Don’t post much but I was talking to my Dad about this game and I think he made a few valid points.
Generally we felt it was too close to call and it’ll come down to fine margins. We agreed that we are slightly the better team, more balanced and less reliant on 1/2 individuals for goals.
BUT
And this is the fine margin that may count, of the two managers, we agreed that whilst Moore has done a good job on us and has turned things around he is a bit too nice. Neil seems a bit more wiley, more likely to get them well up for it and more likely to use dark arts to get an advantage when required. Moore may just be a bit too nice and honest.
Hopefully we are wrong but on balance we felt Sunderland might just edge it due to this and a strong start at theirs that they hold on to at ours, similar to our games v Brighton a few years back.
