Sunderland v Portsmouth Play Offs First Leg

Sunderland are at home for the first leg of the League One play offs.
The game is televised so don't expect more than 30,000 tonight.

Sunderland starting XI: McLaughlin, O’Nien, Ozturk, Flanagan, Oviedo, Cattermole, Power, Honeyman, McGeady, Morgan, Wyke
SAFC substitutes: Ruiter, Matthews, Maguire, Gooch, Dunne, Grigg, Leadbitter

Usual boring stuff so far, same old same old.

Let me know if we go two goals up will yous

It is just a normal game for Sunderland, can't see any spark or passion at all.
Fingers crossed though.

Get in from Maguire

That was a brilliant goal.

We needed a special touch and Maguire did it.
If we can only take a 2 goal cushion down to Portsmouth it would be class.

Ozturk sent off

Maguire was close there, thought that was the second.

If we can scrape through this with 10 men and avoid the dreaded 1-1 draw which was on the cards, we've done well.
There's very little in it.
