg gets two goals he would become the hero. For now its McGeady all the way.

It was a game made for McGeady

Correct, this is the sort of game he loves.

The lads are slackening a bit here.
Portsmouth are indeed playing up but we knew they would get a 10 minute spell.
Haway the lads, we need this win.

[Bus Driver]

Portsmouth are having a purple patch like. I wonder what their manager put in their tea

[Jenky]

If ever there was a time when we need a hero its now. Is Will Grigg on fire?
Haway the lads

[Bus Driver]

Oh dear me the lads are a shadow of their first half performance.
Looks like we have players warming up and so do they.
Going to be an interesting final 20 minutes.

[thingamajig]

Portsmouth have their lanky player up front now so it looks like they are throwing their final dice with that tactic.
Goochy is coming on for Morgan.

[Sunderland Nut]

We need to cut the ball off from their big striker.
Hopefully we have rode the storm because anything could happen if they score.
We don't want extra time.

[Jenky]

Grigg off and Max Power on.
15 minutes to go and we only have one up front - Gooch.
Looks like we are going to defend this slender lead but the only problem I see with this is we are defending too deep and inviting them
